rain and more

[jazzfish]

The weirdly scattered rain yesterday meant that I got a rainbow on my way to D&D yesterday afternoon. Nice fat bands, and an end somewhere near the East Falls Church metro station. I didn't see it for long; maybe thirty seconds, before I turned off the main road. Still, it made me happy.

Then afterwards a good solid thunderstorm for a bi. Jagged white lightning all across the sky on my way home, and enough rain that at times I couldn't see ten feet in front of me. I've missed weather.

This morning the air had cooled off and dried out enough that running was just a touch easier than the past few days. Too, the heavy rain meant the trees were still soaked, so every time a breeze came through I got a mini-rainstorm. Made for an almost pleasant run.

I feel . . . restless. Wanting to do something different. It's not burnout, or if it is then I've been burnt out for years. It's not a need for a nap or an evening Off. It's just. . . overexposure, maybe. Today I like where I am except that it bores me.

Sunday is likely to be a day of Buying Things. Perhaps Vibrams, perhaps a new desk chair.

I have a vague recollection of having heard of the cat vacuuming society once, and I've also taken a brief look at a couple other things but not been brave or interested enough to explore. Because of my experience with the (generally rather awful) Oberlin CRWR department, I'm a bit wary of ending up in a group of people that think of fantasy as a lower lifeform.

Keep me posted on your interest, I guess... to the extent I had vague thoughts they were in the meeting once a month-ish sort of range, with a set deadline to share anything for workshopping/feedback/whatever. And, you know, then we pick our favorite semi-central restaurant or coffee shop and pretend we're good with constructive criticism.

Also possibly a beginning session of a few interested parties just getting together to discuss "this is what I read, this is what I write, this is what I want out of a writing group" might be worthy?

Okay. This is me definitively expressing interest in an initial meeting. And also speculating on Greenbelt/College Park as being semi-central.
