Music for a rainy day in Edinburgh.

Although I know I should really get used to this kind of weather, today is really only the second or third day since I got here where it has really rained. As in, more than a drizzle or a light rain. It's one of those days when the fog comes in around Arthur's Seat and the wind starts endangering everyone's umbrellas, and where I just want to curl up in an easy chair with some hot chocolate and watch movies all day.

Alas - I have to do laundry at some point today, and should probably try and get some of the online reading done for my lectures. I should also probably go to the Travel Fair they're having at the IFSA-Butler Scotland office today, but I honestly don't feel like walking the couple of miles to and from in the rain.

However - in addition to my laundry and coursework, I feel like an afternoon of staying in, watching episodes of Robin Hood (the most recent BBC TV series), and eating leftover pizza from the IFSA dinner last night is a GREAT idea. And since I really only seem able to communicate through other people's music, I will share with you all the music that I've been listening to recently that I think really encapsulates the experience of a rainy day in Edinburgh.
