I’m very tired. The drive up from Hershey always screws me up. Feels a little worse than normal as I was already pretty zonked before going down. While I was gone yesterday my mom made progress on the skunk smell but it still lingers. I bought all sorts of candles and perfumes at Wal-Mart yesterday to help with it and she ended up throwing out the carpets the dog slept on. How bad is it? We got to Jim’s and opened up my xbox bag and it smelled of skunk — it was at the farthest end of the house in my bedroom, yet there it smells of that wonderfully horrible creature.
“Underworld” was a lot better than I expected. Like a thrill park ride. Kate Beckinsale immediately stole Evil James’ heart. She reminds me of my friend Chellie the Okto-Girl. Tight anime inspired outfit with really big boots. That’s Chellie all the way. Now if she ever buys that outfit, we’re all dead. 🙂
The storm damage was much worse down the river than it was up here. Evil James’ parents had a huge tree falling apart in their front yard. In another area we saw a tree down on power lines, which didn’t look very good at all. One thing that I noticed, and we’ve been through far worse storms than this one, was that all the leaves from the trees were down in the road for the first time, which really played hell with my allergies. It was like cutting the grass without a bag on the back of your mower, you leave a trail of dead grass behind you in clumps — well there were those clumps everywhere all over the highway.
Have to work in a few. It’s the day from hell for work, then afternoon shifts and hauling wood all week. Dear god. I know my body’s changing but I’m not getting any upper body strength. I’ve never had upper arm strength but it was sad that I couldn’t tear open a half frozen thing of pizza dough. The pizza went over well, though it was more of a New York style pizza than the deep dish I wanted to make. I’ll make deep dish again when the guys come up.
With that, I’m off to take a shower.
