"Rain's the way you move now..." (Nick Drake)

Today is the kind of cozy made by the souls of raindrops turning the air silver and shimmering away all sounds. I don't often find rainy days melancholy... or maybe I just enjoy this particular brand of melancholy. It adds new worlds of value to lamps and peppermint tea and fuzzy leopard-print slippers.
And since my creative energy has taken a dismal turn today, here are some quotes from over the summer for your reading pleasure:
~~~~~
Me to husband: "You're a better man than I am."
~~~~~
19-yr-old cousin: "I get so confused with directions. When someone tells me to go south, I'm like, 'My south? His south?' I don't know!"
~~~~~
Friend #1: "They got married on Friday?"
Friend #2: "Yeah, at 11."
Friend #1: "In the afternoon?"
Friend #2: "Yeah."
~~~~~
Someone: "The scales in Europe make you feel great by weighing you in kilometers instead of pounds!"
~~~~~
On the bus... Lady #1: "Oh look, it's raining!"
Lady #2: "What's raining?"
