Cucumber burps

The not-unpleasant side effect of my delicious lunch panini.

Cucumbers are the librarians of the vegetable world. Distinctive, but the very definition of mild.

How I waste time these days

Cartoons!

Tonight's Bible Story

Numbers 22:21-33
wherein God uses a donkey to make an ass of Balaam.

This is surreal:

28 Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?" 29 Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now." 30 The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?"
"No," he said.

ATTN: All midnight softball games have been cancelled due to apocalypse.

Cambridge got one of the best thunder & lightning storms this midwestern boy has ever seen tonight. I'm guessing we got a couple inches of rain in the space of 20 minutes. Woo.

On a side note, I walked home from the bar during the worst of it, and kept thinking about babies lost in the woods.

Scary movers

I promised my exiting roommate's wife that I'd be at their new place this morning at 10 so that she wouldn't have to there alone when the scary movers from Tennessee show up to deliver the balance of their furniture. All this is understandable except for one thing; I agreed to this yesterday, and possibly once before that without ever asking myself or her why Brandon can't just be there. He better have a dentist's appointment or something....

Update: He had nothing more going on than I did. And the movers were late getting there, so I went to work. Grr.

Lebensraum

One of my roommates got hitched a couple weeks ago, and he, the wife, and the cat have been at my apartment for the last week. They moved out yesterday, and I took advantage of the upheaval to lay claim to Brandon's big bedroom. I have moved 14 times since I matriculated to Purdue 7 years ago, and yesterday's room switch was without a doubt both the easiest and the most satisfying of the moves. My new bedroom has roughly twice the square footage, 4 times the windows and 1.5 times the closet space of the old one. Then, I get up this morning, and I don't have to wait in line for the shower. As I step out, new roommate Roger is in the kitchen emptying and re-loading the dishwasher. This is heretofore unknown behavior within the apartment. I was filled with housekeeping fervor, so I made coffee and emptied the garbage.
