Appropriate
Apparently Thursday was the official beginning of 梅雨 (tsuyu: rainy season) here in Japan. What that means is that with little reprieve it will pretty much rain on and off for the next month. I have yet to experience a "real" rainy season here since last year's rainy season consisted of three days of rain. It was awesome.
This year, it reflects my mood (cue violin) much more appropriately, and is also looking to be much more of a rainy season. It's good for the rice industry and the bugs, and also for everyone's clothes smelling a bit rank. But it's meant to happen, so enjoy it, dammit!
I, for one, will be sipping cocktails and singing Why Does it Always Rain on Me? under my breath.
