rainy saturday

i feel like i am in a movie. i am sitting at my beautiful laptop staring out the window at the pouring rain just lost in my thoughts. it is simply poetic. and i think: living in this great city is so natural. wake up, coffee, metro, cruise past the white house into work, lunch with emma, more work, gym, dinner, class, perhaps a bar or some karaoke. it is so easy to slip into this groove. adrienne said that coming here would be like trying to merge onto a busy freeway. i merge like i've been making this drive my whole life. no thought involved. no second glances over my shoulder. so as i continue to watch the rain fall, i smile. if this is it, i am happy.
