Rainbow Blackout

The open to the morning show sucks monkey balls. Larry and Miriam wanted me to fix what we had before we go shoot something brand new. Once I finished the project, Larry asked me what I thought of it and I said it's "polished crap". Hey, you give me crap to work with and I can make it nice and shiny but it's still just a piece of crap.

Larry thought my work was pretty swell and called it "a good salvage job". Miriam, meanwhile, thinks I'm the coolest guy ever.

Athena, one of the new sales reps saw me today and said, "I like your belt and your shoes."

I stopped and said thanks.

"I like a man who's color-coordinated," she said.

I don't trust sales people, especially pretty ones who only want to butter me up so I don't make them bad product. Still, I took it in stride.

"Considering all the graphics I make, I kinda have to be color-coordinated," I replied. I probably could have thought of something more suave to say, but I didn't feel like thinking at that moment for some silly reason.

It rained ferociously over McAllen today. The wind had eventually managed to push over some power lines somewhere and shut down an entire section of the city including the television station where I work. The emergency lighting that illuminated the hallways did a DOOM job throughout the office. Made me want to grab a shotgun and go hunt some hellspawn. But anyway...

The rain had brought a pretty rainbow over Calvary. Too bad everyone else was inside and couldn't enjoy it. At least I took a picture of it.

I met Mirna, the woman who runs the bible study class my FAITH partner, Ana, invited me to. She kept looking at me with fondness. It must be love. She gave me some books and videotapes to watch and get caught up with. Just what I need: more homework. Didn't I graduate from school so I wouldn't have to do homework anymore? Oh well. At least I'm surrounded by girls.
