We just got an official university message about flooded parking on the east side of campus. Meanwhile the two major all-campus events that were supposed to happen have been cancelled. I wonder if they're really going to have Cornfest this year.
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We had dinner at the Zukey Lake Tavern [link] which sits right on Zukey Lake. Watching the storm come across the lake from Chicago was terrifying and thrilling. SHEETS of rain, magnificent lightning, and the click click click of hail.
It was Craxy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I left my windows open yesterday. Luckily, not too much water got in so my Mac Mini didn't drown. Also, which is better: Corn Fest or Bean Fest?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You can watch the flooding in real time here.

Also, August has been unexpectedly dry here, so if you want to spread it around a little, that would be good, too.
I'm putting off making a call to the Unemployment Office to straighten out some claim stuff because my cat is sleeping on the desk. This doesn't sound like a very valid reason, right? He looks soooo comfortable.....
