Rain and Carmen Electra

The other evening there was another huge storm. Fortunately this time it wasn’t when I was trying to sleep. All afternoon it was dark and windy and there was lightning, but no thunder or rain… I new it was going to rain, but I really wanted to get a swim in, so I went to the pool. After about 20min it started to rain. It was amazing amazing. The pool is outside, and the rain was so so so soooo heavy, it was churning up the pool, and then it got dark, it was almost as if I was in a storm in the sea. In the end I realised the rain wasn’t going to stop and I would have to cycle home in the rain… now I only live about 10 blocks from the pool, but my skirt was cream and my t-shirt was white, and it was raining hard… Marionanon will recall berating me in Vietnam for getting soaked and see-through on the back of a motorbike in a village, and I didn’t really want to repeat the experience, but there was no choice! However Marion I did manage to use my sarong as another layer, which significantly reduced see-throughness, and overall I don’t think I humiliated/exposed myself at all really… cycling home was fun… right down the middle of the road as all but the middle was flooded… I also noticed a couple of people washing their children in the run off from gutters. The rain was so heavy and warm… and yet I felt cooler than I had in days…

I’m sitting writing this at home, and the TV is on… most exciting it appears to be a show presented by Carmen Electra. Its called Manhunt: The search for Americas most gorgeous male model. Excellent. To be honest it is not as exciting as it sounds… but there are lots of topless men prancing around and taking themselves far too seriously…
