Pointless Ponderings

Have been running around and, in quiet moments, been very sad. All the news that is pouring out of New Orleans is terrible and tragic and it makes me angry. I feel as if I have no right to be so comfortable in my home, angsting over how gas prices will affect my budget this weekend.

( Ramblings on the hurricane. Cut for those who don't wanna hear about it anymore. )

So, I hemmed and hawed for most of today and decided that I would go ahead and drive to AnimeFEST. I looked into alternate transportation and I just don't have the time it would take to ride up in a train or bus. And an airline ticket is completely out of the question. My little Jeep doesn't have awesome mileage, but it's not too bad.

Once I get back, I am going to seriously look at alternate transportation for work. I live less than 3 miles from the office, for goodness sakes! The only problem is that the roads are HEAVILY trafficked in this short distance. I can guarantee that if I go on foot/bike, I will arrive to work on the hood of someone's car and no, I'm not joking. People are maniacs here and Melissa + bike is a comedy of pain and disaster waiting to happen.

So, yay for still going to the con! I leave early in the tomorrow, so I will be incommunicado until Monday night. Love to you all. Off to donate a little fundage to the Red Cross and then to bed.

Sweet repose be with in thine breast...
