9:33PM...

(Jorma is on the phone with Jim, and is talking about the Cubs game, and it's delay with the bad weather)

JIM:  So did they get the players off the field when it started storming, or did they play through?
JORMA:  They stopped the game, Jim.

We had hail in my area for the first time in about six years around 12:30 today.

Looks like round two is on its way (same cells Gil is discussing).

Okay, TWC.  Tropical Storm <> sending Steph Abrams out to Galveston to cover it.

I am now officially SHOCKED they are not in Storm Alert yet.

You're watching The Weather Channel, your hurricane authority.  And now, here's your local on the 8s...All Trammell, all the time.

There clearly must be a good reason for Farish's "Winter" to be played in August.

Nice...the official Weather Channel Jeopardy! think cue!

This era could be even better than the Dave/Hilary era of EEWC.

No, but I see Comcast is now giving away a free Wii when subscribing to their Triple-Play deal (for new customers only).

Wow, that's retarded.

The only thing cool is the ad campaign:

Well, today is a sad day.

I exchanged my defective copy of Guitar Hero III for my Wii today, only to find out the second one is bad too.  After trying it on a neighbor's Wii, a few phone calls, my Wii is labeled as "sick" (not dead), and will be making the trip to Redmond for repairs.  I will be Wii-less for about two to three weeks.

I need TWC to nuclear-proliferate itself again or for a STAR 4000 to show up on TWC.  I'm going to need help to get through this.
