i don't understand people.
Everyone's like, "oh, our gosh, it's going to get COLD!" We already had a cold snap a couple weeks ago and this is forecast to be only 5 degrees colder, so I don't know what the big deal is. I will be walking to work tomorrow, but I have a good set of warm clothes, my collection recently augmented with a bomber hat (synthetic fur inside, tweed outside, for the utmost in irony and dorkiness), the world's ugliest boots, and the awesomest wool socks ever. I traded my Smartwool socks for these, and my sister and I both think we got the better part of that deal. They are old and don't have any brand or logo on them, but they're magical: I can wear them with my running shoes that are half-mesh, walk through snow, go inside and let the snow melt on the socks, and my feet STILL stay warm. HAH. _kli_: 1, Winter: 0.
Now, back to another lovely evening of Chilling The Eff Out. This is what I do, & it is sweet.
EDIT 01.13.09 11:15pm: I did three walks outside today; it was fine. It's only 12 below right now and it's not windy. It was definitely colder a couple weeks ago. I like the new hat b/c it keeps my ears from going numb, which none of my other hats could do. The insides of your ears freezing is *really painful.* Thank you, Ragstock, for my new hat.
