impressedIt was raining moderately today on the way to work, which in California terms means torrential downpour, and I can't explain why, but it was super fun! I was grinning the whole way. Then the wind kicked up and my jeans ended up soaked to the thigh. Good thing I have a pair of shorts at the office that I changed in to and then abused the server room by draping my wet jeans over a chair right in front of the fan. Four hours later and they're completely dry! :D
In honour of the rain, I have listened to all the songs I have on my work machine that have "rain" in the title:
Jane Siberry - It Can't Rain All The Time
Missy Elliott - The Rain
Belinda Carlisle - Summer Rain
Unfortunately, I think that's all I've got here. :P Any other rain songs y'all like? I can probably find 'em on YouTube.
Not exactly rain, though.
"Red Rain" - Peter Gabriel
However, amusingly enough, I actually have a friend of mine who put together a fanfic mix CD of songs all having to do with 'rain'. I don't have a copy of it, but I heard a second friend playing it once and telling me about this. :)
i love a rainy night//eddie rabbit
