unexpected typhoon

solarbirdSo apparently this bizarre storm system we've been hit with over the last several days - rainy, strangely tropically humid but also strangely cool - is set to deliver over an inch of rain on Sunday. For the record, that's more than we get in all of a typical July. Apparently, it's the remnants of Typhoon Man-Yi which hit Japan last week. It's just... freaky.
Anyway, there's flooding and stuff, which would be normal for April, but not so much for now.
We don't get a lot of typhoons around here. Not even remnants thereof. Our shtick is winter windstorms, not this stuff.

Not much exciting going on. Quick summary: Paprika is at the Crest; it's good, go see it while you can, particularly for $3. I've only heard back from two professors in the graduate programme so far, one of whom referred me to the other (because he's on sabbatical); I'd hoped for more, but I'll take what I can get. I've been lamely doing work at Murkworks South prepping it for fall. I really dislike the prep work at this point, but, well, money. I've been practicing my singing and some flute, but not my Japanese, and I really need to be working on my Japanese. I've had a few ideas for songs that I've poked at, I need to get comfortable on Garage Band so that I can maybe do something with them before summer is over. As well as a bunch of design stuff that I've been doing and need to do more of. Lots more of. And the mid-year letter I want to do, and all the sorting-through-Stuff-to-ditch that I've wanted to do, and and and... that's about it, really.
I forgot to record miles for a while since the last time. We'll assume I got lost along the way. Snif.
Sunday's miles: 2.2
Tuesday's miles: 1.0
Wednesday's miles: 4.7
Thursday's miles: 10.2
Friday's token: 0.2
Saturday's token: 0.1
Miles out of Hobbiton: 1857.1
Miles out of Rivendell: 1400.1
Miles out of Lothlórien: 945.1
Miles past Rauros Falls: 528.2
Miles past Isengard: 60.5
Miles to Minas Tirith (Aragorn's Path): 707.5
