Words... what do they all mean?

Agh, November, why aren't you here yet???

In the meantime: ROCK ON, GIANTS!!

So let me get this straight...

it's New Year's Eve
at the end of a decade
there's a full moon
and a _blue_ moon at that

2009 sure knows how to go out with a bang

((remind me again why I want to leave the house tonight?))

Oh, California... Why you gotta be such haters?

So now that my usual blah-blah-the-system-is-broken whining is dissipating, it's starting to sink in what actually _happened_ tonight. Holy shit, you guys! Oh my god.

Now: Come on, California, don't let me down! *crosses fingers*

The story. ... I didn't even know that sort of thing was possible...

Also, random side note: golden retrievers are awesome.

Dangit, why does southern California get to have all the fun? And that's not something you'll hear me say often.

As Mom and I were driving home from Oregon on Monday, we passed Mt. Shasta (which is gorgeous but I don't remember it from the trip up, so it was a pleasant surprise) and it got me thinking about volcanoes and earthquakes and all that jazz and when the next eruption/quake might happen. Creepy.

Also, only Californians would name a town Weed. :D

I thought Doctor Who was making it up, but bees really are disappearing. Huh.

... I was just about to comment on how hazy and bleh it was today and wonder if there were some fire somewhere. Yipes. Earthquakes in China, flooding in the midwest, fires here... Mother Nature better be done being a bitch by the time I take my baby onto an airplane to spend thirteen hours flying over the ocean.

I love being a Californian. That is all.

God, I can't imagine. That poor woman. This is what the death penalty is for, right here.

ETA: random trivial factoid - I used to work at that Kmart.
