Rain Writing
As I sit here waiting for midnight--or rather 22:30 so I can call my mom and then head out for the pottermania at midnight, I figured I might as well do something constructive.. so i turn to bloggin. And don't worry, it wont be another potterpost.
It was freakish in London again today--weatherwise. I slept in and woke up to gloomy skies and light rain. After a slight mishap with setting my phone come alarm clock, I jolted out of bed at about 10:30 with the realization that there was no way it could still be midnight—especially since I went to bed at 2 am! In any event, I got up and headed out to work feeling happy despite the gray gloomy sky and light rain… I started working, then decided the day was better spent procrastinating and looking for tickets for next week. I could have left and taken the day off officially, seeing as there were all of 4 people at work today, but by this point the rain was hammering down and I figured I might as well try and sort out some issues. So I worked. And facebooked and worked some more. Eventually, just past noon, the murkiness gave way to golden sun filled brilliance. Every cloud was gone, and the only sign of the torrential downpour were pockets of puddles and wet, windswept hair. Of course that meant going out for a long lunch walk—out towards Planet Organic for the amazing organic sobu noodles with mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes. Yummy. At about 5 when I realized the afternoon sun was really here to stay and not just taunt us, I decided I was done for the day and took a long walk out to the mac store at oxford circus then down the street towards marble arch to head up edgeware for a café Helen shawarma. I took one bite, luckily with my headphones off, and my phone rang—it was my mommy! For some reason she couldn’t really talk then but she wanted to talk to me when I was at home—so here we are, as I wait (another 3 minutes) so I can call here from home… Anyway, that’s when I decided perhaps the plan of sitting around edgeware alone and smoking sheesha wouldn’t happen and I would get home, getting groceries on the way, eat dinner, call and then get over to cue at the gower street waterstones for my copy of harry… I can’t believe it’s the last one. But wait.. bfore I go off on harry—though I wont since I promised I wouldn’t, I wanted to wrap up the weather weirdness. Since the rain is once again come down in light sheets outside, soaking all the little dressed up wizards and muggles alike (ok ok.. the closer to midnight it gets, the more it comes up naturally!) where were we? Oh right the weather, yea so its back to the light drizzle, which is very London I suppose. It’s just hard to figure out how to dress for it. And yes, I just wrote an entire entry on the weather. But only because it really is freakish out here in London.
