I'm considering online dating. What do you think? Would you do it?

Holy Crap!

Circuit City is trading at $0.42 a share!

According to Consumerist they are on the short list of retailers to file for bankruptcy. I wonder if this means I don't have to pay off my credit card from them......yeah I know I still do. Dammit.

the island is tore up.

theres no better way to describe it. ive got pics of it over at www.flickr.com/photos/zabethanne if you are interested in seeing what im able to get on here. its a mess.

still no electricity at my apt, but thanks to james i have gas. i have a tent. i have a wall of drinking water and its okay.

but i think its going to be years before the island returns to what people would consider normal. every day though, you see people rebuilding. you see people working at cleaning up and tons and tons of utility trucks running around. they are moving as fast as they can.

all the trees are dead....grass, bushes...everything.

but the gulf is gorgeous...its got this feel along the seawall that feels almost like its saying, "well i made my point, ill be good now...for a while...."

im using a computer on the other side of the island. i dont have access to one regularly and it will be a long time before im back online. i have limited phone capabilities. still...ive never seen anything like this. its amazing.

A follow up to this post a few weeks ago:

I went out for a drive earlier and when I came home and got out of my car I noticed the neighbor and his wife unloading the back of his car with groceries and luggage. Both were wearing rings. So yeah, he's married. Ass.

I have been banished from work for three days by my Doctor. It turns out I have a nice infection going on in me and I have to take Cipro to kill it. I have been ordered to spend the next three days in bed and rest. I AM BORED OUT OF MY MIND!
I had plans to indulge in a nice Halloween haunt this weekend in Pasadena that I now can't go to and my Doctor has ordered that I stay off caffeine. WHAT? No coffee??? I'm in Hell.

Just a thought: someone needs to invent a patch for caffeine addicts.

Window shopping can be either extremely fun, or extremely depressing.

Window shopping online can be a lot more comfortable...less people, less strollers, you can sit on your ass...

But there is something to be said for actual window shopping. You know, like the food court.

Because Amazon doesn't exactly have everything I want to buy at the moment available for me to add it to my real wish list, these are just some of the things that have me cursing my bank account at the moment.

1) The Vote Princess Leia shirt that Tina Fey wore on the Saturday Night Live season premier.

2) Coach's Lizza Shoe (and hawt pink and black striped tights that I can't find anywhere)

4) An Annual Oyster Travel Card - so I can actually afford to get out of the house, and go to press events and business meetings.

5) Jon Stewart's America and Stephen Colbert's I Am America

My thoughts today?
