Monochrome
Feb. 11th, 2005 05:04 pmThe weather is terrible. It's windy and drizzly and chilly and grey. Typical February day, really. (I always feel a bit disloyal when I criticize February, as my birthday is in the month, but it and January really do have more than their share of nasty days.) Made worse by the Guild travel office not having any internet access and thus being unable to sell us tickets for our next class trip to London, so we had to walk into town to get them. And then I promptly forgot to ask if we could go ahead and buy the train/bus/admission to Leeds Castle from London while we were there. Argh. Another trip to the Guild office!
So, yes, was in a bad mood this afternoon, but seeing a few more daffodils (two-toned ones this time! Orange and yellow! Still haven't seen any white-and-yellows, which are my favorites, though) in someone's front patch of green on the way back to campus lifted my spirits some, as did the pretty fall of plum tree blossoms that happened as I was walking up the alley back to Lafrowda.
I've had the soundtrack to The Village (which I still haven't seen) stuck in my head all day. It really goes quite well with this weather. Lots of frantically-somber violins and flutes and things.
Oh, and I managed to get my hands ona copy of "Threads." Will ramble about that and "The Seige" later on. Will also reply to comments later, too. Maybe once I get some dinner...
