They think it might stop raining here on Wednesday.
I need an ark.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Breakfast: it's what's for dinner!
Oh, me, too! Grits and eggs.

You must live in my part of the world, Strega. What is normal monsoon season for the mid-atlantic, anyway? I'm permanently wired to my part of NM's seasons, which means June= hot and dry, July-August=monsoon. Here I just roll with the weather. And bitch when it gets to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay for your neighbor, sara!

Well, in the summer we usually have a refreshing evening thunderstorm every couple of days, and occasionally there's a doozy, but having it rain this hard for several days is freaky. I don't think I've ever heard of a mudslide on the Beltway before.

I'm so happy for her. She was expecting to get one of the smaller roles (servants or the play's equivalent of chorus/announcers.) Now I just have to get across to her that 9:30 is not a time when she can come over to practive without hurting her feelings. Maybe different rules at her house, but that's when I send the kiddies home. I need the decompression time.

As I said to my boss, what are we, California?! That was so weird. I honestly don't think of flash floods as a Md problem, either, but that's just my whacky head and has no bearing on reality. I grew up with flash floods due to rain 20 miles away, and they are reddish gullywashers in the dry desert, not green and sodden and shit.

What did/are people having for dinner?
I had lamb chops with roast potatoes and a glass of white wine. Tasty, despite being undercooked two steps from what I asked for, but I doubt I'll be trying this new place again given that I dropped over $30 on the meal and felt like I should still pick up a hamburger on the way home from the restaurant.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Matt! I watched Sgt Kabukiman, NYPD over the weekend. I'd been wondering where your tag came from.
I had lamb steaks last night. Yummers. There are more at home.

Crap. I forgot I was supposed to try again to refinance my student loans tonight, AND I got a thing in the mail that a credit company has decided that one of the fraudlent accounts is, in fact, my responsibility. All of which I just thought of just now, right when I'm supposed to be going to bed. Motherfucker.
And I don't know what I'm going to wear tomorrow.
