"Looking out the door
I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes fill up with water"
- 'Lover You Should've Come Over' by Jeff Buckley
So it's been pouring rain here in Vancouver for a good solid week and a half. We've had a few dry spots here and there, but overall it's just been rain, rain, rain. And it is definitely getting to me. I've been feeling gloomy. I mean, not only does it get dark early in the winter, but with the rain and cloud cover it gets darker even earlier. So if the sun could just pop out it's head and say "hello", that would be nice. You'd think I'd be used to it by now - I've been living here for over 5 years now - but every winter it never fails to get to me. And then there are the joys of waiting for buses in the rain, getting soaked, and stepping in all of the unavoidable and massive puddles on campus...
So I wanted to post some great literature quote about rain but I couldn't think of any off the top of my head (although I do have a great quote about snow - just wait until the first snow fall!). All I could think of were the opening lines to "Lover You Should've Come Over" by Jeff Buckley. Anyways, it is an amazing song and these words do paint a very vivid picture. I know my last post was about Jeff Buckley, but he is just so awesome that I can't get enough of him.
Also, I had promised last week that I would post my finished article about Canadian director John Zaritsky and his new movie Leave Them Laughing. It was published in the Ubyssey this past Monday. Here is the link to the article on the Ubyssey website: http://ubyssey.ca/culture/?p=11054
Hope you like it!
