Those Pacific (yeah right!) storms really mean business, don't they? For over 36 hours now the view from my window has been a steady stream of water flowing down to the road. Thank goodness I live on a hill and the drainage around here seems to be up to the job. I'm no stranger to rain, but this really has been a storm of biblical proportions. Downtown L.A. has had nearly 6 inches of rain, and around 12.20 last night I was woken by the weather. I looked out and saw a torrent gushing down the hill. It must have been chucking it down at the rate of about 6 inches an hour! Luckily it only stays this heavy for 10-15 minutes at a time. It's sporadically heavy today, and set to continue into tonight. Hopefully by the weekend it'll be mostly cleared up.

Tsunami's and never ending rainstorms. Maybe someone cocked up the ol' calender in ancient times and 2005 is actually the real prophesied millenium disaster kicking off =/
Not the happiest way to see in the new year ; ;
Hopefully, here's to improved relations as the various nations work together on helping the disaster victims.
