So we're having a spot of weather

Hurricane Sandy is bearing down on us at last. It's not too bad here yet - lots of rain and wind, but it's only just getting to the point where I don't feel comfortable going out in it. This morning I ran out for a last minute emergency chocolate run to Trader Joe's. They said they'd be open until the power went out, and didn't seem terribly concerned. They were even restocking the frozen food section.

I'm technically supposed to be working, but my internet keeps going out and now I can't connect to my work computer. Oh well! Fanfic it is.

chelseafrew has come over to bunker down here. Today is her birthday and she really, really dislikes bad weather, so it's rather a bummer for her. I am planning to ply her with television until the power goes out and then chocolate after that.

Last night we went to see the movie-broadcast of the National Theatre's production of <a href="http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows/the-curious-incident-of-the-dog-in-the-night-time><i>The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time</i></a>. It was totally amazing, but the most unintentionally hilarious moment came with the introduction of a character, whose name was announced as Sandy. It was not a funny moment, but everyone in our theater cracked up. There's no escaping it! Hope everyone on this coast is staying safe, dry, and warm!

It's been pouring here for three days now and the wind has now shifted from South West to North East, that'd be Sandy's influence I think. The trees are already taking a beating and the wet ground plus the shift in wind direction is only going to make it worse. The government is warning us to be prepared for 72 hours without power. *clings to internet* So I'm downloading fic, just in case, and charging up all the laptop batteries.

I really wish we got the National Theatre productions in the cinema here. It's hard to justify going all the way to Toronto to see something. I'm glad you enjoyed along with the unintentional hilarity.

Stay safe, warm and dry hon.

TV and chocolate sounds like as good a birthday as one can have in these circumstances.

I'm glad that the hurricane is not hitting so bad there! I suppose many people didn't have to go to work?
I hope all of you keep safe!
