1. *eyes Ike sternly* STAY! (So far, only the low-lying area where MrIris's company is located is under mandatory evacuation, and that's because of possible flooding, not because the eye is likely to pass over it. We're far enough inland and on high enough ground that we should be unaffected. But people get crazy when stuff like this happens.) 7pm: Mandatory evacuation for all of Brazoria County starting at 8am tomorrow morning. Traffic is going to be FUCKED.
2. So, we had planned on going to San Antonio this weekend because The Gourds are doing a show there Saturday. I tried to convince MrIris to leave early on Thursday so that we could catch opening night of the Why So Serious? tour - The Cab babies' opening night of their first ever headlining tour! - but he was not swayed. Then friends reminded us that he'd promised to help paint and tile their new condo, so we canceled the plans. But now theymight beare being forced to evacuate Freeport to avoid the dirty side/storm surge of Ike, so we're going to San Antonio after all. I still have not convinced him to leave early Thursday, though. :( He wants to leave as early as possible Thursday, so I'm going to do what I need to do at work, then skedaddle.
3. Random quote of interest from the RNC, from someone discussing John McCain: "...he can best run the company." The guy corrected himself, but you know, I think that wasn't a slip, it was correct. The problem I have with many Republican "conservatives" is that they want government to run like a business, to be an investment, to earn them money and secure their comfortable life over others', not, you know, GOVERN. For everyone equally.
4. The Lexicon/JKR lawsuit. I'm only about half-way through the decision. Urgh, legal-ese is harder for me to parse than science-ese.
5. Watched the season premiere of Fringe last night. OMG, pseudo science AT ITS HEIGHT. Is it supposed to be the new X-Files?
6. Was I supposed to receive artwork with my copy of The Quilt, or was that sent by accident? I don't remember ordering anything but the CD, but the package came with limited edition cover art. Only one listen, all the way through, but... NRGH, Disashi. The reggae beat to Blinded By The Sun gets me past the sampling of Sunglasses At Night. My early favorite songs are Like Father Like Son and Live A Little.
