All the news sites are unreachable, the cell phone networks are jammed. This is scary and surreal. This makes Oklahoma City look like a fender bender. Xkot and friends are talking about this unbelievable carnage on his message board.

Get To Know Me! Part Deux
If those last pics of me and my pad left you wanting more – well, then you need some professional help. But until your next appointment, you can look at this little gallery I put together today depicting my condo building and environs. The sign above is at the edge of Orton Park, which is the next block over from my house. I just cadged the gallery together using Photoshop Elements, and I haven’t added comments on the pics yet. But I think you get the general idea. It’s a nice place to live.
I must admit I felt a white-hot spear of envy go straight to my heart when Miguel announced that he had been named a Blogger Blog of Note. I mean, where’s my fame? Where’s my online adulation? Where’s my A-list weblog traffic and hundreds of e-mails saying how great I am and begging for links? *sniff* So imagine my surprise when I learned…..oh now I’ve already said too much.
Yesterday I bought a box of Boo Berry cereal at Target. I had two bowls. It was quite nostalgic – I felt like a little kid. Now if I could just find a box of King Vitamin, my life would be complete.
Apparently those scary super-geniuses Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have finally revealed their true agenda: subvert the prevailing Christian ideology in America, replacing it with unsavory Eastern mysticism. I guess we should have known that someday, those adorable moppets would rip off their false, smiling faces to reveal the leering devils beneath. Better sooner than later, if you ask me.

Dear Adam,
We must speak with you. I don?t usually take the time out to write a personal note, Adam, but your name was provided by someone you had recently spoken to. We believe your vibrations to be so strong that I?ve endorsed a free Tarot reading with one of our elite psychics! It?s urgent, however, that you call immediately?I can only reserve this number for a limited time. Call toll-free 1-800-256-0408, now!
She’s persistent, I’ll give her that. But I think I have a pretty good idea how my life is going without her help. And it’s going well. 🙂 (She told me not to reveal this number to anyone else. But I figure she wouldn’t mind if you called it. Tell her Adam sent you.)
You want funny? You got it.
Did you know they have internet kiosks in some Illinois highway oasis McDonald’s restaurants? I didn’t either, until I stumbled on them on the way to the family reunion last weekend. $1 for 10 minutes, which I actually think is a pretty good deal. Since it only took me 5 minutes to check my email, I just left ‘words mean things’ on the kiosk screen, hoping some random travelers would stop and read it.
I need validation, clearly.
My entry in Arthur’s first photo treasure hunt assignment. I think I did OK considering how hard it is to find squirt guns after Labor Day. You can also see a higher resolution version.(600 x 600, 79K)
Bony supermodel Kate Moss had an accident Thursday in her chauffeur-driven Range Rover on the way to a fashion shoot. Her looks are unharmed. The world breathes a sigh of relief.
