I honestly always fall on the side of warm dressy coat. Though I've never lived anywhere truly cold for long periods of time.
but I am watching the AUGHH FOOTBALL.
I think I turned it on cause I miss my dad and I'd guess this is what he has on right now. I am totally lost on the season but I know the basic rules of football so I can follow the game, just not what it ~means~ or what should be happening based on historical data.
Like my brother watches racing.
Except I know not to talk too much. Or ask questions when I don't care about the answers.
I just don't want anything heavy or too bulky. I HAVE that. It's a love/hate relationship.
I wanna kick Stafford's ass in a dark alley. And I think I could. Is that so wrong?
Not me, to goddamned much time. It's for wearing to get from point A to B. There is something comical about barely having room in a locker at the gym for all the damned clothes you have on (and you are changing into a swimsuit) or knocking over the cube wall with the bulk of your outerwear....
Why do I always want to spend money after spending a bunch of money during the holidays??
Sara, check Land's End's down stuff. It goes on sale and that is when I got my calf length hooded coat, so light and so warm and will not smell like wet dog when wet.
The tree is un-lighted and half down and I am watching Feautball.
Perkins, report. please.
My winter coat is so bulky, but it is seriously warm. I would like to buy a nice looking coat, but I'm not sure I'm that sort of person, because then I would probably go out and tromp around in the mud. My mother in law did give me a really lovely (secondhand, but still) leather jacket this Christmas. I should try that out.
I do want to do the post holiday spending thing and I really really can't afford to. For me it is just city hangover, because I just don't get exposed to the advertising and the stores and the buildup of
I wanting
stuff so much. But now I'm home and I still want.
Would a down coat squish down small to fit in your locker? That sounds like a good idea.
Don't get spendy, Liese! There will still be stuff you want when it is a more responsible time to spend (unless right now IS a more responsible time to spend, I don't know your financial life, I'm just assuming).
Apparently, I don't sweat the playoffs. I'm enjoying the hell out of this game but it isn't stressing me out. Nice.
I'm watching Avatar out of the corner of my eye, and some of the graphics are really really beautiful, but it screams of so much wish fulfillment. This is why I used to write fantasy stories before I turned ten. It's better written than those, but seems like it's coming from exactly the same (not actually interesting outside of yourself) place. No, that's not accurate. It just seems more like primal impulses than like an actual story yet.
But it's *really* pretty. It must have been amazing in 3D.
