december...

december is coming, and with it (if the weather forecasts don't lie), snow! whee! though i'm not as fond of the freezing rain part that seems to be preceding it.

i'm really enjoying Last.fm (thanks for the idea, messiahdivine!) i'm not sure why - maybe it's the curiosity factor, or the idea of seeing what everyone else is listening to. we'll see how much bandwidth it takes up, but it all sounds rather fun. =)

and now, to bed!

oh, the weather outside is frightful...

i wish it was snowing. later, they say, it might. but for now, this mess called freezing rain is bouncing off our umbrellas and making the ground just a little bit more dangerous. i actually got all the way to the bus stop this morning, then decided to turn around and come home. i'd not only forgotten to get out my winter jacket this morning (which has been on standby for a few weeks since our weather has been so frightfully warm), i hadn't had time to take a shower, or to read my email, or generally to do any of the early-morning ritual stuff that usually ease me into my day.

so the first plan of the day has already been cancelled due to my overriding need to be warm, clean, and familiar with the world around me. =) i feel kinda bad, cause i said i'd join them for this bus tour/project presentation/class outing, but honestly? i just don't wanna.

so instead, my day will consist of a surely wonderful lunch with the charming meallanmouse, a few hours of quiet writing, and an evening of xmas shopping/art appreciation at the Salon des Metiers d'Arts. this sounds much more to my liking.

and for some reason, i'm either less picky with music than i usually am, or i've just achieved a new appreciation for the stuff i've been listening to for years. every single track on my mp3 player yesterday was exactly what i wanted to hear, and now winamp is being psychic. hm.
