You're on Notice

Get your own: http://www.shipbrook.com/onnotice/

So I see on NOAA's weather website Kodiak has turned orange. This means it is a blizzard watch, Friday a.m. to Friday evening. So to honor the great Steven Colbert, (and because I'm sick as fu** of f***ing snow), SNOW... You're on Notice. Also on notice... anything to do with snow, blizzards, snow removal. You get it.

ALSO ON NOTICE:

I try and flip channels when commercials come on, and have perfected the skill of multiple channel viewing, however, every time I switch the station lately, I'm on the same Yaz commercial, birth control that helps alleviate Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. I am tired of thinking of women completely freaking out with hormonal imbalances, it is bringing up repressed memories of one of my friends mothers who had the power to desimate you in one bark. I still step lightly.

Adam Lambert annoys me. But then I'm not really a fan of much musical theater outside of Rocky Horror or Little Shop. He is a good singer if you like the whole screaming high pitched Aerosmith crap... but there is something slightly black-polished-nails-on-a-chalkboard about it. I've had to forceably swipe the remote a few times to escape the AI torture.

Headline News, or any of the news channels for that matter, for media hyping the President's security and showing on the cool map thingy all the locations where he would be, and when he was arriving there. Is it me, or is that poor security handling? It is no different when they are having Olympics or something and saying how secure it is, and how no terrorists can get in to deploy a bomb. Just draw a red X and say hey terrorist, if you haven't thought of it before we mentioned it... attack here.

So those are my on notices for the day. I left the Bears there for Steven, they don't really bother me so much.... except for the fact we still don't have any dumpsters in our neighborhood.

Equinoxially challenged.

Been stuck in the black hole between seasons here, where although the world seems to keep rotating, nothing personally inspirational or locally provocative seems to clear the filter of the bubble. I'm probably suffering for the lack of experiencing nature, breaking one of Deepak Chopra's Seven Laws of Spiritual Success, so it is a good thing that we should be seeing some Kodiak t-shirt weather here soon.

Did catch an interesting story from KMXT earlier, about the ghost at the Baranov museum. It's a bit light on anecdotal evidence, but I'm certain there are plenty more tales of people being spooked. Really old buildings seem to invoke the paranormal intution in people, probably more on the projecting side of things, but it makes for some great entertainment.

I spent some time in an old house on the other side of the Russian Orthodox church, which has long since been torn down and replaced. There was something about the old creaky building next to a graveyard with thick lead paint and windows that rattled with the breeze because it faced the channel that kept me on high alert. Now that I think about it, it was probably more carbon monoxide poisoning.

Should get Paranormal State to bring out their thermal scanners and EMF meters and scan some local places. I can't think of any others besides the old D house and the big bunker right now. But then that might just call the paranormal's attention to us. Our Alutiiq ancestors were fairly superstitious and believed whistling conjured the spirit world, and someone once told me a story of swarms of black flies coming out of nowhere at a dig... so I guess we'd better be careful what we look for.
