i actually thought today would be a nice day. boy was i wrong. it actually rained from last night until all the way into the late afternoon. it was raining so much that my roommate decided to stay home today instead of going to work. that kind of put a damper on my usual home alone hijinks, but it kept me honest, and i spent the day making revisions to my weblog (note the rounded corners if you're using a CSS3-complaint browser, hopefully more updates coming soon).

this wet and cold weather is the perfect excuse to drink a lot of hot beverages. the electric kettle makes it so convenient to brew a mug of tea in about a minute. i drank so much that i kept going to the bathroom, worried that my roommate might think there was something wrong with me.

i was concerned with all this recent rain that my parents' basement might've flooded again. i called to find out that the basement was fine. something about the trickles pace versus a sudden downpour.

i had my doubts that the trash collectors would take my broken sony monitor, but i was surprised to find it already gone when i looked out. next week's: a defective samsung tv!
