Rainy raining rain

Well, its pissing down.
Absolutely bucketing.
Raining like a mofo.
Hosing it down.
Wet as a wet thing.
Raining cats and dogs.

I remember seeing rain scenes in American movies, and the rain didn't look real. It looked, in fact, like someone was holding up a big fire hose, because the rain seemed too wet. There always seemed to be too much water in the rain for it to be real, because rain isn't that wet. It seemed fake.
Well right now its raining like there's that guy. The one who works on the movie sets and holds up the fire hose to create the fake rain. However, its raining like that from the actual sky, not from a hose. I've never seen rain like it before outside of Central Otago. It is extremely fucking wet rain. I love rain. Rain is awesome.
However, it doesn't have the decency to cool down though, does it. Its still hot, but nows its even muggier and hotter and stickier and wetter. Especially wet given that I don't have an umbrella, and its too hot for a raincoat. Still, its rain, so I'm happy.
Its funny watching the people who seem terrified to get wet. They hide under their books, and in doorways, waiting for the rain to cease so they don't get a drop of water on their precious selves.
What, are you made of salt? Are you going to dissolve? Or perhaps you are an alien, and if you get splashed your human disguise will disintegrate and your true alien form will be visible to the earthlings. Get over yourself. You're about three quarters water anyway, a little more won't hurt you.

Because the universe is out to get me, the university have fucked up my pay, so now I have to go and get money out of my NZ bank account and put it in my US bank account so that the rent cheque I sent this morning won't bounce.

Also, are you all still alive? Now I no longer have the joy of seeing your lovely selves in person, I must get my fix via updates.
