go away, rain

i'd be fine with the rain if i were in san ramon or sb right now. when it rains at home, i take that as i sign that i should stay inside all day and not feel guilty because only crazies go out in the rain.

but here, i have so much wandering left to do and so many christmas wonders to see. i try going out in the rain, but then my boots get soaked with water and my pants get drenched and sometimes, when i'm really lucky, all the water from the roof falls on my head. (that last thing seriously happened to me today...i shrieked then laughed hysterically, because seriously, when does that happen in real life?)

so i spent most of the day inside with my roommate facebook. once i did go outside to the christmas market at la defense (HUGE and wonderful), i got wet. the only good part about rain is that it makes changing into my pajamas better (and you thought that wasn't possible).

at the christmas market, this nice guy gave me one of his handmade metal ornament dealies for free. to be honest, i have no idea what i'll do with this, but it was the nicest thing that happened to me all day, so i'm thankful for it.


imagine this row of booths and times it by like 10. gigantor. i should have expected that...it's la defense. everything's bigger there.
