I'm hoping for a thunderstorm

pacificpikachuDad said he and Ryan saw a potential thunderstorm heading our way, so I'm really excited. ^^ I don't know if it'll actually turn up, but I'll just have to wait and see.
In other news, Satoshi Kon is now my hero (not that he wasn't before), because of how apparently awesome his views on making anime and such are: http://www.tkfd.or.jp/eng/division/public/supercool/sc01.shtml
Also, a fun interview with Ikue Otani: http://www.tkfd.or.jp/eng/division/public/supercool/sc06.shtml
I would love to meet her--we could have a totally awesome conversation in Pikachu language. ^_^
Also, Cody e-mailed me this, and I thought it was amusing (and mostly true), so I'll pass it on.
1. Everyone understands where the Ass Alley joke came from.
2. The only place to go at night is Lyons and Ralph's, and you're destined to see someone you know there.
3. They're probably related to you.
4. You're either stoned or drunk when you go there.
5. The local newspaper seems to always have a story on Nevada Union. And you're not in Nevada. And Chicago Park isn't in Chicago either.
6. The only thing to do in the summer during the day is go to the river.
7. Or the movies.
8. Or the bowling alley.
9. Or just drive around.
10. You get excited about the carnies at the fair.
11. Your mom had the same English teacher as you do.
12. You'll drive nearly an hour to get good sushi.
13. There is NO cultural diversity. Unless you count the hippies, the rednecks, and the aggies.
14. The nearest mall is 45 minutes away.
15. "Going to the mall" becomes an expedition.
16. You look forward to a good laugh with the police blotter...even though drive-by pitchforkings are too common to be funny anymore. (Not to mention you or someone you know is in said police blotter...)
17. People have a "white trash facial structure"
18. People don't know they have mullets.
19. There are more prayer flags than American flags.
20. It takes about 30 seconds to drive through downtown.
21. Dance parties are more popular than school dances.
22. Talking to strange naked people at the river doesn't weird you out.
23. You went to school with everyone.
24. You've had one of your friend's moms as a teacher.
25. Sacramento is a culture shock.
26. The Nevada County Fair is the biggest event of the year.
27. You wonder how all the hippies can afford to live in Nevada City.
28. The ads for apartments clarify whether or not you can grow pot.
29. When you break up with someone the entire county knows about it in 2 minutes flat.
30. You know someone in the newspaper every day.
31. You make it in the newspaper for standing in a playground, or liking Harry potter.
32. You see someone you know everywhere you go.
33. You know what the horn is.
34. Rough and Ready doesn't strike you as an odd name for a town.
35. You walk around town muttering curses against the "black hole" - at any age; 5, 15, 65, 95...
36. You never leave Nevada County, you just keep bouncing back.
37. You attend the "Draft Horse Classic" - even if you don't like horses.
38. You are automatically friends with anyone of your age who lives within two miles of you - yay! A friend you could actually see on a daily basis! (There will probably be about two.)
39. You're campaigning to have "Chicago Park" renamed "The Sticks".
40. You have a t-shirt that says "Colfax - a small drinking town with a railroad problem."
41. It's common to find out that you're actually distantly related to one of your friends.
42. Every store has either "gold", "placer", or "miner" in the name.
43. When asked about the biggest driving hazard, you say "deer".
44. You wait all year for two seasons - winter/summer, when it's open tourist season (get out the shotgun) and September-November, when you get to either spend your time making massive, obnoxious signs supporting or defying a canditate or a measure, or sneaking around town at night defacing them.
45. Your middle school graduating class had 21 people...or under.
46. If you want to get excercise, you walk to the mailbox for your mail. XD
Um...yeah. If you don't live here, you're not going to get those.
I feel excellent today. The only complaint I have is that I wanted to finish some SasuNaru fanart tonight, and I *still* can't find my new inking pens. >< It's going to drive me crazy, I tell you.
I don't feel like writing about the general day... I'm too lazy. Suffice to say, it was fairly average, and cool. Love the weather--it makes me listen to Wolf's Rain music. :P
