It has been rain, rain, rain for days now and frankly I`m not amused. As I said, fortunately it`s not raining men or cats & dogs because let`s face it, from that height, they wouldn`t stand a chance... and any that did survive would need to be put down just to stop their suffering.
It does seem though that the rain may be reaching an end. It`s been light and showery for days, but now it`s chucking it down, so hopfully that will get rid of it all for a while. I know what all you geography students and smart arses are saying out there (Stockey, Fraser, Matt) ...
"It`s a water CYCLE Ant, it doesn`t end, it keeps on going... you know, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, surface water and ground water."
Well you know what I say to you....
"Shut it! If I want to think that the rain is going to stop, let me! I got really excited yesterday when I saw a patch of blue sky and I`m not giving up hope yet. I didn`t pay all this money to come over here to put up with rain. Yes, again for those smart alecs.... I realise that it`s the rainy season, but come on... give me some hope."
On a brighter note, it seems that the typhoon has passed us by and that the earthquake was too far north for us to feel (although it would have been quite interesting to experience an earthquake... as long as there was no chance of me dying).
And on a totally different note.... the list of songs that I find myself randomly sing has slowed in it`s growth. It goes like this;
the first song to arise was due to the fact that all the toilets and urinals are made by a company called TOTO, hence, everytime I go to the loo I find myself singing "Hold The Line".
Next came the "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" (though it`s just the age of aquarius bit I get in my head) by The Fifth Dimension and as featured in the musical "Hair", This is due to the prevalence of a soft drink called "Aquarius" in the vending machines.
Third was due to the common lunch time food over here that is the Bento box. This is a plastic box that is sectioned into different areas for different food. There are shops where you can buy them hot, or you can get them from the fridge in convenience stores and supermarkets to microwave (there is usually a microwave to use there). You can get all sorts of stuff in them, but I had one that contained a fried, breadcrumbed piece of chicken, rice, japanese pickles (of course), potato salad and possibly some other bits. I ate until I was full but after I had digested it turned out that my lunch had left something behind..... the irrepressible desire to sing "bento, bento box" to the tune of "Macho Man" by the Village People". It goes like this,
"Bento, bento box. I want to eat a bento box". This happens everytime I see a bento box shop and I`m not sure how long Anna can last before she snaps and finally kills me.
Fortunately the most recent song I have found myself singing is the less embarrassing "If you got the money" by Jamie T. I have no idea why I keep singing it, but as it always seems to happen in the subway I think it might be because he has a track called "Northern Line", but as I don`t know the lyrics to that one my brain automatically switches to "If You Got The Money". Maybe if I think about "Going Underground" by the Jam for long enough now I that will automatically jump into my head next time..... Here goes.
