For a second there, I thought you were talking about the moon. A few days ago, it appeared as a massive yellow orb in the sky. I wish I had a decent camera to show how giant it was, but you could see craters and all in a deathly yellow.

Not my photo, but it looked something like this.

Gesture of goodwill, my ass! I think we got ripped off :laughing:

We had so much rain yesterday evening and overnight, that major roads were completely flooded in this whole area. Like the Don Valley Parkway which is a major highway in the city, it looked like this during the morning rush hour, and for most of the day:

And that was before the water levels peaked. The Don River is on the left, and was moving super fast today. All that flood water is overflow from the river, and didn't help that it's a valley. That road is one of the main ways to get to downtown Toronto and is usually PACKED with cars, both ways. They had to bring in heavy duty water pump trucks just to get the highway open again and it took most of the day.

my day (or morning, at least) was made significantly better due to ear plugs and medium amounts of sedatives, because screaming "shut your kid up, god damn it!" to people you hope will stay in your life is just not the kind of thing you want to do.

I got an A in my Physics class mother****ers! This is such a relief because I actually thought I was going to fail or at least get a bad grade, but I wasn't ready for this, seeing as you'd find more bull**** on a farm than you would on my final. I'm celebrating :beer:.

That's a normal day in Ireland. We have to swim to get to the local supermarket to buy milk and bread.

Going to Colorado River tomorrow with my best friend and one of my friends who's on leave. It'll be quite the trip, especially since we've got the means for "party favours" and we're not afraid to use them! It's been a little over a year since I've seen the guy who's coming into town, and a jam is in order since he was our main bassist years ago. This should be a pretty great trip to help wipe out whatever I learned in that physics class I mentioned earlier :laughing:.

Posted on an INFP group about my faceless dog recurrent dream, and how I worked it into a play to get it out of my system, but all of my actors started to have that dream.

It was liked, weirdly, by one of my actors, who I had no clue was even on the forum or an INFP. But she served to expound the severity of said dream.

Very surreal.

Also, I'm now a (non-extra paid) mentor at work, which means I get off the phones a lot, but at no additional pay. I've not even been here a year, so it's super awesome that they seek me out.

I mean, yeah, I'd love the extra pay, but getting off the phones, even on my current pay, to teach new people? That's a goddamned blessing.

Sat in the car whilst my dad went to charity shop. He comes running over saying how there's a David Bowie record. I rush out in the rain, getting sodden only to find it's a Eurythmics record. I'm sorry, but Annie Lenox looks nothing like David Bowie. Got my hopes up only to have them dashed. Fecking brilliant.

What do you mean looks nothing alike. They ARE the same person.
