Houston, hopefully we don't have a problem

Well tomorrow I’m off to visit my sister for the first time in her new house in Houston. I’ll probably be jealous. Houses are a lot more affordable there than they are in California. Then again you’d have to put up with high heat and humidity. And the possibility of being covered by water should the country ever get ripped in half.

Okay probably not. I watched a really bad movie while my sweety was away, called 10.5 Apocolypse. What is it about the Sci Fi channel that attracts bad made-for-TV movies and me at the same time? The plot was so outlandishly contrived, and yet I watched all four hours of it. I must’ve been bored or felt some strange need to punish myself. Anyway, the whole silly premise is the continental drift suddenly goes in reverse, and by suddenly I mean like overnight and accelerating in speed. A gigantic dormant faultline appears in the midwest and starts to rip its way down to Texas. The U.S. is basically torn in half with the rift being filled in by the ocean. So yeah, Houston becomes Atlantis. The nation grieves, boohoo, the end. You know a lot of land owners are rejoicing over the new beachfront property they now own.

So anyway… um… my point… oh yeah, there wasn’t one. Sorry.  See you in a week.
