My Favorite Kind of Days: Rain

{Picture Credit}

Yes, I am a sucker for dark, cold rainy days.

Perhaps it's because we've had a bit of a drought this summer or the fact that I

don't live in Seattle (the Seattle natives that I've met are adamant that I would

get sick of the rain); at any rate, I love a good soaking rain that lasts from the

wee hours of the morning to just after dinner. It's very conducive to snuggling

on the sofa, curling up in the covers, and taking a nap.

Today has in store some errand running, violin playing, studying (naturally),

and hopefully some knitting. Buying yarn for my summer sweater is a part of the

errands I need to run and I'm happy to say that I've decided on a color.

I picked up a book from the library (just for fun) called Accents; such a great

resource for learning just about any sort of accent from Highland Scotch to Bombay

India, Mr. Blumenfeld gives a detailed explanation for every sort of accent.

Imitating accents has long been a pet hobby of mine so it's pretty fun to read a

formal study of them.

Beware, I may be sporting a Zulu or Australian accent the next time you see me!

Also, I'm studying lots of books/videos on makeup for film-

-such a lot of fun things you can do!

Any interesting books you're reading?

Today is the perfect day for curling up with a good one!
