Natalie is getting ready to head off to work, I am reading the paper. Action.
Me: Listen to what Bush said: "The destruction casued by Ivan... was terrible." Haha! He says funny things. I think I do a good Bush impersonation. Natalie: You do a great Bush. Me: I think I'm gonna vote for him. He's more fun to impersonate and easier to make fun of. Natalie: That's a great reason to vote for someone. Me: Be honest. Natalie: Oh great, I can't find my keys. Me: They're in your white purse. Natalie: Great. Make sure you watch over the little bunny. I let her loose in the living room, and I don't want her to chew on the wires and get electrocuted. Me: That's alright, she'll learn a little lesson. Natalie: Is that what you want? Great, Cory. Me: A lesson in death. |

| vividness |
|
One thing I noticed about being deprived of visual information for so long is that my dreams got extremely vivid... like I was the protagonist in some blockbuster movie with that famous-sounding voice (who does all those action movie previews) narrorating:
"You are about to experience... (crazy action graphics) the most INTENSE dream... (flying vortex of colors) you have ever had... (naked women jumping off cliffs) in your ENTIRE life... (a gigantic hammer crushes a mountain) EVER!" |

| cashin in |
 2 days ago I was joking with some of my customers that Home Depot is probably paying off The Weather Channel to maximize fear in as many areas as possible. Little did I know they would be so up front about it. This ad is on the front page of their site. Is that sick or what? |

Insane Storm
9/15/2004 - New York City "in the past i've written lots of mundane journal entries about the weather. but the weather here in the states is not mundane these days. my goodness, it's like some evil wizard in africa keeps sending monster storm after monster storm against the american south. if, by any chance, someone is reading this in biloxi or baton rouge or pensacola or new orleans please heed your respective governor's warnings and leave. the storm might not be as bad as everyone's predicting, but it's better to err on the side of safety when confronted by a monstrous hurricane with 125 mile an hour winds. america is insane. when you go to europe or australia or most of asia they just can't relate to growing up in a country with huge hurricanes and tornadoes and heat waves that kill people and cold waves that kill people. maybe that's one of the reasons that americans are so crazy, we grow up assuming that it's normal for thousands of people to get killed by the weather every year. if you live in the path of this insane storm please take care and evacuate." -moby |

| for mandy |
 Here is the little sketch Mandy drew for me in a matter of minutes while I was chatting at the bar with her sister, Robin, at Side Splitter's Comedy Club down in Tampa. Thanks again, Mandy, for the drawing. You have an awesome ability as an illustrator. You need to keep working jobs that allow you to sit and hone your skillz. Good luck this weekend, I hope you don't get blown away by Ivan. You won't have to put up with such things when you're in Germany. |

| exorcise this |
|
We just got back from Exorcist: The Begininng. And, you may know this, but I'll remind you: Hollywood is out of ideas, ppl. Just when I was getting into this movie, they had to ruin it by trying to be like the first one.
What the hell is happening to movies? Every genre is tapped out. Horror, sci-fi, fantasy, comedy... the list goes on. "Let's reach back to something that was a huge financial success, and see if we can't squeeeeeeezzzee more dollars out of it." Just look at what's playing: Open Water = Blair Witch + Jaws AVP = a sci-fi Freddy vs. Jason Hero = a more luscious Crouching Tiger Wicker Park = Single White Female + Swimfan The Cookout = Barbershop (with a grill) Anacondas = Lord, help us The Princess Diaries 2?! = I think I'm gonna puke on myself Hollywood knows your gonna pay money to see something over the weekend, the studios just hope you pick their crap over someone else's poor excuse for a film. It's sick. Show me different dimensions. Show me colors I've never seen. Show me ppl experiencing something I've never heard of. Show me emptiness. Show me the mass wave of saddness that's drowning America, because everyone is too afraid to express how they really feel. Show me life on other planets. Show me the truth behind ultimate power. Show me the shape of a soul. Show me a million naked women floating in the air. Show me a vehicle I never thought of. Show me The Boy who Could Fly... oh, wait, I saw that one. Why was that so good, anyway? Show me something I haven't seen before. I'm waiting. Let's go, chop-chop. (fingers hovering) I have this great idea for a movie. |

| hot damn |
| I know I talk about leaving this place all the time. I know. I will someday, that's true. It's small time. It's small town, but HOT damn, if it isn't heaven to sit in a HOT jacuzzi and drink a beer after working on your feet for 5 hours. |

| preparedness |
I just found out a typhoon is just a hurricane that spins in the other direction. We are locked an loaded for Frances. I just hope we don't loose power for too long, if we get hit hard. I could go crazy fast in this place without my precious Internet connection. I think it's funny to watch the weather people get blown around all over the screen. It's always the same report too: "Yeah, it's real windy. We just saw some doors get blown open. And some trees fall over. It's just insane. I mean, I heard hundreds of children were gunned down the other day in Russia, but these Floridians are going through some MAJOR discomfort right now. Back to you, Mindy!" |

| good news, bad news & vice versa |
|
good news: I just got done running 1/2 mile.
bad news: It took me 6 minutes & 14 seconds. On this same day, last year > I ran 1 mile in 7:56. Yikes. I'm not sure how long it's gonna take me to get back to my fastest logged mile (7.00), but it looks like I have an uphill battle ahead of me. One thing I noticed when I was running was my right butt cheek. It jiggled like a ziploc bag filled with pink jello (caused by atrophy / not using the muscle). I guess you can't tell what the color pink feels like, but I think it made a nice visual. bad news: Gatorade seems to have discontinued my favorite flavor, Fierce Melon. good news: They have this new flavor as part of their "Xtremo" line, Mango Electrico. Sooo goood. And I like to say the word, "electrico." |
