La Lluvia

It's funny how I'm more inclined to blog the day after I've finally posted something.

Today it RAINED!!! I walked to campus at 8:00 this morning, and it was cloudy but balmy. I wore a white shirt and green/tan striped capris... little did I know what nature had planned for later that afternoon...
It's a good thing I ran into my dad in the HFAC a few minutes before I was ready to leave work. He offered to buy me some ice cream at Sugar and Spice, and as we walked over, I commented that it had gotten pretty chilly. We walked around and talked while trying to finish our American-sized child scoops so we could look at the new MacBook Air laptop in the Bookstore (pretty cool, I might add). And then we saw Moose (a.k.a. Andrew Madsen) in the BYUSA office as we walked past, which was great because I had forgotten to visit him earlier like I had been planning.
We looked outside and it was pouring. Utah storms usually blow over in a couple of minutes, so we went downstairs to play some Air Hockey. I was winning at the beginning (he claimed we were neck and neck) but then somehow he pulled ahead. 7 to 5, beat by someone more than half a century old. Pitiful. :)
It was still pouring after our game, so we walked around some more. And we kept walking... and pretty soon we couldn't think of anything else to do except stare out the window and hope that the rain would at least die down. It didn't. Finally he offered to run out to the truck and come pick me up, since he had at least remembered to bring a jacket. What a gentleman.

And now, as I'm posting this, the rain's still coming down just as hard as it was when we were stranded at the WILK. But maybe it'll keep me inside long enough to edit some stuff for Intuition. And as a random end note, I think I'm addicted to parentheses and ellipses... :)
