When It Rains

Hung over from last night, head pounding, and now it’s warm and muggy outside—the kind of weather that makes a hangover worse. Can’t shake it.

GIGA’s closing on Monday. It’s this German tech and gaming channel I’ve been half-paying attention to forever, and somehow knowing it’s just disappearing felt heavier than I expected. So yesterday, when I couldn’t stop thinking about it and the hangover was making everything feel shitty anyway, I drove down to Munich with Becca, Mille, and his girlfriend Annette. Spent too much money trying not to think about it.

I did the usual thing—grabbed The Sims, some Ai Otsuka albums because her music gets to me, a magazine on character design in Illustrator. Way too expensive. I’ll probably only use half of it, but the parts I do use might help me finally make something I’ve been thinking about. Sometimes that’s enough.

Rain the whole drive back. Still going now. There’s something honest about a day where the weather just matches what you’re feeling, even if it all sucks.
