It might be a while until we start seeing picture of what happened in the worst areas. People I know with families there, have been unable to get through to them. A lot of the people getting the worst of it, were already homeless after and earthquake a few weeks ago. This is really a sad time for those in the Central Philippines.

I am once again...on a thursday night......filling out forms for Tiff's thuggy friends......

ah....#######........


man....I don't think Tiff fully understands what it is that I do......and how precious my time is.......

I could be yappin away on VJ. Instead of going out to buy color ink, so I can fill out and print ####### for her buddies........


dude, this typhoon was named after Yan Yan......

Around three in the morning my dog started bugging me. Jumping up to and off of the bed repeatedly. I finally roused myself well enough to scold her, and went back to sleep. Then my dog got the foster dog to barking in the other room, again I roused myself and scolded them both and went back to sleep. I noticed on the clock five minutes had passed since the early wake up, and go back to sleep. Five minutes later my dog was crowding and pushing me around on the bed, the foster dog was barking up a storm again. I finally give up and go "what!", and my dog leads me to the kitchen, her water bowl was empty. For this my dog wakes me up in the middle of the night? So I'm filling the water bowl, the foster dog is going nuts in his kennel, whining to go outside. So I throw on some clothes, take both the dogs out into the freezing cold to get their business done. Return into the house, upon which the dogs rush to go lay down and sleep while I'm wide wake almost two hours before my alarm is set go off. Maybe I need to think about getting a cat instead?

I read up on it a bit. The wind and rain is crazy. 235 mph gusts......fiercest storm ever recorded.

Like you said, there were a lotta peeps living in tents already, from the earthquake.
