things I’m thankful for
the rain
a) I love when it rains.
b) This morning, as I was trying to figure out how I could manage to get to the bus stop without getting soaked, I remembered that I have a sweet Cape Times umbrella. So I put that bad boy to use all day long.
c) Speaking of, the precip also reminded me of The Song of summer '07, Rihanna's "Umbrella."
Also speaking of...
Rihanna Smooth Jazz Tribute
I just discovered this soon-to-be-released album while tooling around on Amazon.com, and expect — nay, demand — that all of these tracks'll soon be played in heavy rotation on KYOT (if they aren't already).
the Orbit bus
A few weeks ago, Judith said something offhand about catching the Orbit bus to campus and I remember reacting rather incredulously, saying something along the lines of, "What? You take the Orbit to campus?"
See, I had a bad experience trying to take the Orbit either last fall or early this semester. But apparently, I got on the bus going the wrong way — hence the long-ass, incredibly circuitous ride home.
But armed with the info from Judith on the correct side of the street to catch the bus, it occurred to me this morning to take the Orbit, which runs every 15 minutes, instead of walking even farther to take a bus that comes only every half-hour.
no State Press until next week
Vacations are good for one's sanity. Enough said.
fun with weather maps
Most Wednesdays, I drop in on my meteorology lab only long enough to get the assignment and a rough idea of how to do it. Then I bolt back to the newsroom and leave the lab work to be done on Friday afternoon since it's not due until Friday at 5 p.m.
But with no paper to put together this afternoon, I actually stuck around in lab and did the work in class... and while working on decoding weather-map symbols and such, I got to chat for a while with Damien, a State Press photog who's in the class as well.
Brian – you look ultra fit. have you been working out?
