Rain City

It’s dark outside. I watched two episodes of The O.C. back to back tonight—bought the season one box set today, along with both soundtracks, which felt like either a treat or a bad sign depending on how the evening went. Rain City by Turin Brakes is playing now and it fits the mood so precisely I can’t tell if the mood made me choose the song or the song made the mood.

I don’t want to write about my day. This is the whole entry: a few minutes of sitting with the melancholy and the music, not knowing what to do with either. I don’t know if we’re both going to make it through this year.
