I want to pour myself a glass of scotch but I just brushed my teeth so it would taste weird, stupid oral hygiene.
Is there anything more pathetic than a newscaster trying to dramatize the downing of "several trees"? Oh, Christ, no. Not several of them. Anything but several trees.
They got to live up to the hype. The weather channel chick was just bitching about what a mess the wind had made of her ponytail.
My favorite was the Weather Channel woman standing in front of the Staten Island Ferry terminal, talking about how New York Harbor had "poured into the streets of Manhattan." The next shot of her is on the boardwalk in ankle deep water, talking about how treacherous the area was while four dudes in Crocs took pictures behind her.
So I did a walk around the neighborhood, and outisde of the emptiness, it's no different from normal. Not even a single busted window. The only noticable thing that happened during the hurricane? I filled up my bathtub, like you're supposed to. I just checked in the bathroom...and the bathtub is empty. The stopped thing is still in bath position. All Irene did was magically drain my bathtub. Dangerous, I tell you.
I kind of miss Eric Fisher's coverage though. I liked his barely concealed contempt of everybody. None of today's reporters can hold a candle to that.
Hmm, what qualifies as "severe" diarrhea? I'm taking antibiotics and it says to contact my doc if it is severe.
If you have to ask if it's severe, it probably is. In other news, I found that dark beer and General Tso's don't mix well.
If brown water comes out your ass like a supersoaker and you have a painful sting-ring, I'd call that "severe".
I bet you are right. That is what I hate about most of the coverage, the glee in their voice if something bad happens. You can tell they have just been waiting in eager anticipation hoping the pier will be destroyed or a tree will fall. Oddly enough, most just kind of glossed over the deaths, just said it in passing, but OMG look at how hard it is for me to stand against this wind!
I effin hate you. Now I need some General Tso's, stat. Which means I either need to pick up some chicken, or I need to just get take out. Decisions, decisions...
Spoiler Well, it was green, mostly liquid, and I had a bout of it 3x in the past 24 hours. But I've also suffered from IBS in the past so diarrhea doesn't really faze me. Edit: Spoilered for those of you who don't want to read about my shits.
Yeah, 3x in 24 hours probably isn't considered severe. They say that for fear of colitis or C. Diff induced by your antibiotic. If that was the case, I think you would be a little bit sicker, so I wouldn't worry too much.
It's fucking ridiculous how the new oversensationalizes storms like this. Oh, fuck, it's raining really hard? Yes, I realize the southern states got hit sort of hard, but a category 2 is a pussy storm. I grew up in Boston and when Gloria and Bob rolled through way back when, it was way worse than this little bitch, Irene. People like Noland and BD are probably shaking their heads, knowing that what they've been through is exponentially worse than this. The worse part for me is that my fiancee is in Germany and can only see what they're showing on the news. I slept in today, and she blew up my phone asking if I was ok. Yes, I'm ok... I'm fucking sleeping though! In other news, super fluffy scrambled eggs with a spattering of Frank's Red Hot, a cup of strong coffee, and a Powerade. Breakfast of champions.
