On Thursday, when I got out of work, Michelle came by to watch Wednesday's episode of Lost (I discovered that apparently I've missed several episodes — how did that happen?!). After the show was over, we hung out and jammed for a bit (I keep forgetting she plays drums). It was fun getting to play music with someone else. It reminded me of how nice it is to have someone with similar interests to spend time with. I get so used to living my life with minimal human contact, and it doesn't really feel too unpleasant after a while, but then I get to hang out with someone I like and I'm reminded of how much better life can be.

This was a weekend of failed attempts. The plan was to go fly the helicopter on Saturday. On Sunday I planned to take the ferry to Culebra and rent a Jeep and then drive around, explore, and take pictures.

Saturday when I woke up it was raining. It wasn't a heavy rain, and the airfield is a 45 minute drive away so it's possible it wasn't raining there, but it's hard to drag yourself out of bed with four hours of sleep when there's heavy rain falling outside your window.

Today I went out for my lunch break and planned to get the car washed. However, halfway to San Patricio it started raining heavily, which very effectively turned the excursion into wasted time. Very clever, to keep it bright and sunny here in San Juan, so I would be fooled into heading out and using up my lunch break for nothing.

While making my way around San Patricio, I drove through a huge puddle, which sent torrential sheets of water cascading away from my car, absolutely soaking a guy who was walking on the sidewalk with an umbrella. I felt bad, but couldn't help finding it hilarious too.
