Well, had a heck of a storm yesterday. Hopefully some time this afternoon I'll upload the video that I took. We had driving rain, as well as thunder and lightening. Very, very frightening me! Galileo! Galileo! Galileo! Galileo! Figaro-oh-oh-oh-oh! We unplugged all important electronics (so the computers, TV and stereo system) and resorted to just sitting back and chilling.

Or in my case, I kept reading. I finished Anne of Green Gables yesterday afternoon and then read all of Anne of Avonlea before bed. This afternoon I'm going to read Anne of the Island (which is probably my favorite out of all the Anne books) and then probably start on Anne of Windy Poplars within the next couple of days. Since a handful of the Anne books are public domain, I got those off of Project Gutenberg to put on my nook so that I can take them anywhere. I do have the entire series in paperback, though, so I can read the entire series without waiting for the rest of them to become public domain. I've also decided that I want to watch the TV movies again, which I can thankfully get off of Netflix.

This does mean that I should probably clear off Farscape and watch those streaming (because they are streaming, and I really don't watch the bonus features on the DVDs), which will also mean that my husband and I can add actual MOVIES to the queue and watch those instead of getting the Farscape DVDs and trying to slog through them. Sheesh, I've had several episodes from season 2 (or is that season 3) sitting on my end table waiting to be watched and I just haven't had the urge. So. Memo self - this afternoon take the rest of Farscape off of the queue and start loading it up with other stuff - stuff that I'm actually going to watch.

At any rate, I do need to do my cleaning before I can do any reading, but that's a given, considering that I can and will spend a whole day reading if I feel so inclined. Tomorrow I'm going to work on TCLBA stuff (as well I should), and try to get as much as that done as I can before I call my mother so we can work out dues and whatnot. (Not that it's particularly hard, but I need to get used to the mail merge function in Word.)

A thunderstorm rolled in around midnight last night, far enough away the flashes weren't obvious and the thunder a distant rumble. No rain, which around here is VERY BAD, at least until about three AM. At that point the storm was overhead, and that was when there was a crack of thunder loud enough that it woke me and my husband out of a dead sleep and the flashes did a nice job of illuminating the room even though the blinds were drawn. Even better, though, was that it started raining. Always a good thing, especially when you wake up and look outside to see that there's smoke in the air.

This morning it decided to give us two, distinct downpours before ending around ten thirty. And of course, I woke up to the rumbles of thunder. So we had a thunderstorm that lasted nearly eight hours. And we're supposed to get more later this afternoon. Hopefully we'll also get more rain, because outside smells distinctly of damp smoke - something I relate to someone dumping a bucket of water on top of a campfire to douse it at night. Not exactly the least pleasant of smells, but I've smelled better post-precipitation. But yeah, more storms and I think they're supposed to last through tomorrow morning.

As you can all well imagine, most of the electronics will be off and unplugged when the storms start up again.

In other news, my adopted bro and his wife just had their second daughter this morning. His older sister will be rolling into town in a couple of hours and then we'll go visit the happy parents. Other than that, I'm thinking today will be pretty chill. Need some lunch and then maybe play a few video games or something.
