Cat-bus

The days without rain have been so incredibly hot and humid, that when rain comes, especially in the night, it feels strangely out of place. And sort of apocalyptic. Even more so when it comes with thunder and strong howling wind. And it's howling because there's an unseen gap in my windows that I obviously can't seal. Anyhow, when I stand at my windows and look at the big trees below, it's quite incredible to see them sway under the force of the wind.

I wondered what it'll be like to be in the middle of that. Like, straddling on one those branches and feeling the swaying, submitting to the unseen. Of course, disregard the fact that I'm acrophobic.

The swaying of the huge trees, mainly reminded me of Totoro, in which the strong passing winds were actually caused by the cat-bus passing through.

Ironically, when it rains, I can't have my windows open. Both because the rain will get in, and it's simply too noisy with the rain hitting on the air-con unit outside my window. Oh well, nice to have rain anyhow.
