the rainbow after the storm

the calm after the storm.
i've been soothed.

rainy days are particularly slow days, aren't they?
i didn't feel like doing anything at all today.
i didn't even feel like ranting and whining.

(Oh, random digression: today's little field trip to King Taco in East LA was really fun! I genuinely love Ms. Hernandez to death. She's such a great teacher.)

okay, i lied. there really is a rainbow after every storm.
here's mine:

Rainbow, January 21st, 2010

Q: Why does this photo suck so much?
A: I took it while I was driving.

Don't ever, ever, take after me, kids. It's dangerous!

Sun + Shine, 2008

good days are a-comin'. I can feel it in me bones.
why the sudden complete turnaround?
assertive people have got it going on!
i should be more assertive more often.
after all, it brought me a message from him.

oooh, while we're at it, here's another (not so) random digression:
i had bad milk again today.
actually, i don't think the milk was bad.
perhaps my stomach just decided to have an adverse reaction to it.
(digression within a digression-- grammar stuff again! "adverse" means "unfavorable" whereas "averse" means "unwilling to.")

back to milk.
perhaps my mixture of watermelon pieces and milk didn't mix so well in my tummy?
oh, there was also a half slice of a strawberry too.
even though it gave me stomach pain, the concoction was worth it.
it was yummy to the very last drop.


The Concoction: Before


The Concoction: After

look! it's a heart! cute, isn't it?
i saved it for last.
the watermelon chunks were long gone by then.
too bad strawberries aren't in season every season...
they're insanely delicious.

piddle puddle puddle trickle.
the storm is slowly breaking up in my head.
soon i will see clearly again.
