I'm doing okay for the most part during the storm. My apartment is leaking a little, which is not a happy thing, but all I can do is manage it as best I can right now until it gets safe enough and stops raining long enough for someone to come in and take a look at it.

( oh god the work angst )

Okay, so maybe that was really boring. There have been brighter moments. I finished a first draft of my embarrassing gen fic, which I might end up cleaning up and posting later. Maybe after interview #2 this week.

I recently went through a bit of a typography/graphic design phase, after glancing through The League of Moveable Type. I also had some fun looking at old Penguin book covers, and I thought it would be a great fit for some XMFC fic, so I made a cover for and admit that the waters around you have grown and tried to imitate some of that style.

Yeah, we've got a hurricane coming through. I'm mildly worried, as my apartment is approximately 70% window, but I'll probably hide in my bedroom for most of it.

I am mostly prepared, though. I have lots of dry food and fruit that does not need to be refrigerated immediately as well as drinking water, flashlights and a fully charged Kindle. Tonight, I'll fill up the tub so I can flush the toilet if the power goes out, and I'll probably shut down my desktop so that I can move it away from the window, too. My plants will have to be moved as well.

As of right now, it's just raining, no wind. It should be fine until tomorrow morning, and we're 'only' getting a tropical storm and not a full-blown (ha!) hurricane. Flooding is unlikely near where I am, which is good, but the winds are going to be a concern.

Also, CNN is really just kind of obnoxious in its weather coverage. There's definitely an EVERYBODY PANIC vibe to it, which is really just unnecessary.

Oh, in happier news, I have a first draft! I love finishing first drafts right up until the time when I realize how much editing I have left to do. Maybe all this enforced indoor time will help? Yay?
