Tuesday, December 14, 2004 I'm so chill, no wonder it's freezing....Well, it wouldn't be a frigid winter if the heat in our apartment actually worked. I wouldn't appreciate the modern marvels of heating and cooling technology until all I hear is the useless whirring of a furnace that just can't kick itself on. And I made the mistake of being out from underneath the covers in my bed long enough for any heat that I had been squandering and carefully saving overnight to flee and rejoin the rest of the frosty air. I think an invention I'm going to start working on patenting is a nose warmer. The intuition of gloves. The brilliance of earmuffs. So why is it that my nose is not given the same kind of loving, I-want-to-keep-you-warm attention? Because that's really the only part of me that's significantly cold right now. I'm weighing the option of wrapping a scarf around my head, but I haven't figured out the whole breathing thing yet. An obstacle that the nose warmer would surely address. Note: current apartment thermostat reading: 51 degrees. Insert expletive here!
Tuesday weekend recap: word of the weekend? Low key. Or lowkey. There. Lots of pretending to study for exams that are this evening. Lots of getting sucked into America's Next Top Model marathons. Babysitting nieces and nephews. Attending a get together with a friend to watch the Lions lose in classic last-half-of-the-4th-quarter style. Other than that, it was actually really nice to sleep and be very relaxed.
Well, back to that studying for exams thing. I don't know if I've ever been more sick of being in school than I am lately. It will probably be compounding itself with each passing semester. Ugh. Alright. Have a warm and toasty day!
