T-storms! Yay!

kjpepperWelcome to the first thunderstorm of the season. As always in Northampton, this one rolled up at about 4 pm on a friday, the time I was planning to leave the office . . . I love t-storms mind you, but it's an entirely different thing to have to be out in one! It certainly made biking home interesting, as by the time I got to our house I was soaking wet and pretty damn near blind due to the water streaming down both sides of my glasses. Good thing the one huge pot hole in our street is pretty hard to miss, even under those conditions.
Other than getting drenched, a good day! I got stuff done and work and the day was topped perfectly when my boss brought in a box full of several different types of Girl Scout cookies. The evil assimilationist BS that is G.S. of A. is almost mitigated by Samoas. Almost. *munch*
This weekend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sundart and I are off to Diane's for a weekend of anime (I believe the chosen features will be Escaflowne (sundart's never seen it) and possibly Fruits Basket, if we have the time. In the meantime, I will hopefully also have a chance to finally braid up my hair with appropriately colorful yarn, work a little on that story idea I've mentioned, and if there's time left over, work on my tattoo design. Yep, I finally am a step closer to actually getting one. What I want to do is use the japanese character for "bad/wicked/evil" surrounded by some sort of mandala like design. It's ostensibly some complicated comment on the dominant society's labels for the things I believe in, but also, as far as kanji go, aku is a pretty cool character. :) and of course, it helps that it's featured in two of my favorite cartoons. It's final destination will be my lower back. I know that's supposedly the worst place to get a tattoo pain-wise, but that's where it wants to be.
beatgoddess notes: (Main problem: it feels like they are tattooing up your asscrack at some points of the back, which is not a "good" feeling, if feelings have values.)
Anyway. if I'm to leave in a timely fashion, I ought to go get dressed again. I don't think it's legal to be driven to CT wearing only underwear, socks and a towel.
