Flurries and Frivolities

This post is especially tragic given how hyper I was yesterday! It's a little bit of a disappointment, really. But I'm determined to metaphorically hike up my sleeves and get to metaphorical work.

The view from my bus stop. It was desolate, to say the least. A nice post-apocalyptic touch.

Today the Midwest saw a sudden KABOOM of snow... that was less of a kaboom, more of a quiet, guerilla-attack blizzard. It has been snowing nonstop all day, which looks very beautiful when one's inside (Michelle said how she's "in a snow globe," which describes it perfectly). Outside, however, is an entirely different matter. Outside involves heavy boots and shoveling. Enough. Said.

What's Lovely for January 7, 2010: Learning random, interesting facts about your friends. Today at work, I found out that my friend Lydia went to the same high school as the little guy who played Anakin Skywalker in the Phantom Menace. Yeah, that guy! Apparently he didn't take to all the attention too well, which I can see. It's hard to always be chipper if guys sing the Darth Vader theme song whenever you were around, right? (though I do like that song, I can't lie)

The rich, warm colors of this alcove bed just BECKONS to be hibernated in. There are other wonderful beds here, go looklooklook if you so please.

And now I just want to curl up into bed-- particularly THIS bed-- and dream about clothes and soft snow that doesn't stick and other magical things.

I love fun. (with a period) and this song has been stuck in my head lately. It's very calming, which is ironic, since roman candles are the opposite of that.


Hopefully a more inspired outfit post will appear in the near future, I can feel it!
