Lovely little party at Northampton beach Tuesday night: we got pizza from a local brick-oven restaurant and munched on that while sitting on the sea wall overlooking the beach. I went for a walk down by the water as the sun was setting, and I looked back to see little candleflames... On coming back, I'd found my dad had lit some jarred gardenia-scented candles and put them in a ring around a red velvet cake. It was so pretty, I almost didn't dare blow them out, but he relit them.

I've been experienceing some glitches with my debit/credit card. It seems the card got locked and the bank has no idea what happened. Seems as though someone with a similar account number may have called in to have their card locked when the card was misplaced, and the wrong card got locked. So consquently, I had an Amazon.com order bounce, as well as having my MxO account shut down for a day because they couldn't access the card, and I nearly had the cellphone go awry as well. I got the card unlocked, and it seems to be all right now. Wierd.

Forget zombie apocalypses...

We got a mass suicide and vampire apocalypse going on! M. Night Shayamlan and the wonks at White Wolf would be having a field day, except it's really happening here. I've been trying not to stare in horror as I watch people's sense of self-preservation break down, causing random crowds to throw themselves under buses and large trucks, or herd like lemmings onto bridges. The ones that manage to survive wish that they hadn't made the attempt and are only too willing to let themselves be turned by the vampires, which unfortunately swells their ranks. Of the humans who haven't lost their sense of self-preservation, the rest are being systematically turned by force, drained or taken into captivity to be used as kine.

I am so not looking forward to being my own version of "I Am Legend". I'm holed up on the second floor. I tried to warn Mom and Dad, but they insisted on going out to pick up a few groceries. More to come...
