Oh my gosh, how could I forget Thomas the Tank Engine?!
I'm having iced coffee while waiting for the garage guys to finish. There was an explosion last night in Texas, so that's on the news.

What happened?
A fire at a chemical plant caused a tank of ammonia (I think) to explode, leveling the town and hurting a bunch of people. There are still some firefighters and law enforcement missing.
Damn 
Those guys have dangerous jobs. I hope they´ll be ok..

It’s very bad. Sun should be coming up there soon. I’m sure the story is on the BBC site by now.
Sadly, as always, the majority of the casualties were the first-responders to the initial blaze, which then set off several chemicals at the Fertilizer plant, causing a massive explosion...
The blast measured 2.1 on the richter scale, and there was something about the energy released being comparable to a nuclear device...But that was something I'm not sure I caught right on the radio...
It's a mess at the scene anyways...

Waco is about 2 1/2 hours from me. I didn't even hear about it until I got home! It's so close, how do people not know?!

Numerous homes were flattened to the ground, the death toll is at 5 right now, but you know that will go much much higher. I would hate to be the wife of any of those firemen that were working that fire, or anyone with a relative in Waco. Bless all their hearts.
I was just told by The Boy how much better the school calculator is compared to the home calculator. Apparently the things the school one does instantly take, like, half a second on the home one. Outrageous!!
Kids these days.

I regularly get complaints about our internet service in the form of cost and performance breakdowns. I can’t even begin to understand what he’s going on about. When he started talking about throttling I had to look it up. This is the kid who forgets to brush his teeth. Remind me why we teach them to talk?

Cuz its cute to hear them say stuff like "How now Brown cow!" XD and caterpillar and zebra and other things incorrectly. I tried teaching Snuggles the woodchuck thing, and he just goes "No!!!" XD
This is why I don´t have kids 
Oh, and I understand you need a girl for that ..

And I only just discovered that I've spent the past hour at work with awful helmet hair. Just had to try and comb it with my fingers. Gah.
I need to get it trimmed soon, actually; it's got past my sweet spot of length that's my 'bloody sexy' style and is now approaching the 'wafro' end of the spectrum.

It's a good look, when it's the right length. Bit like a quiff, but not a quiff. Unfortunately the rest of my hair's now caught up to the hair on the front of my head (that bit seems to grow quickly and then stop and then all the rest of it catches up because my hair is odd like that) so it just looks big. Might see if I can get a trim later this evening.

Didn't know what a quiff was, so I looked it up. That is an attractive hairstyle.

Strangely enough, I´ve never found coffee to help me stay awake at all. No matter how late I drink it I have never any trouble sleeping. And that kick people talk about... Where´s that!? I´ve been conned, I want my money back!!

It's an urban legend started on some forums for a contest.

I have. Alright game, and pretty good atmosphere, too. Not as scary as Amnesia: The Dark Descent, though, not by a long that. Amnesia and Silent Hill 2 remain the pinnacle of horror games for me.

If you like creepy games with no real horror elements but a feel of helplessness (you have no weapons or any ability to fight back) then it might be fun. It don´t seem to be a big game but it could be fun nonetheless.
