...and I'm still awake.
*sigh*
Can't seem to clear my mind.
It doesn't help that I just put the news on to hear the latest of the almost-hurricane that will hit the area w/in the next 5-6 hours.
(("Almost-hurricane" sounds sooo much more ominous and romantic than "tropical storm," doesn't it?))
(((That would be the Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, early 19th century "romantic" definition)))
Let's pray that the storm doesn't cause as severe problems as the last major storm did.
No bueno!
How in the world are all these newscasters/weathermen awake, alert, and coherent at such an ungodly hour?!
I'm not particularly concerned about the storm; it's just one of many things on my mind.
Hmm . . . I changed my mind . . . while "almost-hurricane" does sound more ominous than "tropical storm," I think the latter may sound more romantic than the former . . .
Ok, now I'm hungry.
*sigh*

Actually, I would say that "almost hurricane" sounds refreshingly childlike and more concise. :D
Journalism is a crazy field. News broadcasters are a crazy breed. They feed on coffee, adrenaline, and potential fame.
You crazy awake in the middle of the night person. I would NEVER do a thing like that ;)
