Chubby Rain
April 30, 2003
It’s about 30 past 5AM right now. I went to sleep at 3AM. Why am I up so early? It wasn’t intentional. I was literally woken up by the rain. I woke up and heard a really loud noise and wondered for a moment. It really sounded like rain. I opened the sliding door and I was right. It was the rain. I have never in my life seen so much water coming down from the sky and that says a lot because I come from Vancouver - the land of gravitated water. It’s kind of eerie standing on your balcony at 5:30AM watching the most rain you’ve seen in your life. It kinda made me think of, “Sonova… what if it were to flood… where would I go?” My eyes darted to the taller apartment buildings around…
I’m really glad I don’t have to work today but other arrangements will have to be made with my laundry plans because my clothes will become wetter in the drying process than the washing cycles today. Thankfully I remember that weather in this place doesn’t tend to stick around too long. Gonna try to fall asleep again but damn, that rain is really loud!
