Holy Crap Cakes

[cornerofmadness]

When I said I wanted a little rain to break the heat, i did NOT mean that About quarter to four I was startled out of bed by a lightning show that was absolutely impressive. Most of it was aerial lightning but it was also non-stop. I ran around unplugging everything especially since the power kept flickering off and on.

Then the rain started. It was coming down so hard and fast all I could think was here comes those flood waters (luckily not) and there goes my garden (also, luckily not). I watched it for a while (because lightning is SO DAMN COOL, love it) before crawling back into bed. The lightning and hard rain lasted for at least an hour before I finally drifted back off..

My porch is about seven feet deep and there's puddles all the way up to my door it rained so hard.

And apropos of nothing, last night I opened some of the cheeses bought at Fancypants Kroger, one was a white stilton with blueberries (delicious) and the other was some french thing (naturally I cut right thru the name...) I smelled it just before I popped it into my mouth and nearly gagged. Spat it out. It smelled like fungusy feet. Trust me. I'm a podiatrist. I KNOW what foot fungus smells like intimately. It was like sucking on a patient's big toe. Thank god this wasn't one of those 11$/lb cheeses. I've never tasted anything so gross in my life. I could still smell it on my fingers hours later in spite of several washings and wiping it on the cat.

yep, shudders and remembers to stick to brie

Lightning show, eh? Something for me to look forward to as well, I suspect. And I live on top of a hill these days, so the lightning is a lot ... closer.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I grew up on a hill. That made lightning that much more fun

That storm must have been moving very slowly. It hit here around 1:30 am. It took over two hours to get to you.

Storms are awesome aren't they? We keep getting tornado warnings though. I'll be the idiot watching the funnel....fascinated. *head/desk*

Poor stinky COM.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you won't be alone however now my tomatoes are under about three inches of water

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yep some kind of french cheese.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it wanted to do as much damage as it could I guess

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

You wiped smelly yucky cheese on Roy? You evil woman you.

That rainstorm sounds cool in a strangely biblical sort of way. I was thinking about how cool rain would be last night.

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

It is not a lucky year for tomatoes is it?

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Mine are doing great. *grin*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm not sure yet. It's too early but these are off to a rough start

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well just the residuals from my fingers. call it repayment for all the times he sneezes on me

it was a great storm. I love them

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

So you're the one behind it all. XD

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

oh god, i love brie. nom nom nom.

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

storms are neat as long as you're inside.

about the podiatrist thing: i'm curious, what made you decide that feet was where it's at? i mean, of all the body parts, why feet of all things?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

because Temple cut back and sliced half the incoming freshman class including me because of money and said go to podiatry school and reapply here next year and take the spot of one of the 50% washout raters

Then I was thinking about marriage and kids and a more 9-5 job that would allow me to write so i just stayed

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

*oh*

I wasn't expecting your reasons to be so...practical and having nothing to do with feet.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hee hee hee.

Of course, I lost my four little Lemon Boys. So....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

wow, all four?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

nope, i have no big thing about feet but i WAS interested in dance at the time

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I think so. My Yellow Giant and Mr. Stripey are trying to take over their sections of the garden, though.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well at least that's something. so far the broken watermelon is hanging in there. Let's see what the okra does. I've never tried okra before

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Our okra is coming up like gangbusters. We'll have lots and lots, yay.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

good, let's see if i recognize ripe okra
