Thunderstorm!

It went from 85 degress and sunny to raining sideways in about 5 minutes.

The flicker at the start of the video is lightening, and when the thunder comes I jump :)

Chow Chocolat

tinypliny writes at 03:51:30 06/21/09 - Comment #49271: $6 is too much for a dollop of icecream fruit and syrup.

tinypliny writes at 03:50:48 06/21/09 - Comment #49270: You make an awesome model. Why, I'd be shooting pictures constantly even if I had a crappy camera. (so jealous of (e:jim) :p)

james writes at 11:01:24 06/21/09 - Comment #49265: There is a sunday on this list that is vanilla ice cream loaded with bananas, blue berries, strawberries, and pineapple with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

They were out of vanilla ice cream and pineapple, so I got cherry ice cream instead. I think it was $6.

and (e:metalpeter) my face is about this: jim just got his new fancy phone that takes new fancy video. So he has been taking pictures and video constantly and asking me to be in it. So, it was a healthy bit of irritation. ^+^

metalpeter writes at 10:47:31 06/21/09 - Comment #49263: That does look tasty but what is (e:James)' Face about shouldn't he be glowing ear to ear since that food looks so good?

tinypliny writes at 02:58:00 06/21/09 - Comment #49258: Man. I am getting dumber or what? THIS IS (E:JIM)'s JOURNAL!!! No wonder.

So how much did that dessert cost and what is it called?

tinypliny writes at 02:55:20 06/21/09 - Comment #49257: (e:Paul), this journal doesn't appear in your latest list of journal. I got to it through the links in your's and (e:Jason)'s comments on it. There is some glitch and I can't quite make out what it is.

Chow Chocolat is expensive but Ã¼ber tasty. I don't know what I need to do to stop feeling guilty about blowing money there and frequent it more often. (I currently don't frequent it often because of associated financial spendthriftness guilt).

Good News, Bad News

They fixed the water main, but the pressure from turning it on made some toilets explode.

Ah, Friday.

Broken Water Main

A water main break at work flooded the lawn, and also, no bathrooms. They're working on it now right outside my window.

--- edit to add video ---

Testing mobile video posting -- no .mov. So this is manually uploaded.

The quality isn't too bad - it's additionally compressed by the phone before emailing it, and the video was taken through a window with reflections, and then I had to convert it on the desktop from .mov to .flv, and then I think (e:strip) compresses it further. But it's pretty clear anyways. The original file is much better.
