Liese, my lizard brain still operates on the wait it out. But nsm reality. I DRIVE to snow, and then leave it, damnit. I've had to reframe.
This must be what going mad feels like.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. It's funny for me, because growing up just off Lake Erie in northern Ohio, I believe fundamentally that it snows in fall and stays there until spring. But at this point I've lived out here long enough that I just assume it's going to be clear soon and all I have to do is tuck in for a bit. I don't even check the forecast, really. It's so lovely and sunny even when it's cold.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm watching Happy Feet. This is a very odd little movie.
It gets odder.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Gifts are wrapped, laundry done... nothing packed. My dad seems to think I should arrive before dark. Um, it's a 9 hour drive. We don't get that much daylight tomorrow and I am not a morning person.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm watching Threesome. I have no idea how I watched this in the theatre. The entire thing is watch from the hall.

Happy Feet is on here too.
Just finished baking a gross of soft ginger cookies. Need to clean the kitchen before I go to bed, but I'm taking a kitchen break first.

Oh, was at Target earlier (didn't make it out under the $100 mark, darn it). I was looking at the DVD's and saw A Miracle on 34th St on sale, so I grabbed it. I did look to make sure it was the Natalie Wood version.
When I got home, I went to pop it in and kicked myself cause I realized it was the colorized version. BUT, once I opened the case I discovered it is a two disc set and one of the "extra's" is the original version. Yay!

I always liked miracle on 34th street. As Connie Willis notes, everyone who helps Santa has a logical reason for doing so. The hero advances his career as a lawyer, and gets a shot at the heroine. The heroine is advancing her corporate career and keeping the peace with her little girl. There are sound political reasons for various decisions the judge and prosecutor make. And so forth.
