Now comes the time of ice and frost
Of wind and violence.
Of slow death and muted decay.

The time of scarves and gloves
And visual voices puffing and breaking through the ice.

Frigid lips and limbs
And ringing bells calling
Among commuters.

Ignored, acknowledged, and sometimes answered.

I feel as though if I had you here
I would have no idea

Also dreamy and a Chicago boy! Have you seen Grosse Point Blank? Excellent movie.

What else do you like? You must keep me sane at work.

[dondraper1990]

A friend told me that Grosse Point Blank has one of the top 50 film scripts ever. Love Jeremy Piven in it.

[dondraper1990]

Also, German New Wave is great. Love Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Wim Wenders. Drugstore Cowboy by Gus Van Sant also rocks pretty hard.

Wings of Desire is a GREAT movie. Have you ever been to the states?

[dondraper1990]

Unfortunately, not yet. Do have plans to come round in either Jan or Feb.

[reluctantdagny]

Well that's awesome, do you have family here?

[dondraper1990]

They're in upstate New York. Although this may be the case, i've a greater urge for Chicago...

[reluctantdagny]

Do it. It will be cold and miserable but, you know. It will be a learning experience since I am pretty sure you don't have snow in Australia.

Do you have skype?

[dondraper1990]

I find snow lovely. We have beautiful snow in our Victorian alps in Mount Hotham and Falls Creek. Quite epic, but nothing compared to Aspen or St. Moritz. I was going to ask you the same about Skype, though I was intimidated whether you would think of me as a creep of the cyber variety. Been meaning to establish one as a couple of people have asked me...

[reluctantdagny]

I'm pretty sure all you have is Australia, which is beautiful but there's no snow. Kangaroos and kookaburras though!

NOPE.

I mean, don't expect to see my face but we could totally chat it up.

I have a headset! Just like at work.

Ha that's sad.

[dondraper1990]

I just don't want to be appearing as nonsensical or silly. Unfortunately I don't have a webcam, but would love to carry the conversation in something like Skype. What could possibly be wrong with your face?

[reluctantdagny]

Why not? I am nonsensical and silly all the time. It keeps me off the edge.

Hurray!

Well nothing when there is a bag over it. No, I kid, I'm like 80% sure there is nothing wrong with my face.

[dondraper1990]

Is the remaining 20% just doubt? I am needing to tend to things this afternoon, I shall get back to you with a Skype contact soon. Just need to set one up. I've come up with a trifle prose just now. Stay tuned, my dear.

From the future,
Frank L.

Well I never want to be 100% certain of anything, always leave a little wiggle room. This pleases me, this getting back to me with the skype! I will, as ever, remain vigilant and ever watchful.

You are from the future! Amazing! How space age.
