cold weather makes me feel . . .

Cold weather makes me feel... cold. Really cold. So cold I just can't do anything but curl up under a blanket. So cold, I can't think straight. So cold the creative stream that usually flows from my brain has stagnated. And it hurts. It hurts when the creativity can't get out. Almost as much as it hurts when it flows more freely than I have time to act on it.

But I shouldn't complain about cold. It makes me think maybe global warming hasn't taken a firm hold on us just yet. But tell that to the daffodils shivering in my yard. There are buds on my trees, too. I'm pretty darn happy about that. Can you believe it's late February?!

Good movies on TBS today. Actually, Back to the Future II was nice. Jumanji and Jerry McGuire were annoying. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou is on now. I love that movie. Love, love it. I mean, how do you think of something like that? The story of Ulysses told in a parallel 1930s southern universe. The colors and cinematography... the music... LOVE the music, one of my favorite albums. And oddly enough, the movie being on tv is quite timely, as I just had a dream a night or two ago about George Clooney. And he was singing. Who knows where my dreams come from!

But at least it's not cold in this movie... I can forget for a moment that it's cold outside. I need to get outside. Get my hands in the ground. There was a 45 degree day a week or so ago that I pretended was actually warm. That lasted only about an hour. :-)

Saw Delerium last night... it was SO GOOD. A fabulous multi-media event. Such a great blend of music, acrobats, costumes, and giant screen imagery! I went with my mom, my aunt, and my cousin Jessica... she's 12. This is her telling a joke. This is what the cat looked like at the moment of impact. (lol)

She's pretty sweet. I think she thinks her Memaw's side of the family is looney tunes though. Well, if you have to judge by me and my mom, you'd probably come to that conclusion, too.

So I'm not watching any Olympics. My dear husband, John, had curling on today, but I think it was only to laugh at it. Plus, it's too cold to compete athletically!! Or even think about it.

Alright I am actually very busy this evening... I am making a cheat sheet of all my fonts so I can decide in a glance what font to use. I think it will save me time when my creativity is back to flowing.
