I believe the proper term for the amount of water coming out of the sky is FUCKTON

Thor's clearly a Vikings fan; he's (literally!) raining on the Saints parade.

Zeus is getting in on the action too; my Classical Epic professor read the line "presently the son of Kronos was minded to anger" and thunder cracks, right on cue.

Also, in the streets, there is water up to my knees. Is this really necessary, New Orleans? I wasn't even wearing rainboots. It's going to take several days to dry those shoes out!

Send some of that our way. A damn hurricane went over our heads and it didn't rain enough that day to get me out of watering the garden, and the water bill just came and Mom underbudgeted by a hundred dollars.

I would totally send it to you if I could. I was going to go to Whole Foods today! (Two miles there, two miles back, walking.) And now my walking shoes are soaked. *sad*

You need a bike! Also, I'm learning to spin. On a spindle. It's so neat.

I wonder if Hera's a Saints fan?

[bedlamsbard]

Oooh, spindle! I really want to try that sometime.

If Zeus is a Vikings fan, then definitely.

[sporky_rat]

Oh definitely. Zeus and Hera never really got along (more reason not to marry your siblings, I guess!) Take care today, avoid all the crazies out there.

I really do need to introduce you to pinesandmaples and rooibos, they'd love to teach more people about spinning. They live in the Tulane Grad Student Housing - Aliyah (rooibos) is in the French Dept. in Newcomb. She taught me.

Maybe it's time for me to pass on the spinning gift? Apparently if you've been gifted into the art of spinning, you gift someone else into the art of spinning. ;-)

One of my roommates today (Minnesota, I don't think you've met her) is wearing a Vikings jersey, because she is contrary like that. I haven't seen her since this morning, but I heard her voice, so I assume she's still alive...

I see blue sky! It appears to have stopped raining! (Um, about half an hour ago. *coughs*)

I am always up for meeting more people! Or spinning.

[sporky_rat]

Then I will see what I can do! You can always leave a note in Aliyah's pigeonhole in the French Dept.

Looks like Hera's still got more power than Zeus. Neener neener, Zeus!
