Jul. 18th, 2010 10:23 pmI had the local news on while I was cooking dinner this evening (my first ever London Broil - I now officially have Big Meat on my list of things I can make without fucking up) and the newscaster was talking about how the metro area hasn't had any rain in fifteen days, and how weird that is for mid-July, which should be monsoon season, and how everyone was starting to freak out about OMG the city is going to burst into flames! and whether we'd have to go on water rationing and camping lock-down soon if the rain didn't stop evaporating before it hit the ground.
Two hours later, it was thunderstorming so hard I was worried it was going to knock the power out like it did last week. Now we get to stop fretting about the drought (for a few days at least) and start fretting about flash floods. Late July and August: not the best time to be living in a ground-floor apartment. And I speak from experience on that, oh yes.
I would have been pretty peeved if the power did get knocked out again. I rediscovered my DDO account this week, and restarted the whole game with a character type that actually suits my gaming style (ie hit it with your sword until it stops trying to kill you). I've got a lot of missions planned for tonight! And a lot of cheesy sci-fi B-television to watch in the background while I play.
