Secondly (maybe)

On a lighter note...
Three things.

Firstly (unless you're really crazy and into reading individual posts from the bottom up): It shows just how desperate I am for any kind of recreational physical activity that I actually played frisbee last night (in the dark with a chemlight(glowstick) taped to the bottom. pretty cool, actually.)

Secondly (without a doubt. (well... I guess if you were really crazy and just refused to read things in any order at all... OK, enough)): Another crazy thunderstorm today. The Spic and I had to go about 1/4 mile down the road to pick up some engine oil.

2:05 pm (as we get into his car)
Spic: "Uh oh..." [pointing at a dark mass of clouds off in the distance]
Me: "Yeah, that doesn't look like it will be nice. I hope it holds off until we're done for the day."

2:09 pm (waiting for someone to come open the shed and give us our oil)
Spic: "I don't think it's going to wait until we get off."
Me: [looks apprehensively at the clouds of doom, now much closer]

2:16 pm (still waiting. the sky is apparently practicing for the apocalypse. half is already filled with black clouds that rush visibly towards us. a strong wind brings a chill and the taste of rain. the blue areas that still remain seem to be fleeing to the east.)

2:18 pm (guy shows up to let us into the shed. the sky is black.)
Me: "Yeah, we aren't even going to make our first trip without getting soaked."

2:21 pm (we've got the oil out of the shed but still have to move the seven five-gallon drums to Spic's car a couple hundred meters away. a light rain begins to fall)

2:21.30 pm (a heavy rain begins to fall)

2:22 pm (a heavier rain begins to fall)

2:25 pm (we get the last of the oil into the Spic's trunk, soaked to the skin)

Thirdly: Four Rooms. I cannot in good conscience (on several levels) recommend this movie. However, if you happen to come across a copy, I do recommend One Room.
The idea behind the movie is pretty creative: One main character (the bellhop) four parts to the movie (his experiences in four different rooms) four different directors and supporting casts. Good idea, but part one was awful. Two and three, meh. Part four is directed by Quentin Tarantino and also features him as one of the major actors. It, unsurprisingly, is awesome (if you're into Tarantino stuff.) So yeah, see that part.
