SUDDENLY EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED!

Changed the look a bit around here. Just the top and some colors. The same old boring place, just like to swap it up a bit.

ALL YOU NEED IS BLOOD / BLOOD IS ALL YOU NEED

Was in and out of the apartment building most of this afternoon. Mostly doing laundry. On my final trip back into the building from getting my clothes out of the dryer, I notice the ground at the foot of the stairs inside the doors of our building (i had left the building no more than 20-30 minutes prior to coming back, and this was not there). Don't know what happened, but we're wondering if it has anything to do with the drunk guy who lives in our building who last night we watched fall down the exact flight of stairs you see in the pictures. (he didn't bleed. but it's funny to think about, since he fell in the same spot.) Who knows what happened, we don't. We can't figure out if someone fell, or what. As you can see, there's a smear on the wall which is at the top of the flight of stairs you see in the other pictures. (click on thumbnails for bigger images.)

Oh well, just another day.

STORMY WEATHER

One thing I really miss about the South are the incredible thunderstorms. Something soothing about the rain, the thunder/lightning, and being indoors. Today we have a bit of "stormy" weather, but still nothing even close to comparison to a real thunderstorm.








It's funny to see how people react to thunder up here, I guess because it's not all that common. After living here for over a year now, I've probably only knowingly heard thunder about 5-10 times. Which is weird.

But, I guess since I have to walk to get places instead of driving in a car, I'd be regretting a torrential downpour like I am now yearning. And then there are the times I remember such hard Southern thunderstorms that sucked. Like the time Ben and I drove from Memphis to St. Louis after work one Friday to see the White Stripes. Was supposed to be about a 4 hour drive, but took 7 because of the rain. Going 15mph on the interstate and not seeing ANYTHING in front of you. That was the last time I've been in Arkansas, and I don't have any problems with that.
