Xmas. Rain. Tron.

I'm in the mood for Christmas. The Christmas spirit is officially in me. Christmas 2010 is around the corner, and it's difficult to come up with unique Christmas gifts. I haven't come up with a Christmas list or anything official, but I have hinted at what I want.

Rainy day in Seattle, WA.

It has been raining all day and it rarely rains where I live. I've got rain on my mind:

• When it rains it pours. Don't rain on my parade. It's raining men.

• "Singing in the Rain." I used to love this movie as a kid. This is truly a great classic with awesome costumes.
• "November Rain" by Guns N Roses. I adore this song. It didn't really rain in November though. 

 "Nothin' lasts forever and we both know hearts can change,

And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain."

Rain puddles in Athens, Greece.

• "Purple Rain" by Prince. Hmm...I prefer "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix.
• "No Rain" by Blind Melon.

"And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape."

• "A Year Without Rain" by Selena Gomez. Not really my thing, but it wasn't so awful.

Things that are interesting to me:

After the rain in Vienna, Austria.

• Senate has voted to end the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. That's kinda progressive. Thank goodness.
• TRON: Legacy. I feel nerdy saying this, but this actually looks really good. After I saw the TRON: Legacy trailer, I couldn't resist. I love Jeff Bridges and the visual effects look spectacular.
• Christmas countdown. This is awesome, maybe it should be my screensaver. Christmas is coming so soon! I can't believe it.
• Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds split. Aw. How sad, I was looking forward to seeing if the Scarnolds kids would be cuter than Brangelina's. However, this is mainly a good thing, because now I can have Ryan all to myself.

Since it's is gloomy, I just want to cozy up with some delicious instant hot chocolate and watch movies from my instant Netflix queue. Sounds like the perfect way to spend my vacation.
