It's damp and yucky - torrential rain one minute - just muck the next.
I'm outta here.
Going to SA to finally see Dark Knight at the IMAX
By myself :-(

Jul. 14th, 2008 03:36 pmI am not shy how I feel about this. Instead of raping our resources further - let's at least put some honest effort into renewable energy and fuel efficient vehicle technology.
& another thing...... since we're stomping all over our freedoms these days - how about making it illegal to own a Hummer or SUV???

"Once again, the oilman in the White House is echoing the demands of Big Oil," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "The Bush plan is a hoax. It will neither reduce gas prices nor increase energy independence. It just gives millions more acres to the same companies that are sitting on nearly 68 million acres of public lands and coastal areas."

Ugh what a weird and in some ways awful day it turned out to be.
I got up at a reasonable hour, and I let the chickens out - did some digging for the lavender bed - and did a morning walk. Then I hung at the PC a little while messing with Itunes and Imeem. Then I went to the sink to get a glass of water because I was hot and thirsty by now.
No water.
My first thought - oops, they got my nasty letter about last month's water bill and decided to teach me a lesson. I went to my neighbor to ask him if his water was okay, but I'd forgotten he's 100% off the grid waterwise. He said walk the back property and make sure there's no ponds there from a line break. I did - there wasn't. Called the water company - there was a water main break they were working on (this was about 1pm) - and it'd me 3 or 4 hours before we had water again.
I said $%*@ that and went to the movies and saw Hellboy II. Way worth it. Eye candy and great effects. No real plot or great performances, but who cares!? I'll be buying this one, and I rarely buy DVD's. The sets and costumes were stunning - especially in Troll Village (or was it town?). I would have felt I'd gotten my monies worth had I even paid full price.
Got home after a side trip to Lowes for more planting supplies.
No Water.
So, I managed to finish the first Lavender bed. Mind you - I'm a veggie gardener not a landscaper, and the poor Lavender plants are lost in their bed right now - but here's
It's now 11pm, and there's still No Water.
I'm filthy dirty - I really need a shower. I guess I can break out the baby wipes..... :-)

Okay, maybe I'm just a negative cynic, but isn't it strange that this happens AFTER I cancel my membership?
They sent me an email titled Blockbuster Notice with this inside. I almost just deleted it without opening because I thought it was spam.
I called, and of course they received the video - and they are crediting my card.
Am I just being silly to think maybe they would do this hoping I wouldn't notice so they can get a final $20 out of me?
Yes, it is - shame on me!

This is about 45 minutes. but if you missed it on FX it's worth watching. After seeing this I felt less bad about my own situation and very mad that we live in a country that is structured to make it so damn difficult on some of our society.
