SO MUCH SNOW LIKE SERIOUSLY OMG GUYS
8 INCHES OVERNIGHT.
So I probably won't be able to get back to Newport tomorrow (which had been the plan), but WHO CARES! It's perfect snow-man making, park sledging, extra crispy sticky transport destroying snow! It hasn't done this in Manchester for years, like, really, I can't remember it doing this since the time I sledged so much I dislocated my elbow (totally worth it btw). So what am I doing at the moment?... Typing on my computer and feeling like I have a beartrap lodged in my chest because one of my dogs just died. Ouch. It's, odd, I don't feel as uber-sad-traumatised as I thought I might, because it's been coming from a long way off for a long time- she was very old, and it was just getting unbearable to see her getting so thin from refusing to eat anything, so we had her put down this morning. The vet came over so she was happy and not in the least distressed, but, it's more seeing my other dog bombing around the house being all excited and then wondering where she is, and seeing my dad cry was... well, I haven't seen that for, well, ever.
So, big ole' rollercoaster of 'what the hell am I meant to be feeling at the moment' going on, but otherwise... well, what I am I meant to say otherwise? My grandma's cat is asleep on the bed next to me after gouging ot a chunk of my thigh and I keep getting this mad urge to run around the backyard in my pajamas with no shoes on... Oh! And went to see the Sherlock Holmes movie yesterday- I'm huge, HUGE fan of the books and have been since I was, like, nothing, so I'm not saying this lightly when I say that I loved it with a passion that could burn the skin off your FACE. Yes it was ridiculous, Holmes was a little OOC and holy crap explosions everywhere, but that's what is WAS and it embraced it and did its own goddamned thing, and I can only respect that. Insanely awesome music by Mr Zimmer once again and the gorgeously rendered credits and camera angles just made me so very happy and I was grinning like a loon on loon pills practically all the way through. If you haven't seen it and it's still out where you are GO it is amazing, and if you don't like it then you need to grow down by a few years.
Six year old immaturity verses confused nostalgia and grief says wut.
