Raining in the Bathroom
The Sound of Rain
How do you feel, when you are sitting back while you are in the bathroom and hear the soft sound of rain on the roof and walls whilest there? Is it relaxing? Do you just not think about it usually?
Well, I heard it today- it was a little relaxing at first, until I realised that it was a sunny morning and definitely not raining at all.
Of course, while I still felt a little unease, I knew what it was. It was in the shower next to me, coming from the bathtub.
Ah yes, nothing like relaxing to the sound of ‘rain’, then getting up to go and peeking in the bathtub…
To see thousands of insects crawling around.
Hee hee, quite the Halloween treat, isn’t it? Actually, that is how it normally is- though it is at its most crowded point. Our cricket-hotel (a ten gallon tank) is presently at full capacity with our recent 2 thousand cricket shipment. They don’t chirp much most often, so instead you hear… the sound of rain, really. Or the sound of thousands of insects crawling about on egg cartons. It doesn’t really bother me as much if I can look in and SEE them, because not seeing is worse than seeing. You get used to it. But generally, I try to keep them covered with the shower curtain.
We have two bearded dragons, and of course they eat: crickets. Lots of them. So many that if we did not get them cheaply online, shipped to us, we’d be up a creek financially. Easier to pay one or two cents a cricket.
Next time it rains while you are in the bathroom, just make sure it IS raining…

it did sound like rain. or whispering. very creepy.
i really have to laugh, that’s hilarious, lol
like any good piece of art ceramics comes at a price and some of it is well worth paying a few extra dollars. if you really like an artist purchase something small. most mugs run between 20-40 dollars and if you think about it, you can only drink out of one at a time anyway. my best advice with purchasing is to find student artist. yes it may not have the name but we churn out some pretty awesome shit. you were right about me being a ceramisist but i am also a photographer as well. …or at least those are my concentrations in school. i can do so much more but those are my two loves. thanks for the comment and i’m sure you’ll find many more people from south carolina on here. i’ve seen a lot personally.
