It’s been raining all day so far and likely won’t stop for a while.  I’ve been waiting for this day for some time, just sittin’ on the couch, watching the rain fall.  It’s not quite as good as a full blow thunders storm, but it will do.  It makes me… Continue reading →

Well, given fun stuff to do for the last few nights, tonight was sure a letdown. I had two movies, one turned out to be a 10 minute long animation, the other was in Spanish (and crap). I think I’ll go fill up on gas then go to bed. Other… Continue reading →
