the sky is completely white today. im unaccustomed to this phenomenon. i'm in a sweater thinking i should be drinking mulled wine and watching some halloween-themed block of programming on the disney channel. instead i'm eating bagel halves topped with mozzarella cheese and fried eggs. lots of fat involved, but i think i can handle it, since i haven't eaten anything besides cheez-its and popcorn sporadically over a 3 day period.
a song just came on that reminds me of christmases 99-01 spent with my brother fighting over who got the good [wireless] microphone during our annual living room holiday review. this particular time period included various selections from the soundtrack to 'drive me crazy'. the way the weather is here in oakland is essentially what wintertime is in florida. if only i was going to by cheap christmas lights at wal-mart before meeting old friends at denny's to sit and laugh amongst the white trash. then we would drink blue cocktails and drive through the neighbourhood, videotaping holiday light displays to send to our senile grandparents.
but i've still got months to go! norcal, you toy with me. your bait-and-switch policies on just about everything are wearing me down. weather especially. 7 days ago i was lying down on my deck in my underwear getting a tan. today i'm dressed like i'm visiting relatives in philadelphia for new years and drinking hot tea at the kitchen table.
