Rain Rain Go Away but don't come back cause I hate you and I'm sleeping with your girlfriend Sunny.

So I'm sitting there on my computer yesterday talking to J, and she mentions that it's a beautiful day out and that it's a shame I'm going to spend it locked inside playing WoW and not doing anything. Actually, she was the second person to tell me that already that day. About the day being beautiful, that is.
So I told her that I was considering doing something tomorrow, which is today now, if the weather were nice, and we made plans to meet to go to Yoyogi Park together to walk around.

And of course it rained. And I had already been where she was thinking of going with me. What started as a drizzle as I left my house deteriorated into a pull on downpour by the time I decided it was time to head home, apparently to J's chagrin. Stupid weather. By the time I got back to my home station is was full on typhoon, and my bag was soaked through and through.

Wait, David, don't you have a book and a phone and an iPod and a digital camera and a pack of gift cigarettes for Joy back home that J brought you back from Korea in your bag? Why yes, yes I do, but no matter, because I also happened to have won a small Sol (R) beer cooler while at lunch at El Torito today in Shibuya, thanks to the "Drink Mexican Beer" campaign going on currently at the aforementioned restaurant chain. All my essentials tucked away nicely in my newly acquired layer of waterproof (and temperature stable) beer carrying goodness and all was well. I mean, aside from the fact I was completely soaked by the time I got home, but, whatever.

September, for those of you who didn't know, is Campaign Month. It's when every single company regardless of how little sense it makes, has a Campaign of some sort, and not just like an ad campaign, or a sale or a promotion, I'm talking a full on capital C Campaign. For example, El Torito's "Drink Mexican Beer" Campaign, accompanied by what seems like MORE expensive Mexican beers, and ads EVERYWHERE, and a chance to win a variety of prizes upon purchasing said beer, as per my case, where I won the book/phone/iPod/camera saving beer cooler.

Nova's Campaign, for those of you who thought of it, is a red patch on the J-Staff's shoulders that says "Supporting Your Dream". That's it. No free beer coolers. They don't even hand out the patches. Actually come to think of it you basically don't get anything at all. But I mean, come on. It's Nova we're talking about here.
