California has decided that being known as "the Golden State" is not okay anymore. Neither is being referred to as "the State With Climate," or "that Place Where We Don't Wash Away." No, it's time for my normally mellow homeland to prove it can be bad-ass and bust of the GIANT FUCKING STORMS that rage across the land one after another, like summer blockbusters jockeying for domination of the box office. These storms even come in real 3-D, thus proving that they're The Very Latest Thing.
I know that I'm the Rain King and all, but seriously, people, a girl has limits. And when I need to carry two pairs of dry socks in my purse, my limits have been reached.
What's sad is that California has been in a state of drought for quite some time now, and we really need the rain. But when you dump all the rain on us at the same damn time, it doesn't do any good. The ground can't absorb it, the reservoirs can't hold it, and it all winds up running off into the sea...which, by the way, had plenty of water already. Just in case you were wondering. These storms are insane, and they're not showing any signs of stopping. Meanwhile, half the country is experiencing Snowpocalypse II.
But global climate change is a myth, kiddies. Now strap on those waders and make sure you carry thermal underwear and a bikini everywhere you go, just in case the myth decides to make like Zeus and slap the ever-loving shit out of you for no particular reason anyone can see.
In other news, I am deeply damp, and deeply irritated about this fact. But I bet you were able to pick up on all that, huh?
weather,
crankiness,
grumpiness
