Goodnight Irene

I wish I was back in Hawaii about now. I am stuck on the east coast getting ready for graduate ****s next week. Yes, that's right, I am going for a master's degree in computer science and I still love to play games. It is a great stress reliever and I truly enjoy the thrill of playing a good game.

Hurricane Irene is about to hit and I got all my essentials: flashlight, food, water, beer, snacks, games, and girlfriend. I have my PSP full charged just in case power goes out. If the power does go out I'll have to monitor my game playing time on the PSP. I have APC battery back- up, hopefully that will get me through a blackout if that happens. There is a stray cat I feed from time to time outside; I hope it can find shelter from the storm. Yesterday, it was crying to me like it know a storm is coming, just like the earlier in the week before the earth-quake hit. It's funny how animals can sense these things before it happens and they don't need the seismic graphs, news, or weather reports.

I'll be very happy when this episode has passed on in history and we can move on to the next event (school). I hope everyone in the path of the storm seek shelter if they have to and get all the supplies you need especially water. You'll need a minimum of 5 days water supply, and fresh batteries for you flashlight. So batten down the hatches mates there is a storm brewing.
