fictionali feel damp.
it was raining cats and gods outside, and managed to soak through my raincoat as i was walking to work.
my clothes are sitting on a chair behind me, dripping into a plastic bag, even after i wrung them out. i am clad in megan's gym clothes, and i look, well, a little peculiar.
all i want to do is be home, under my conforter, napping. with the promise of a tasty warm dinner, and something mindless and fun to watch on tv.
i've been reading fun stuff though. i finished "tipping the velvet" a little while ago, good lesbian erotica, thank you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sykii. and now i've got "the amber spyglass" and "the phoenix and the carpet" to read in the midst of writing my Malory paper. something about finals makes me want to dive head first into children's books.
oh, and in passing, the people at my work are really really weird.

well, wal back in the day, things weren't as wonderfully sanitary and clean as the are now. people used to dumb their "Wasts" if you will right out the window onto the street, this went for kitchen wast, body wast, and any other sort of waste. in places like edinburgh, scotland, many of the roads were kind of, wel, hilly. so whenever somethign was dumbed onto the street, it would flow down to the lower houses. not such a big deal, since it was somethign everyone was doing, but, whenever it rained, the streets would flood.
and the corpses of all the cats and dogs would float down the streets, along with everythign else, giving the impression that it was, indeed, raining cats and dogs.
pleasant, huh? :)
