This is my last hurricane post - I promise!

I promise this is my last post about Hurricane Sandy.  Anyways, last night I lost power and just got it back on about an hour ago.  This morning I went out around where I live and took some photos of what happened in my town - here's some of the best ones I snapped.


One of the streetsigns near my house - right next to it was a broken powerline


The water level was about five feet higher than usual


A branch that attached itself to a string of dingies near the coast 


A piece of the boardwalk that washed up into the sidewalk - a block away from the water

Anyways, that's all that happened here, thank goodness it was not as bad as what happened in places like New York and New Jersey.  How has the hurricane effected you?  Or, has it effected you at all?  Let me know!

Hey Hey Hurricane!

Well, as expected I ended up spending my entire day huddled up on my couch, cup of tea in hand, computer on lap, and The Goonies playing on my television.  It was just what I needed.  The latest news says that about 50,000 are without power right now, and I'm one of the lucky ones who has maintained power the entire day!  So I was able to stay inside my house (which started shaking due to the force of the winds and the fact that my house is only a few hundred feet from the water) and hang around in a cardigan and some sweatpants that are about two sizes too big.

I also have no shame to say that I re-watched Starkid's A Very Potter Musical on Youtube.  If you are a Harry Potter fan (and I hope you are) then you should definitely check this out.  It is a bit of a commitment since it's at least two hours long (more likely it's three or so) but it's completely worth the time.  It's a fan-written musical that basically sums up a lot of what occurred during the Harry Potter series while also making jokes that can make even a non-Potterhead laugh.  So, you can check that out here.

Otherwise, nothing much has been going on in my world.  School's canceled of course, so tomorrow I'm going to finally post my Halloween costume.  I'm sure you're all dying of anticipation! (That was sarcasm - I thought to point that out due to the fact that sarcasm does not translate well over the internet.)  And that's about it!  I wish I could post some photos of what it looks like near where I live, but it's slightly dangerous to go outside since there's a lot of wires that have gone down and trees that are in the middle of the road.  So that's all, talk to you all tomorrow!

Did you hear there's a hurricane on the way?

Well, here's my poor attempt at an outfit post for today.  Hopefully you've heard by now that there's a storm coming towards the east coast (I believe I even mentioned it in my last post.)  So, with it about to hit shore, the rain started coming - just as I went down the street to take some outfit photos!  Doubt that I'll be able to post much in the next few days, especially if there will be power outages in the area.

So this is all I've got for ya now!  A little outfit I wore today to a rehearsal.  Sorry for lack of pictures, these were the only two where the camera lens wasn't blurry due to rain.




The last photo I took on the way home from rehearsal.  If you can't see, this guy has hung up some signs that say "Honk for Sandy" and "Bring it on, Sandy!"  I thought it was so great, I had to take a picture.
