This... is not nearly as funny as it looks at first sight when you know what it means, but I LOL'd.

*coughs*

In other news, May is next to over which means the lovely Shakespeare & Medieval Literature seminar with Colin is over as well. We had our farewell party today which was as usual very amusing, but still sad because one of the two bright spots on my schedule disappears now.

In yet other news, the thunderstorm that's been looking about to start any minute now for a week has finally come. Mostly lightning, little rain. Hope it washes the sand off my car. The tiny bit of rain we got on Wednesday came with an extra helping of very fine sand. I knew this week's weather came from the Sahara desert, but I hadn't expected it to have brought souvenirs...

In even more different news, would anyone among you coincidentally have SMAP's "Sekai no hitotsu dake no hana"? It's been stuck in my head for a coupla days now and growing annoying and I don't even have it in my collection. Yes, yes, I know I keep mocking SMAP and their ilk, but needs must.

Oh, I didn't know that! That explains our surprisingly dirty windows! O.o
