calliopes_pen: (thete1  Robin gets ambushed)
Some of you may remember me mentioning that around June of every year, the tornadoes and rotten weather starts at night. Well, it's started again.

Thunderstorms, lightning, hail, and a possible tornado all hit last night. We got 4 inches of rain in an hour. I don't know the grand total for the entire night yet, though.

There were extremely high winds, and most of the time the rain was going sideways.

It also knocked out the air conditioner. The repairman will try to get here, but everyone is having the same problem. It's all ready 76 degrees--inside and outside.

If it gets too hot, everyone is going to move over to my grandmother's former house. Where the air actually works.

ETA: I heard the final tally for rain. Four feet of rain fell last night.

The repairman has come and gone. He suddenly walked in the door and said he had fixed it. Which explained the strange smell as it suddenly came back on. He was in between repairs at that time--he had another one next, and we just happened to be in the direction he was going.

30 minutes later, the air conditioner died again. The motor is dead. And the repairman apparently won't come back until possibly tomorrow. If he isn't back today, I'll probably end up going over to my grandmother's old house to sleep tonight. (The grandmother who died, not the one in the nursing home.)

Meanwhile, some good news. I found three of my favorite Batman related stories that I had lost back when the computer died. I'm going to post the links to those three later.

OK, I'm going to go ahead and post the links now.

Little Boy Lost. It's a Smallville/Batman crossover. Teenage Bruce has run away from home, and ends up in Smallville. He's going by the name of Alfred, and Clark lets him stay at his house. (Not slash, so don't worry.) It's a great story.

In a Pickle. A very funny story involving the Justice League trying to get a pickle jar open. Nobody can do it--not even Superman. You learn why at the very end, and I refuse to spoil it for anyone. :D

Road Rage. The Justice League (The version that includes Blue Beetle, Guy Gardner, Ice, Fire, and Booster Gold, and Batman.) ends up going to the United Nations. At one point, while Batman is away Beetle and Booster accidentally steal the Batmobile. What happens after that, is truly hysterical. J'onn is the leader of the Justice League at this point.

ETA: These three stories are located at Fanfiction.net. Just in case it causes problems for anyone's computer.

I know I've probably posted this meme before, but I didn't get any answers to it last time.

1. Which character do you read and think that's the best character I've played? (not necessarily your favorite, but the best played)
2. Which character do you associate with me?
3. Which character do you think is most like me?
4. Which character do you think is LEAST like me?
5. Which character do you think I should try my hand at that you haven't seen me play?


ETA: Oh, and [profile] rp_journals contains a list of all my RP journals. As of now, anyway.

With every fan on in the house, and me drinking a lot of iced tea, this conversation occurred...

Dad: Why are you wearing a blanket?
Me: I'm actually cold!
Dad: You're cold? It's a miracle! Hallelujah!
Me: Right...

Yes, I'm extremely warm-natured. Everyone in my family is very surprised if I say I'm cold.

During this time, I also watched the last couple of episodes on Disk 3 of Firefly. One more DVD to go.

"And I can kill you with my brain." Cute. And is it just me, or did River seem saner after the medication? (I thought it was cute that she actually played with Kaylee.)

And how many men has Saffron/Brigid/Yolanda married, anyway?! Did they ever say?
