Lotsa Thunder today
Jun. 1st, 2010 09:55 pmSo the weather today was a bit wild. By which I mean the thunder last night kept me up for a while since just as I was falling asleep it would start again, and since it sounded like it was going on right above us it was loud.
Later when I was at work we could actually see the storm front coming in from Cambridge and the lightning strikes. Yikes. At one point there was thunder right next to the building that caused nearly everybody to hit the floor since it honestly sounded like a bomb going off. It was impressive.
Also, I now have to read a book about how a bunch of upper class white football jocks in New Jersey raped a developmentally disabled girl and how basically the entire community was complicit in the attempt to cover it up. I'm uncomfortably reminded of the Phoebe Prince story that happened not long ago and it fills me with the same incoherent rage.
*sigh* One downside to my chosen major is that our reading material isn't exactly light reading and tends to punch you in the gut emotionally. We actually have to read it twice, first just to get the story and second to analyze it. On top of that I'm reading a John LeCarre novel so at some point I'll probably need to switch to something brainless at some point before my head explodes.
