Looks like the whole country's in the freezer with us....

Stay warm, everyone...I feel the freezin'...it's 10 below outside, and it won't get better even over the weekend..Brrrrr.

Outside is not a good place to be right now. Even with bubbles.

I had this strange and awful dream last night...I was on a date with someone, where it was changing from the Not-very-going-well-date to the uh-oh,-I-think-I'm-out-with-a-slimy-creep-date. It took some waking up on my part, much longer than usual. I'm still pretty sleepy. *yawns hugely*

A bit from Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" I really like....

...The occasional cars that roared past him seemed unreal: spaceships, little freeze-dried packages of metal and glass, inhabited by people dressed more warmly than he was. An old song his mother had loved, "Walking in a Winter Wonderland," began to run through his head, and he hummed it through closed lips, kept pace to it a he walked.
He had lost all sensation in his feet. He looked down at his black leather shoes, at the thin cotton socks, and began, seriously, to worry about frostbite.
This was beyond a joke. this had moved beyond foolishness, slipped over the line into genuine twenty-four-carat Jesus-Christ-I-screwed-up-big-time territory. His clothes might as well have been netting or lace: The wind blew through him, froze his bones and the marrow in his bones, froze the lashes of his eyes, froze the warm place under his balls, which were retreating into his pelvic cavity.
"Keep walking," he told himself. "Keep walking I can stop and drink a pail of air when I get home. A Beatles song started in his head, and he adjusted his pace to match it. It was only when he got to the chorus that he realized he was humming, "Help.".....




I need to go put on extra socks now. Right now.
*shiver shiver shiver*
