Every year I deceive myself into thinking 55 degrees is warm weather. Coming out of winter, I get excited for weather where I am not shivering all the time that I inevitably bring out the flipflops way too soon.
Similar to my being deceived every year about the warmness of weather, I was deceived again today about the likelihood of precipitation in Ireland. I thought "oh It's nice and sunny today, I don't need an umbrella." Famous. Last. Words.
So I went into the city today in the great hunt for a Halloween costume, and was on the way back to class when the first downpour occurred. It was one of those things that there was nothing I could do but put the hood up and just continue walking for fifteen minutes. It was that angular rain as well that manages to hit the entire body. Soo class was spent slightly soaked. On the way home from class, the heavens opened again. I tried to pretend like "oh it's just a little bit of Irish sunshine, won't hurt anything" and then it started to rain harder. I ended up running back to the apartment, and my roommates just started laughing when they saw me. It was not my most attractive moment.
Regardless it's been a good day for the sheer fact alone that I got one of the Cadbury Creme Eggs that they are advertising for Halloween that has green goo inside. And Glee is on tonight. And I got my paper turned in.
And because all the rain has reminded me of one my all time favorite movie clips.
I have no idea what you're talking about. It didn't rain a drop the entire 7 days I was Ireland! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe actually did get a little "mist" on our first day there, but I agree with Devon about the "sunshiney" days we enjoyed! Next time, have a roommate take a picture and post for all to enjoy :-)
ReplyDeleteDid you find a Halloween costume yet?
It's been raining for the past 7 days here. Apparently it rains for the entire month of November.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching Gene Kelly I was wondering if you were singing in the rain?
ReplyDeleteSome how it doesn't sound like it.
