I have yet to get used to actually seeing clouds.
Yes, I know how weird that sounds. I grew up in Seattle, where we have more cloudy days than sunny ones. Let me explain: There's something wrong with my depth perception, I can't perceive distance beyond a half-mile or so. As the clouds in Seattle are almost always above 2,500 feet up, they look just as far away as the stars to me.
Here in Pullman, however, it's a very different story. Clouds are a lot lower and closer - I can actually see depth and thickness in them. They aren't just things painted on the dome of the sky, they're actually big, round thick things, and my subconscious protests that things that big and opaque really shouldn't be able to hover up in the sky.
Aside from that, my dear sweet cello arrived here in Pullman two days ago, thanks to a friend's mom who was driving over. Myself, said friend, and two others have put together a string quartet, and we're working on adapting some of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's music. It's really fun stuff, even if some of the songs really need a drum kit to complete them.
That and maybe a bass. I need to hit notes an octave lower, darn it, and my cello doesn't quite de-tune that far.
