Ooookay, winter, I know you just got here last week, but it's time for you to leave. The cold is bad enough, but the dry is even worse. This year, it's not just my legs, but basically my entire body that's turned into a red, scaly, itchy, flaky mess. Time to get a warm-steam humidifier, I guess, one that doesn't create a puddle on the carpet like my cold one.

Or, y'know, winter could leave. That would be my choice.

I'm aiming to not have so many blank dates on my little LJ calendar this month. I keep writing entries, rereading them, and deciding that even I find them too boring to read. Or I don't bother to finish them at all. So, in honor of that goal, a very long meme!

And another meme! I don't recall the exact text I've seen floating around, but the gist is: Ask me things. Ask me things from the utterly simple ("Where do you live?") to the extremely complicated ("In your opinion, what caused the fall of the Roman Empire?"). Heck, comment without asking questions. Just comment. I like seeing lots of little comment e-mails in my inbox.

While you do that, I'm off to finish reading Travels with Charley. And then I'm going to resume East of Eden, because it's set in warm, sunny California, and Travels with Charley, while it's very good, also has Steinbeck driving around in very cold weather, and that's doing nothing to help me think warm thoughts.
