just a note:

we had the window open in the living room today, and it brought in this amazing rainy day smell, and that coolness mixed with the heat from the radiators made it feel like summer in here, and i loved it.

now, the wind is blowing kind of fiercely, so fiercely, in fact, that it is making creepy noises outside of the windows up here on the eighth floor. we had to shut the window because of the noise, and because the wind knocked some stuff off of stephanie's desk.
