I love the rain!
It just started raining. I love it. Probably because I live in California and we don't get a ton of it. It's funny, too -- a lot of people will start complaining after a week or two of rainy weather like we're all gonna drown or something. I say we see so little of it that it's a nice change. Of course, we also live in a valley and there have been all these stories, since Katrina, about how we could easily be under water if our levees failed -- that part I could do without. It's kind of scary to know that our homes and possibly our lives are in the hands of people who may or may not be taking care of business.
But I digress.
I do like the rain. It tends not to be torrential in these parts -- though on Sunday it was coming down in buckets.
I found a DVD I wanted to buy for my dad for Christmas -- a VH-1 "Storytellers" one featuring Bruce Springsteen. I hope he doesn't have it already!
I also bought Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head." I'm so behind. I bought X&Y a couple of months ago and love-love-LOVED it, so now I'm buying backwards. I'm still on my first listen -- turns out that though I don't know all the songs by name, I did know tracks 1, 2 & 5 just from hearing them on the radio. I know they've been around for several years now, but I'm really only now "discovering" them. I like them a lot. It's hard, though, to think that the reason I've taken the time to check them out is because "X&Y" was a CD I knew Jeff had. And on the CD I'm listening to now, "The Scientist" was a song that he considered to be his and his girlfriend's song -- which I found out after he died. They played it at the memorial service. It's a good song.
That Jeffy was deep -- I still miss him like crazy, but somehow listening to some of the music I know he loved makes me feel better.
Wow, how's that for a tangent?

I love the rain also, but by February I'm pretty tired of it. In Seattle it doesn't rain all that hard but it does rain for a long time...constantly drizzling or raining from November to February. My knickers are always soaked.
OMG I thought the roof was gonna cave in around 3 a.m. today -- the loudest thunder I think I've ever heard, woke us both up -- then started dumping buckets of water! It was crazy, for all of 5 minutes, then gone. Weird.
i liked Coldplay's first two albums, and i wanted to like the new one. i don't know. i'm not sure i like post-gwyneth coldplay.
i love when my christmas shopping is complete. whew.
