I've been having a lot of terrible nightmares lately. They're the kind where I wake up in the middle of the night and feel like crying. After a particularly vivid one last night involving horrifying radiation mutations, I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. It was snowing outside ( Read more... )

It has been snowing all morning. The weather report swears it's just sleet, but I've never seen more snow-like snow. It's not sticking though, thank God. I have stuff to do today.

The thing about snow is that it's completely silent as it falls, but you can tell it's snowing even before you look out the window because you can feel it. As soon as I ( Read more... )

After the initial realization, I always grab the clock and hold it close to my face in disbelief, then shake it hard ( Read more... )

It is a gorgeous day. Hot as hell, but not a cloud in the bright, cerulean sky. Makes me wish I were anywhere except cooped up in this office. To think I could be at the beach, out biking, or doing anything other than sitting here on my butt... Ah well. The things I do for a paycheck ( Read more... )

Friday I finally broke down and turned on my air conditioner. Goodbye to my wonderful 2,500 yen electric bills. It has just gotten way too hot, even at night. Thursday night I slept very badly and woke up drenched in sweat. Boo. Still, I'm much more comfortable now than I was in winter. This time six months ago I was shivering under four blankets ( Read more... )
