Category 1 or 2? That doesn't sound very impressive. I'm sure Kino has survived worse tornadoes/thunder storms. Wind, yes, I've survived far worse. It's the water, though, that will be dangerous. We're expecting a 7-10 foot storm surge, plus tide, plus 12-15 inches of rain. That's a lot of water fo...

North Carolina is going to get the worst of the storm. It's due to hit the coast at the OBX and drift northeast along the coast. It'll pass in the ocean near Virginia Beach, so where I live will actually be spared the worst of the wind. "Only" 58-65mph wind. That's Oklahoma on a normal win...

Isn't ND close to Kino? Or am I confusing some states' locations? North Dakota is in the top-middle. I used to live in Oklahoma, which is dead-center, below North Dakota (and South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas -- all roughly rectangular and square-ish states stacked on top of each other) I currentl...

http://i.imgur.com/0CMCwl.jpg I read the first 2 volumes of After School Nightmare. Can't decide if I want to get the rest of it of it or not. Definitely an interesting premise. The art's a little weird, not sure I like it. Not offensively, but the interior art is definitely not as pretty as the co...

Finished season 4 of Venture Brothers Season started slow, but finished strong. Operation P.R.O.M. was one of the better season finales, in my opinion. The Season 1/Season 2 finale-premier story-arc is still one of my absolute favorites. Way better than 2-3 and 3-4, definitely -- I found Season 4's ...

I, too, am tempted to get a cyberpunk roselbot

Skirts are awesome.

I'm glad I don't work this weekend. Super lucked out on that one.

I'll try baking soda. That seems logical, or at least harmless. Also, puberty is pretty well established to increase gland activity. Especially steroids, most obviously testosterone. Can't think of an easy fix for that one, though. Yeah, I'm 25. Pretty sure this isn't related to puberty. Never had a...

noodles, zeta, maxine -- one of you has to get liferake's birthday.

I cannot.

I shall be battling a hurricane that day.

yaaaaaaaaaay

Classic kino is classy

So, right now it's looking like we're directly in the path of Hurricane Irene. Very likely I won't be online over the weekend, and if we lose power like when Hurricane Isabel hit it could take a week to regain power. Wish me luck, guys. Some people are talking about evacuating. I think we're gonna s...
