it feels like england today.

ah yes, reflecting on a life not far removed yet drastically changed from my life now.

i always notice how it rains differently here then in england. in my experience the queen's land is rarely graced with the presence of a thunderstorm, or recurring intervals of torrential downpour. not to say that doesn't happen but it is far less frequent then here.

the way it's been raining today is the way it rains in england. a soft, steady, almost rhythmic release of moisture from the sky. as if an afterthought. you notice that you're wet before you notice it's raining. that's england.

what makes today different is the distinct feel of home, of canada, of oakville. i played baseball in the rain with good friends for hours and it was fantastic.

i should add that i am currently listening to elliott smith for pretty much the first time in my life. i couldn't ask for a better musical backdrop.

shit, the chicken fingers are ready. i'm gonna get my eat on.
