june is the new april

i woke up today knowing that rain was in the forecast. the weatherman told me so. but unlike those previous times i listened to him, this time he was actually right. and boy was he right. today poured cats and dogs. remember that part in forrest gump where they're fighting in the vietnam war and it rains for weeks straight? it's raining from above, from the side, and from below. forget about using an umbrella as it'll just get blown straight from your wet grip. as i walked around i noticed everyone else looking miserable and complaining about weather, but i got a kick out of it. it's not everyday, at least in california, where you have to predict the wind patterns for your umbrella position, hop around random puddles or swing around the elderly lady with the fat umbrella. i was literally smiling while walking back from work. now as i sit and type this, i wonder how long it will be until that smile fades away. at least i'll have another couple days to ponder that as the weatherman calls for sunshine over the weekend.
and hopefully he's right this time as i'm scheduled to go furniture browsing around the city. furniture for my new apartment!!! after several apartment viewings, we finally applied, got approved, and signed the lease for a july move in. it's located in a high rise luxury building just west of times square and the building comes with a modern gym, putting green, roof deck, entertainment lounge, and free breakfast every weekday. i'm lucky that the process wasn't painstaking. and now i can concentrate on furnishing the apartment as my next goal is to be part of apartment therapy's 2010 small cool apartment contest. check out that site. it's great for guys who lack any creative talent but still want their apartment to be sophisticated. it's time for me to start collecting those ikea and bed bath and beyond gift cards. ebay here i come!!!
