soo..lately ive been thinking about wanting a kindle.. example thought---> "kindle. want. mmm..shiny book." but then i do a little research..and theres like TEN new kindle-esque options that came out this year or are coming out within a year or two... so, now i am all confused about what to do. and apparently Kindle doesnt have color capabilities...and that is a definite downside. mwreh. im kinda looking at the Sony Reader- the one with the touchscreen or the Reader Daily Edition which will have WIRELESS! i dunno..i just like the name 'Kindle'...it makes me think of reading in an overstuffed, worn leather recliner, warm, crackling flames in a fireplace... Sony Reader doesnt really evoke anything for me...dammit.
ahh..
so, today i went to the urgent care center up the street from my campus and got a physical! the physical took about five minutes...and they charged me QUITE a bit more than it was worth.. i was a big baby about the tuberculosis shot they gave me.. i whimpered the whole time. kind of a high-pitched whine a sad puppy would make if banished outside on a rainy day. the nurse, to her credit, didn't mock me. she was a nice 'sticker'.. meaning she didnt hurt me and she was quick about her business, which i appreciate. i thought i might pass out though right after she gave me the shot. hah. i really dont like to get shots. the needle doesnt bother me-pshhh-i stick myself sewing all the times, and its def not the blood-i heart dexter.. its just the anticipated pain that gets me. i. do. not. handle. physical. pain. very. well. if someone looks at me wrong i bruise..hah. after the shot i said, "whooo..." and kind of wobbled on the butcher-paper covered hospital bed- or the room wobbled-im still not sure. the nurse probably thought i was some kinda batshit crazy. ohhh well...
i got to wear my plaid blazer that is all firey autumny colors!! its dark brown with pumpkin orange and yellow and cream stripes! and i wore the cognac colored scarf my grandma knitted me two christmases ago-its made out of this delectable knobbly yarn.. i didnt realize that my scarf matched my purse too.. ive been complimented thrice today..by two different girls in my literacy class, and by the nurse who 'sticked' me.. compliments are nice when they are random and sincere :) even tho i dont really like being all "matchy"... one of my neuroses?
winter is coming on quickly this year.. kind of pleasant and kind of frightening.. winter around mid-february (once the valentine's day hearts and chocolate-endorphins wear off) reaps the soul of my consciousness and warm-cocoa feelings.. however, i am excited and entirely positively anticipatory!
There are these things I lurv about the coming season:
* walking briskly through grey atmosphere all bundled up
* the sounds of boots clacking on cold pavement (cold pavement has its own sound)
* warm jackets
* scarves in abundance- i have two new scarfy-proyectos in the works!
* trees on fire with fall changes!
* crunchy, crackly leaves to go out of my way to stomp on! (hah, member that facebook group?)
* luminarias
* hot cocoa
* homemade pumpkin-spice coffees
* hot-water bottles
* camping in late-october, early-november (hah, who else knows 'the early november' is a band? i wonder if they ever made it...probably...i never listen to the radio or watch mtv so i wouldnt know)
* electric blankets (although im too paranoid to use them.. i still like the idea of them)
* pumpakins
* pumpkin patches
* pumpkin pies
* carving pumpkins
* pumpkin seeds
* jack-o-lanterns
* BAKING!
* halloween & thanksgiving& jenbot and tracy's bday! and now jenbot's BABY'S BDAY!
* crackling fires
* snuggling
* cuddles
* schpooning
* schnoozling (read: david the gnome)
* my purring furry naughty basement kitteh, dr. horrible
* the first snowfall!
* and all consequent pristine snowfalls!
* snow on christmas, new years (eve and day), my birthdae, and valentines day
* christmas! new years eve & day!
* my bday
* valentines day! i still heart buying harry potter or hello kitty valentines and giving them to all my friends! forget the adult evils of the day and enjoy the splendid things like kiddy valentimes or making lacy-vintage papery valentines for your friends and/or lover(s) and the chocolate! ohhh the chocolate!
ohhh the coming wonders! and its all just now begun!!!

ReplyDeleteps. the sony reader is pretty sweet. they make lovely leather cases for them so they look/feel like real books when you carry them around. plus, reading in bed is sooooooooo much easier when you don't have to constantly shift position in order to find the light.
okay-leather cases-i think im sold :)
ReplyDeleteand im so glad you can comment now!!! yay!
