This is the fun of living in Nebraska. You get to hang out in the basement (where I am currently writing, from supposed safety), and listen to blaring tornado sirens while watching brown/green swirling skies with ominous clouds, heaps of rain and 80 mph winds. Weather.com claims, "A tornado has been sighted or indicated by radar in your area - seek shelter immediately!" Fun! Excitement! Brings back all those memories of Midwestern tornado drills in school.

Look for some really cool 'after the storm' photos, they'll be posted soon.
nice blog
Of course all the excitement comes the day after i leave - typical. all i got was a measley walk around zarinski lake, not near-contact with the elements and the reminder of the awe-inspiring, oft ruthless, indiscriminate power of Nature herself. looking forward to the photos. Linds, you've certainly seen your share of eerie skies lately -- first the grimpith park fire and now a tornado. meterology may be in your future.
Laura, next time we'll be sure to schedule your visit around impending doom.
perfect. just so long as we call in Dr. Doom and his Indestructible Army.
Are you still jealous about my winning the war of awesome college paper titles?
Winning? Did you really think you could top Time for Tampons, the name of my essay on Toni Morrison's Sula? What about Fanny's Folly (Mansfield Park). You maybe get points for your avat-garde randomness, but my alliterative abilities are tough to beat.
I knew you were going to pull those titles out.
I counter with "Feminism on the Verge of Misogyny" about gender/sexual politics in Pedro Almodovar's film "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" and the simple, aptly titled "Worms" about the use, imagery and meaning of worms in E.E. Cumming's poetry. I know there's got to be more, but my memory of college is sadly slowly fading.
please note: FOTVOM really seems to ring of me -- i think you came up with that one after having lived with my titling skills for a while. but the 5-letter WORMS is tought to beat, especially since the essay was like 20 pages long. Still though, my high school paper on an analysis of eye imagery in the age of innocence titled The Eyes of New York are Upon You, Newland says it all.
