What's your favorite rainy day activity?
Hot chocolate/tea and a book and a fuzzy blanket. Cider works too.

Oh, and baking chocolate chip cookies on a rainy day is pure heaven.

Taking naps with my dog.

Snuggling under a warm blanket and reading with tea or other warm beverage. Or watching funny movies.

I like vacuuming. And making hearty soups.

Couch. Blanky. Tea. Book.

That's four entire months in Seattle.

I like watching movies, or getting lost in a first person shooter, loaded up on god cheats, so I don't have to worry about dying, or ammo.

That made me laugh, mat. Ah, memories of living in Vancouver...

richat, I don't think I understand most of your first sentence. Is that video game jargon?

I like biking in the rain. Or soccer. Or walks.

I love rain (and loved Vancouver in the wintertime).

Not to answer for richat, but yes. Let me translate: I like watching movies, or playing a particular kind of videogame (typified by Doom, Halo, etc.) in which the player views the action through the eyes of the protagonist, and runs around shooting things. These games are especially amusing when I adjust the configuration options so that my in-game alter ego is both invincible to damage (from falling into pits of lava, being attacked by other characters, etc.) and possessed of an unlimited supply of ammunition.

I'm with bonehead, I love walking in the rain.

Went downtown, is just to ease my pain,
I ended up out walkin' in the rain.
Took my pistol and a hunnit dolla' bill;
Had ev'ythin' I need to get me kilt.

I don't distinguish rainy day activities. Being from Portland, these are the rule, not the exception. Therefore, pretty much every activity is a rainy day activity. Now, sunny days, that's a different story. In college, we'd have a "sunny day keg" on the porch of the Student Union, on rare times when the sun visited.

/me kicks back on the steps of the SU, toasts pi for "sunny day keg" reference.

Sex. I can't be the only one?
posted by stilicho 10 May | 13:33
Sleeping. And sex.

I don't think I could live in Portland or Seattle. I need the sun too much. Rain turns me into a gargoyle.

Thanks for the translation, box! I thought that's what was going on there ...
posted by initapplette 10 May | 14:28
@box - ha! Perfect translation!

I like to nap, read, watch movies and/or play EverQuest.
