stormy weather

At last count, I believe that we are experiencing the 13th storm front to hit the coast in 2 months. Wind alert. Snow alert. My favourite - rain alert. Anything not nailed down in our backyard I am sure is already a few doors away. In a sense, the weather is thrilling - we have had 6 power outtages over the course of these 13 odd storms and that is more than the last 5 years combined!

Makes me wish I was a meteorologist! Standing joke is that when the weather turns south around here I tune in to the weather channel, network, etc. Nothing like watching the weather watchers sent out in to the eyes of the storms and reporting on it! Geek streak reveals itself in full colours there!

On a completely different note, that cheesy summer flick - $nakes 0n a plane? It was good. Well worth the rental price if you like the almost horror flicks like Arachnophobia. Not going to win any awards, but worth the time and a few laughs especially since you can't say the flick takes itself that seriously - the first few kills, cheesy funny. Was about the right kind of movie combined with some superior take out tonight - nothing like a belly full of chicken jalfrezi and garlic naan and samosas topped off with a little strongbow for good measure.

Will tonight make it 7 times without power? It sure sounds like it from the whistles, creaks, groans, various plant life hitting the side of our house and littering the yard again!
