i got nothing to do today but smile
Saturday, August 27th, 2005 01:41 pmmy brother has a shiny new toy (which he insists on calling "a business tool"), and i know this because i'm typing on it right now, on his desk in atlanta, while he sorts his laundry. i'm in atlanta. it wasn't a last-minute decision so much as a decision i'd been waffling on about for months and months, and finally on tuesday I just said "fuck it," and wednesday morning my dad drove me to the airport. for $67.70 i got an x-fares stand-by ticket from airtran, and though i was secondarily screened, i still managed to make it to the gate where the 10:40 flight was just in the final throes of boarding. almost as easy as catching a bus. the pilot even got us in fifteen minutes early.

silentfire picked me up at the airport after some airport shenanigans, and then after a quick stop downtown to drop off a gift for my brother a., and to let them know hey! i'm in town! see you over the weekend! ri and i drove off to her rural georgian home forty minutes north. over the next three days we ate tacos, strawberries, mini-bagels, sushi, and pints of ice cream (not in that order) and lost ourselves in a stargate-induced haze—there is much, much more on that to come! however, for now i've left ri with my entire collection of sg:a fic that i've saved to my hard drive and burned to disk (23MB+ worth) and ventured forty minutes south to visit with the family for the next couple of days. ri and i will get together again for another couple of days after that, and then i'll go home sometime tuesday or wednesday.
they had a hurricane in south florida while i was gone; cousin m. lost power, my aunt and uncle lost power, my grandmother lost power, and my parents did not. they win at electricity! between broward and dade counties there are a million people without power, and all fpl are guaranteeing is that it's going to be back by *tuesday*. i don't know what the storm is busy doing now, but i know that at some point it turned *south*, from broward down through miami and into the keys, so who knows what it's about to do. maybe i'll stick around here until all threat has passed. hey, i'm flying stand-by—technically, i never have to go home. if only, if only.
eta: fervent wishes and crossed fingers to the city of new orleans and the entire gulf coast. o.O
