but no rain.. can touch me now...

so it rains quite a lot here. lately, i have been trying to convince myself that i have an impermeable superpower. that i have the preternatural ability to repel water. searching for monkeys through water up to your shins, in the pouring rain for hours on end, one often wonders what the hell they are doing out there. i try to play mind games- like the superpower bit, and sometimes i try to think about how happy the frogs must be.. and the leeches and maybe the worms if they haven't drowned already. the other day i thought that maybe the rain is just a way of the sky hugging me. or punching me in the face. pounding me to the ground, until i have no willpower left to play these mind games. you might say, well suzie, don't you have a poncho? a poncho? heh. ponchos, in the rainy season, are about as useful as pasties. which are not useful.. unless you are going for arousing lingerie. and you can't use ponchos for lingerie...

i received an email stating that today, rain levels broke records in santa rosa national park. the station reported 405.9 mm from yesterday morning (7am) to today (7am). this satellite image of central america was taken today at 6:30am.


also-- it is so humid here that the nerds that fell onto my desk last night turned into little nerd puddles by the morning. i guess 100% humidity will do that.

I am going to have to disagree with your comment that ponchos couldn't make sexy lingerie. Give me some scissors and some lace... and maybe some glitter.... Think Project Runway Meets Victoria Secret... meets Planet of the Apes.
