I thought I had escaped the rain....

.... I was wrong

Jesus, Mary and Joseph. It's like it's following me, I swear. Luckily, I live on the high ground (again), so there's no flooding going on in my apartment.

Speaking of my apartment, it's getting a little more full now, finally. After over a month, the first of my shipped goods have arrived. Yey! I can't even tell you how nice it is to have STUFF again. Unpacking all the boxes sort of feels like Christmas come early. "Oooh! A rice cooker! Ooooh! A set of dishes! Yey!!!!"

I'm a huge safety Nazi. I refuse to drive if someone in my car isn't wearing a seatbelt. I'm the dork with the bike helmet on at all times, even for a short trip to the store. It makes me furious to see motorcycle riders without the proper gear on.

So you can imagine my reaction to this little number: Big Ben in serious condition after motorcycle accident

Great. You know, if your gadzillion dollar salary per year were based almost solely on your physical capabilities, you think you'd take basic safety measures for God's sake.
