Things that take forever to come
There are a few things that have taken forever to come. They are, in no particular order:
1) Presentation for my business class. According to the schedule we're a week and a half late; according to me at my group's initial meeting, we could've gone as early as the class before that -- two weeks ago.
2) Rain. It hasn't rained much in Virginia. Today was the first day I noticed rain during the day since I've been here in Richmond, so it's been almost seven weeks. In fact, it's not really raining now, but there was a light mist of rain falling earlier. There's still a lot of fog around, and the sky is solid gray, so I'm sure that it'll rain. Actually, no. I'm not sure it will rain. If I say that I'll tempt the fates. It was only a few weeks ago that a freak thunderstorm popped up over Prince William County for a few minutes before disappearing. I have a feeling we've really pissed off [insert deity of choice] and [he/she/it(?)] is toying with us like we're Sim City. Speaking of Sim City, I built up a pretty substantial city yesterday. I saved it, then proceded to burn it down, set tornades and UFOs and locust swarms and earthquakes on it, and start riots in the streets. It took the better part of an hour to destroy it.
Things that are taking forever to come (i.e. things that have not yet come):
1) Hayley Westenra's Odyssey. This CD has already been released in New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, Ireland, and the UK, among others; it will be released last here in the U.S. and Canada almost two months after the first release in New Zealand. Argh.
2) Supreme Court confirmations. I want something to rant about, dammit!
