    Friends, I am sick. Or have ridiculously epic allergies. I honestly can’t tell the difference anymore. *laughs maniacally before descending into coughing fit* I’ve been reading, but I haven’t really been writing reviews.

    Thoughts on a rainy Thursday.

    In Southern California, rain is a major weather event. Seriously, it makes me laugh out loud every single time. We get wind of a “major” storm headed our way, everyone panics, it rains far less than we expected, and people are disappointed. I, for one, just go with the flow. Ever since I bought one of those plastic bubble umbrellas that people carry around in Japan, my mass transit commute is much more fun in the rain! Although I can’t deny, and I think we all agree, the best place to be on a rainy day is in bed with…
