(Tap. Tap.) Is this thing on?

Woke up to the sound of rain. On June 4. For my non-Californian readers, this is unseasonably late for rain. We're currently at 123% of normal for this time of year. The reason my apartment is a total disaster is that I can't put my winter clothes away yet!  (Well, that and the constant eventing of Their Highnesses' reign.)

That said, I have this weekend off, even though it's supposed to rain the entire time. I'm about to go rinse dye out of my hair - while I admire CBS anchor Dana King's new look, she'd be gorgeous no matter what. Me, I'm not happy looking in the mirror lately. Efforts at weight loss continue to frustrate and the weather has been keeping me off my bike. (I know how hard it is to see cyclists through a wet windshield, and I prefer not to get soaked and cold.)

Berkeley Potter's Guild is having an open studio today. Maybe I'll go. I really love Danny Dastrup's pottery. Do I REALLY need more tea bowls? Um, don't answer that.

And I have Chushingura on DVD....

LJ Maint issue: they've been working on a problem concerning comments--for a while there, you'd try to look at comments and instead get the screen to comment instead.

Yes, nice weekend for staying indoors with fuzzy slippers on and the company of a good lap-cat/fireplace/movie/what-have you.

It's not supposed to rain in June in the Bay Area. It's just not. The Bay Area is supposed to get it's last strong rain no later than the end of April (and usually earlier than that). One day with a little spitting in July. One day with a spit or two of water in August accompanied by thunder and lightning. That's it.

Can't have too many tea bowls with all the tea you're serving at SCA stuff.
