Haiku of the Day - Jan. 13

Rain falling always
Eroding the helpless earth
Drowning us in mud


BUT FOR REAL.
It has rained here every day for the past five days, and we're expecting rain for at least two more days. It's ridiculous. How I am supposed to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather if I can't go play Frisbee on the quad? If this doesn't let up soon, I'm going to wear out my houndstooth rain boots. That would be awful.

Here's a little geology fun fact for you, if you happen to find geology fun: What many people call erosion is actually weathering. Weathering is the term to describe the breaking off of particles of rocks or sediment by forces like wind or water. Erosion is just the transportation of the broken-off particles. Geology brought to you by an English major.

So I've been in my room a lot the past couple days, growing very bored. I've watched more Netflix and YouTube videos than any human should watch and I've even done some sporadic cleaning and organizing. Half of my room is neat and tidy now. I've also been eating way too much junk food. I would go walk it all off, but... yeah. It's raining.

I wonder if anybody's started to build an ark. If I help them, maybe they'll let me ride on it.

What I've been watching on Netflix:
-The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
-Thor: Tales of Asgard

What I've been watching on YouTube:
-Iron Man 2 clips
-The Avengers clips and cast interviews

WHAT I JUST GOT ON DVD AND WATCHED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS AND LOVED:
-Iron Man

(notice a theme?)
