Sunday in rain, the remnants of Rita are rolling by my window. Yes, it made it all the way to St. Louis. I haven’t been tracking the news. After the bus exploded I just couldn’t listen anymore. Instead I’ve been keeping my attention local.

Friday night Jes and I went to the Forest Park Community College One Act Play Festival. My friend Mary directed two of the plays. They were both excellent and one starred Steve Potter of KWMU fame. Many of the usual suspects descended on Mary’s house last night for the cast party. The Vanessa quote, “It’s going to be odd listening to Cityscape on Friday after hanging out with him”.

Jes took about 300 pictures, so perhaps I’ll post some later. I am trying to get motivated to do some academic work, but the rain has got me too damn mellow. Ah well, soon we’re off to Illinois for Jes’ stepmother’s birthday party. I have tomorrow to work. Today I shall listen to the storm.
