Ugh.

I really like The Damnwells. I need to get another CD of theirs. The one I have is only an EP anyway with six songs.

I did a bit of work today, for reals yo. It just reminded me how much more work I have piled up in front of me.

Haven't left the house yet today and Wes just got home, so I suppose he'll want some time to relax. Maybe I'll go for a run while he and Kenton watch TV. That'd be nice. But first I have to eat something. Can I eat and run before it gets dark? Sigh. I haven't run since mid-July. Normally I exaggerate when I say I haven't been running for two months (I don't count Prague because who wants to run in Prague when they can stroll?), but this time it's more or less literal. Wow.

I'm sad that summer is pretty much over. Winter is just so ugh. I like being comfortable in jeans/shorts and a t-shirt. I do like long sleeved shirts, but I don't like jackets. They occupy so much space and are heavy. haha. Mostly though it's the light - it gets dark SO early in the winter. Even rain doesn't sound that appealing right now.

It's ok though. I am thankful to have four seasons where I'm living and to be able to escape this ridiculous humidity. I also enjoy tea and hot chocolate a lot, and I like it when I'm walking and night and the leaves blow around. One of the greatest things about the East Coast is that most all of the leaves change color and fall onto the street. I enjoy the sound they make when I walk through them and crunch them, and, of course, I love the way they look. Last year I remember taking a walk a few blocks away and just laying down on some grass that was covered in leaves. I looked up at the sky and the trees and it was beautiful. Those moments of beauty are worth it.

It all goes back to my love of the outdoors. One of the reasons filmmaking originally appealed to me was that I could be out and about all day. Now that I realize how much of a hassle traveling is, I'm sad. Maybe I could be a producer that goes out in the field sometimes? Sigh. I just love being outside, in any capacity. I__dont__know and I once discussed the need to get outside at least once a day. This is much harder to do in the winter because it's usually either cold, dark, or cold and dark. More hiking and star gazing and sunset watching and swimming in rivers is necessary. These will go on my mental to-do list. At least the sounds of the outdoors increase greatly in the winter. The whooshing of the wind and the rain...that's so cool.
