Well, you've read the notes, the notes fell, and now it is time for you to post until the fallen cows come home.

And the word of the day is: REGNANT!

Topic of the Day: I first joined MySpace because I was doing my first show with Theater Artists Olympia and they had their own page and sent cast information through there. Then, they also migrated to Facebook, and so did I. I don't post too much on FB, just "like" things that friends have posted. And I chat with a few friends on Messenger. That's pretty much it anymore.

I ordered a chicken sandwich from an all-night jernt - don't think a turkey sandwich is enough food for an entire day and I've been wanting to try this jernt.

My hurricane news is brief. Before I went to bed, the rain was very heavy around 8:00, but when I woke around midnight, there was no sound of anything turbulent occurring outside my window. I think New Jersey was much harder hit.

I wonder how it went in Deer Park, DR vixmom?

Speaking of our DR vixmom, I loved her new job reports.

I'm not sure what's on my agenda today. The worktable cleanup continues, and I have to prepare a package to send to Miami University Library of all the things I had intended to send in July's last carton shipment.

I'm trying to tie up as many loose ends as I can before my unemployment runs out on Sept. 5. I must admit the thought terrifies me since I see absolutely no employment looming for some time yet, and I have no idea what further bills may be looming. This morning I got a $50 co-pay on those hip and knee x-rays, and I have no idea how high the August utilities bill will be. July's was $236.00 because of the AC.

What an INSANE day, evening, and night of rainstorms.

So in less than two weeks, we've had some damage from two consecutive hurricanes -- a weak one that was a direct hit from the Atlantic, the other landing in Louisiana and traveling through many states to get here and still managing to kick the region's ASS.

And in that same amount of time, there have been two (count 'em) tornado watches/warnings in the area. I think there was some actual tornado damage in New Jersey last night, maybe up here, too.

Vixmom, any problems in your 'hood?

Isn't climate change fun?

We had a 13- or 14-second power outage here this morning.

I was awakened from a dream (which hasn't yet come back to me) by the sound of our generator starting to crank up. I saw my clock radio blinking and my phone said 5:29 am -- so the storm had probably just cleared our area not long before. But the generator didn't start, it just went quiet after cranking up. I sat up in a panic wondering if something was wrong with it. A few moments later I realized that even though the clock radio display was blinking, we did have power. I mean, without power it wouldn't be doing anything at all, and there was still a lamp on. So I got up anyway to have a look around.

What happens when there's an outage is that the generator detects it and waits for ten seconds. That's so momentary blips don't cause it to come on. Then it starts itself up. This time, the power came back just after that, so it didn't fire up all the way, and that was a tight bit of timing.

I have a couple of friends in the Bronx and in Brooklyn who have never had water issues when it comes to storms.

As of early this morning, the one in the Bronx has 18 inches of water in her basement, and has no idea what to do. The one in Brooklyn knew there was a little coming in last night, and has yet to get up the courage to go down and look this morning.

I hope the VIXES' basement is okay!

We had a similar one two days ago, around 8:00pm.

Nice posts from DR VIXMOM last night about her new job - but not the commute.

Knee approval vibes for DR ELMORE.

I feel exactly the same way about Facebook as MR BK does.

I post there a few times a day and read my messages. But there are people whose posts I suddenly NEVER see....

I use Facebook mostly as a communication tool when I'm doing a show....I create a private group and all cast/staff/crew members are invited to join. Of course there is always one Luddite who "doesn't do Facebook".....so I have the email them anyway.

Both my computer and Annabelle are acting up this morning.

Now I have to re-do the sound cues for the play. The director has decided to use REAL firecrackers....so I'll also have to make a sign for the lobby telling the patrons that....so nobody is THAT surprised when it happens.

Although I know it's coming and I still jump!

I do know we’re going to the symphony this weekend and that Carpathia Jenkins is singing with them.
