• Sadness is. #
• Mycah seems to be doing a lot better today – eating & pooping normally. And by "pooping normally," I mean, "on the carpet." :-| #
• Truth. // RT @DrewMTips: Watching modern day revolutions are an excellent reminder of what a miracle the American Revolution was. #
• "One year I did all my Christmas shopping here" is not how I would ever want to be quoted in a TV ad for a thrift store. #
• Mycah is much better. She wolfed her food, I caught her playing with a toy (!) and she peed on my dirty laundry. OK, 2 out of 3 isn't bad. #
• Oh, huzzah. RT @pinkelephantpun: Oh, good. RT @RepReneeEllmers: Hurricane Irene Headed Toward the Carolinas: http://t.co/G50Efq7 #NC2 #
• Earthquake in NC? My house just shook for 30-60 seconds #
• Man, I moved away from California to get away from these damn things #
• OK, as earthquakes I've been in go, that wasn't a biggie… but the biggest I've felt since Northridge in '94. #
• My cats *totally* didn't freak out in any way at all prior to the earthquake. Science! #
• 1) Earthquake today. 2) Hurricane later this week. Shall we go for the trifecta? How about 3) asteroid strike? #
• As a native Californian with a lot of quake experience, I would suggest: relax, people. The earth isn't going to open up and swallow you. #
• I kind of wonder if my networks at work were affected by the quake. Maybe I should call in. #
• 5.9 in CA = barely a mention in the news. 5.9 in DC = WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!11!!1!! #
• The difference between quakes and hurricanes? You can't see a quake coming. From a satellite 22,236 miles up. A week in advance. #
• OK, *now* my cats are freaking out. Geniuses. #
• Must remember this…. RT @LIFECOACHERS: Try waving goodbye with five fingers instead of just the middle one. #
• Every time Marco Rubio speaks, remember that Cornyn and the NRSC picked Charlie Crist. Make your campaign contributions accordingly. #tcot #
• Sorry about that "earthquake" yesterday. It was just a bad burrito. #
• I bet that when they cast the "killing bin Laden" movie, whoever gets the role of the shooter will bear an uncanny resemblance to Obama. #
• This "Flexseal" product looks quite useful. Especially if you happen to have a boat with a screen door built into the hull. #redeye #
• Too much awesome. MT @JimPethokoukis: Toshiro Mifune. Driving an MG. Top-down. With his Samurai. Sword. On. The. Dash. http://t.co/UxScOsW #
• Even though I'm way inland, I'm totally prepared for Irene to blow past. I have my canned food, bottled water, and shotguns. #notworried #
• Imagine what life must have been like before decent weather predictions. "Say, Jeb – is that a hurricane over yonder?" "Yup." "Oh crap." #
• We always have TV news on at work so we know if there's something happening that'll damage our network. Not gonna need the TV this weekend. #
• Looking at the radar, I'm guessing the rain might hit here before too long. #
• I was thinking of doing some tidying up, but decided to wait & make sure the house doesn't blow down. I'm not worried, but why take chances? #
• Local weather reporter described some Outer Banks residents' attitude about the hurricane as "lack-a-daisy." #
• I keep meaning to get a generator, and I keep putting it off. #StupidPeopleTricks #

• Windy as heck, but I have power and network (for now.) (Knock wood.) #
• Something large and heavy fell on my roof right after I went to bed this a.m. – I haven't yet been able to check on what it might have been. #
