How long can a country go without rain? It seems a long time since it last rained here, and I can't reconcile this to news of constant rain back home. I don't miss the rain. I just feel disconnected from home.

I'm in love with disco Madonna. On auto-repeat now is her song "Sorry". The first time I heard it I know I've got to run listening to it looping without end. If only I can load it into my iPod now.
