Hurricane?

Wowza. People are getting really worked up over this whole Hurricane Irene thing. Like run on the grocery store worked up.

Columbia has cancelled a whole bunch of orientation stuff, including convocation (??!!!?!).

I just spent about ten to fifteen minutes filling up with water everything I could find that was vaguely vessel-shaped, including the coffee pot and the food processor. What? I felt like being thorough.

I'm not really sure how seriously I want to take this. I mean, I'd better take it seriously because the MTA has shut down the transit system, which they've never done before, I think.

Weird.
