Tropical Storm...

... It just started raining here. They're predicting winds up to 30 mph. I may be on crack, but that doesn't seem bad at all. I mean, I've surveyed on sand dunes with a nice 300 foot drop off to the Pacific in 30 mph winds.

Still, it's really weird to see rain, gray skies, and wind rustling the trees, and instead of thinking "mmm, hot chocolate and fireplace" thinking "do we have any more mango sorbet?"

The apartment's still a mess; I've been putting furniture together. Today I went by the Laurel Hill Cemetery, walked around, got hit on by a guy with a gold front tooth (who was very blunt, and after I said no asked if I had any sisters or girlfriends), looked at old memorials, and left before I got rained on.

Lesson learned today: all biochemical processes could be improved with glitter.

Especially meiosis, which is a really boring way to get genetic diversity. More glitter! Leather pants! Kohl eyeliner! Big stage show! Come on, we can do better than this.
