I thought after the trauma of this morning's fire, I should post some happier pics. I spent the day at Mom & Dad's watching football, eating good food and hanging out with family. It was nice.
Let the happy goldfinch butts welcome you in!

( clicky for the wonderfully mundane )
You know, I saw fire images on TV several times today and each time they gave me a shudder and my heart would race. I'm really sick of fires. It was so fucking scary this morning being woken up with the noise and peeping through my blinds and seeing a wall of fire right outside the window. I really need to go away from this obnoxious and really dangerous arsonist. Quit picking on our alley!

Fire pictures
Jan. 24th, 2010 09:36 amThe first 3 pictures are with my good camera, but then the batteries died and I had to revert to my phone.
Here is what I saw when I first got out there:

Another goddamned fire.
Jan. 24th, 2010 05:16 amMy power is out so I have to post by phone. 30 minutes ago I snapped awake at yelling and crackling noises and my room was glowing orange. I looked out the blinds and the carport of Ted Bundy Jr's house was totally engulfed in flame. I called 911 and ran outside. The fire was feet from my bedroom roof. I got some great pictures but the flames burned the power cable above it so we lost all power. Fire is out now so I have to wait for dawn to get my laundry and go to Mom and Dad's at sunrise. Keep you posted!
I swear this is the last post tonight...
Jan. 2nd, 2010 09:38 pmI was perusing my books in search of a book to read, and saw The Onion Field by Joseph Wambaugh, which I bought about 20 years ago and never got past the first 20 pages or so, but so many of my favorite authors credit Wambaugh with their careers, so I felt I should give it another chance.
And I found a very odd bookmark.

from the music choices, I think this was probably written when I was about 16 or 17. Apparently it was very important that I have at least 4 100 minute tapes, hahahaha.
Also, something is currently thumping across my roof, making the cats insane. I have a feeling it's a raccoon. Sounds heavier than a cat.

Mmmmm...Pad Thai.
Aug. 24th, 2009 12:19 pmI bought this little frozen Pad Thai meal from Fresh & Easy and I'm eating it right now for lunch. It's really good. I love all the Fresh & Easy food. I'm so excited for its presence in Lompoc.
So, updates:
1) Apparently there is a serial arsonist in Lompoc:

I e-mailed this story to Mom & Dad last night and Dad says he's seen a few of the burned out vehicles while he and Mom are out serving. No wonder the fire sergeant wasn't too worried about the perpetrator coming back - the device was probably a signature of sorts and apparently he(they) pick targets at random. So at least that's good.
2) First night of school! I'm 1L! Tonight is Criminal Law. Woohoo! I'm so excited.
Ok...time to finish my lunch because I have to brief at least one Torts case at lunch today.
