silly ol' bear...

-what are you supposed to be?
-i'm a little black rain cloud, of course.

needless to say, today we had a bath.

reasons i'm never going to zydeco again:

1. the assholes charge $1 for water
2. they evidently ganked the amps from spinal tap, and i still haven't gotten my hearing back
3. it's really just a samford fraternity house in disguise
4. did i mention the tinnitus?

i got off work early today because the library was on fire.


(ok, not really, just some mysterious smoke on the 2nd floor. )
the alarm went off, but i just assumed it was nothing serious, and made my way upstairs. they were replacing our dishwasher in the staff lounge, so i figured maybe the repairmen tripped something. au contraire. when i got outside, i heard there had been smoke billowing into the upstairs administrative offices (where, by the way, they had been conducting an interview). so yeah. about an hour later, a fireman escorted me downstairs so i could get my purse, keys, etc., while they continued to figure out what the hell was going on. i'm assuming the building will still be there tomorrow.

weird day.

(and the best part of that picture is that you can actually see the open garage from whence one of the two engines and two fire & rescue ambulances came, just to the left of the library, because oh yes, the fire department and police department are across the street from us.)
