Majohnst says that she rambles in her blog, but I happen to think that it's beautiful rambling. So I decided that if if I want to ramble, then I will ramble. After all, this is a blog where I get to out-pour and you will have to listen to my drizzle, raindrops, thunderous rain.
Speaking of which, it is raining a lot in New York today. I am in two minds about this. Ordinarily, I would throw open the rain and listen to the sounds. In Sierra Leone, I did that all the time (sometimes resulting in my room flooding, c'est la vie?). In my old apartment in New York I could do this, too, because my bedroom overlooked a garden and I was four (long, elevator-less) flights up. But now I'm on the second floor and I overlook a relatively busy street and even with the bedroom windows closed I can hear the cars go by so for now I foresake the sound of the rain and content myself with the knowledge that my living room window is open and perhaps that pitter patter is enough for now. Even if it is in the other room.
Speaking of looking on the brighter side of life, December is upon us, which means that holidays will be upon us (me?) soon. And I have plenty of holidays ahead of me. Will be traveling to India from December 18 to January 10 (yes, three whole weeks!) and at some point during these three weeks I will be going to Sri Lanka with my family for a week-long vacation. Am looking forward. Love the end of the year: December is already full of pleasant and happy things. Like: a trip up to Connecticut this weekend to see old dear friends and their baby, another David Gray concert (yes, I'm obsessed, so sue me), The Antlers concert, firm holiday party (which I enjoyed last year and there's no reason why I won't this year, right?), dinner parties with law school friends from out of town who are en routing in New York, Pink Martini concert with my siblings, A Streetcar Named Desire with Cate Blanchett (as the actress, not my date, oh I wish). Yes, lots to do. Which hopefully means some good blogging in store for you. You can only hope.

I was invited to see Street Car last week but alas was unable to attend. I have to wonder if you are at all reading my blog because as you so nicely noted earlier, you are not leaving any comments on mien either!!!! So, now I have left 2 more comments and I expect to see some from you on Lady-Sings The Blues!
