a mighty wind

feeling a little lonely and blue this evening, G gone to her monday and weds evening job, pouring rain outside. i was going to start putting things into the garage, advance prep for isabel's arrival, but i'm not interested in slogging around out there in this downpour.  this is what i hate about hurricanes, well, one of the many things, the extended period of anxiety and waiting before knowing where they're going to make landfall.  the only thing i really love about them is watching the waves build in size and force, the crashing power of the ocean and wind combined.  maybe i'll put the dog in the truck and go over to the beach and get high on negative ions. 

moveon.org has an interesting new addition to their arsenal in the ongoing campaign against the junta.  it's a daily updating of lies from our leader, called, appropriately, misleader.org.  if you can stomach it they'll send you a daily dose of this stuff, "just in time for your first cup of coffee," as they cheerily note.  so, you see, i haven't been news fasting after all.  i haven't been checking as many news sites, or political blogs.  mainly because my constant monitoring of weather sites and the weather channel has taken over my normal obsessive news attention. 

i have noted that ben and jlo have most likely broken up.  the important things are the important things, no?
