Rainy day music
This felt much more appropriate during the torrent as i uploaded six hours ago. I fucking love the rain. I love the way it smells and the way my toes squish in my sandals, which i wear through puddles like a true native californian. Ive also grown to enjoy having my vision blurred by the drops on my lenses. Its not as if I ever see very clearly anyhow. I once frolicked in the rain in Central Park. I think i'll put it on my resume. its a moment im extremely fond of, if not quite proud.
cigarette break!
ok so secretly i just wanted to confirm that it had warmed as much as the glance out the window made it appear. bummer
The Jayhawks were one of the first alt-country acts I got into. Immedietly after I started listening to Ryan Adams I began asking for reccomendations of similar character and this Minnesota crew was a pretty universal response. Their album "Rainy Day Music" has been a staple of my rotation since the day it arrived on my hard drive. They've dabbled in different sounds and been through several band members, even so, their entire catalog is fantastic.

I dont remember whether it was in fifth or fouth grade, but I once got in trouble for coming back from lunch soaked. We hadnt even been allowed out but I stood under a drip on the way back from the auditorium. It was fabulous. I enjoy being wet.
