Rainierestness...ing...ish...wet

today is rainy and yuck. it would actually be less yuck if i had time to play in it, and enjoy being wet. it's more yuck when you have to go to class and walk in and out of the yuck and then be clean and neat and composed in between. some people choose these types of days to have flat tires. some people who do not know how to inflate a tire. but so what? i'm more than happy to share my quarters and tire-inflation expertise with my lady. i can understand why some people would be intimidated by this activity though. it's a very complicated matter, really, involving squeezing a trigger.

i have no work for this afternoon (which is why i'm here typing at 3:15 on a wed afternoon). so i am determined to finish all my homework for the rest of the week TONIGHT! then i can have carefree times of funness over the weekend. starting tomorrow.

my camera should be back in my possession tonight, so pictures will be here soon. hang in there folks!

gaucherie \goh-shuh-REE\, noun:1. A socially awkward or tactless act.2. Lack of tact; boorishness; awkwardness.

"If you find yourself sitting next to an obviously prosperous guest at a dinner party and your host introduces him (it will be a him) as a "successful barrister", you will be guilty of a gaucherie of the crassest kind if you exclaim: "How fascinating! If I promise not to call you Rumpole, will you tell me about your goriest murder trials?""-- Nick Cohen, "Don't leave justice to the judges", New Statesman, December 13, 1999
