BOREed: Evening Report from The Woodlands
By Matt Hardigree
You'll have to forgive me if I'm a little emo, but my girlfriend was going to come to The Woodlands but has decided to go to Austin instead with her folks (well, it wasn't much her decision). So, we're now hurricane-crossed lovers in the spirit of Shakespeare and, franky, I want to die. Not to mention, cell phone service is severly limited, making it very hard for me to holla at my girl. If that "Can you hear me now" guy was around, I'd probably steal his phone or pop him in the face.
So, now I can't eat and I keep bumping my head on things. Thank god we've got ice because I'm going to be swollen. For the moment, I'm hoping when she gets to Austin we can communicate the old fashion way - over iChat. Holy crap, this is turning into a livejournal quicker than I expected. I'm like Murrow reporting from the blitz, except with a broken heart and The West Wing on DVD.
Status Report from Camp Rita -
Things we've got:
1. Snickers for calories, the only things I can keep down.
2. Bagging the ice from ice maker.
3. Water for approximately 3 days (at 1.5 gallons per person per day). Going to hunt for more tomorrow.
4. Enough tuna, peanut butter, canned ravioli and assorted other canned goods to last approximately one week.
5. DVDS: The West Wing Season Two, Sports Night the Complete Series, Keen Eddie and some...legal downloads of other stuff.
Things to do:
1. Retrieve more water.
2. Get a car charger for the cell phone (duh!).
3. Complete boarding up of house.
4. Get in touch with girlfriend.
5. Breathe.
So that's it for now, when I start weeping and writing about how I've reached the depth of despair and my despair is greater than any others I imagine they'll just change my password. I'm going to be looking for ways to blame this on Tom Delay and then I'll get back with you later tonight.
**Update** 12:20 AM CDT ** If anyone has any traffic information for I-10 out of town, let me know. I'm talking to someone who isn't moving very fast. I'm going to get some sleep and then start BOaRding windows and checking stocks. I'll let you know how it is.

We've got some family that were leaving on I-10 from Houston to Austin, and said it took 2 hours to get from the east side to Katy. My girlfriend, who left Rice around 8:00, is supposed to be getting here in about 45 minutes. Took her 3 1/2 hours to get from 610/290 to Hempstead.
Matt, if you want to start an episode by episode breakdown of Sports Night, I'm game. I'm gonna get rained out of the ACL Fest, and I'll be looking for something to do...and I've only seen that whole series 8 times through. Need some fresh angles and perspectives.
