you're unhappy with Mother Nature? honey, i live in Canada, near the Great Lakes. we have normal weather, usually. but right now? it feels like Indian monsoon season. it's been raining pretty much non-stop for 9 days. thunderstorms, downpours, the works. i went out this afternoon, braving the stormy weather, to put out the garbage. one of my housemates had managed to forget to put the lid on after the bin had been emptied on monday. it was half full of water. *falls over* i'm praying for this to stop before i have to take the hint and start building a boat...

great list of recs, by the by! :)
