i adore rain

We have had two days of beautiful rain, a slow steady drizzle that lasts all day. A Washington rain. It makes my hair all fuzzy but I don’t care. Walking around we could smell the fragrant wood scent of damp forest and drizzly rain (and this was in the middle of a neighborhood). I love waking up to mottled grey overcast skies.

Random updates: We are having our big (dead) tree removed, which makes me very sad. I am in the process of ripping all our CDs to MP3. It’s a big hairy project but it needs to be done at some point. I am painting again, and not bathroom walls this time. I bought new sleep pants, and they are red plaid and very comfortable. We are having a birthday party in a few weeks (want to come?). I am looking forward to planning the halloween party. Possible theme: Modern Deities. Example: Velveetos, the god of processed cheese food product.

Last night’s dream: Something really disturbing, involving being in someone’s apartment, which was partially filled with sand. I had to bury a bomb in the sand, and it was a little black Mac-crash bomb, with a gold stripe around the middle. My mission was to cause maximum destruction, and this bomb merely blew itself out of the sand, with a little popping noise. Next I tried converting some of the Christmas tree ornaments from the tree behind me into bombs, but I had difficulty with this. The people I was with asked the next-door neighbor to borrow some power, and I tried fashioning my own power plug out of parts of another plug, plus some gold tape of some sort that I folded over to use as the prongs. I had to carry the thing in my mouth, and it was painfully tingly.
