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.

It's a hoot, isn't it? I love the scene where his attempt at transformation goes wrong and he turns into a clown.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

What did/are people having for dinner?

Chile-mint burgers, green beans, an strawberries.

Yay for your neighbor, sarameg! Cool beans.

Some of it is stuff like Rock Creek Parkway, which goes right along the Potomac, so it floods instantly. And then since it's hilly and overdeveloped we've got all these suburban roads that turn into rivers because there's nowhere else for the water to go
