As usual, I realize it's been quite a while since my latest post. Before, it was the heart of fall, and now, I find myself writing this at the crux of winter. Speaking of which, I am slightly annoyed with this particular season.
Now usually, I absolutely ADORE winter...the cold, the grey skies, the tactful layering of warm clothes and of course, hot caffeinated beverages. Sooo romantic, but in a non-romantic way. But since yesterday, I have been super frustrated with my lack of ability to stay warm. Unfortunately, my room at home is part of the roof, so it doesn't have as good of insulation as the rest of the house. And for some reason, the heater doesn't work as well with the door shut, so if I really want to get warm air circulating, I have to prop the door wide open : / . I even closed the shutters to keep the cold from seeping in, but as a little test, I walked up to the window and actually felt the cold seeping in from the CRACKS of the shutter. >:[ Imagine my frustration! I just wish I could stay warm without weighing myself down with several pounds of shirts, hoodies and a coat. Don't get me wrong, winter is still my favorite season, but I just wish I could not feel dry/burning skin when I go outside. And to my dismay, I just discovered that my parents are jetting off to Hawaii in the dead of January, while I'll be in Boston. Oh well, the Boston thing is my fault...I knew what I was getting into when I applied, unfortunately.
Anyways, that is what has been on my mind as of most recently. Right now I'm enjoying the new Stars album, "The Five Ghosts." I'm in a bit of a musical muddle right now–I haven't been able to get my hands on any new material lately. But I am still content with Belle and Sebastian and Stars...together, the might quite the lovely pair. I've been too lazy to dive into the latest up and coming bands, so I've just been enjoying some old favorites :] .
