So I’m walking to work today from the train station and it starts to rain. Of course I forgot my umbrella. So I put one hand over my eyes so that my mascara wont come dripping down my cheeks like Courtney Love. I’m walking along, by the side of the highway, muttering “whatever” to the [...]

Ok so I was more or less dragged to see this film but I have to tell you that if you that if you want to do something fun this Independence day- go see this film. It was the feel good film of the year- and even a crusty old cynic like me got sentimental [...]

So ummm…of the many holidays that seem to creep up and sort of poke me on the side of the head, “Friendship Day” day (first Sunday of every August) is among them, and quite happily, I didn’t receive a single happy friendship day wish- which means two things 1) I have no creepy male friends [...]

This subtle song about rain mixes perfectly with the backdrop of rain falling on my window shutters.
