Forces of nature
Witnessed a weird natural phenomena last night. As people in the NY area know, we got pounded with pretty intense thunderstorms for four hours or so. There was a ton of lightening and it seemed to be really close by.
After one particularly close strike, there was a loud CRACK and a yellow flash in my room. It was like lightening had struck my apartment.
The only thing I can figure out is that there was so much static electricity in the air of my apartment that a nearby lightening strike caused it to ignite. Or something like that. I'm a little weak in the whole physics/natural science area. It was kind of frightening, but rather cool.
In other news, I got sick this weekend with some kind of sinus infection. It is pretty miserable. I don't feel terrible (no fever), but my sinuses are completely clogged and draining despite my sinus meds. So I've been trying to relax and lay low until I feel better.
