pleased precariously

I have a whole set of dry skin stuff ready for the winter. Thick, thick hand cream. Moisturizer for the face, Burt’s Bees for the lips. Saline spray for the nose. I even bought a humidifier. A warm mist one.

I plugged it in the other day, turned it on high, closed my bedroom door, and fell asleep. I woke up the next morning and the room was a sauna. Easily 20 degrees warmer in there than elsewhere in the house. The windows were completely fogged up. I peeled back the sheets and comforter and walked over to them with a towel. The soft white blanket of the first real snow of the season greeted me with each squeaky swipe of the towel.

currently stuck on Magnolia Electric Company:

(18:35:50) Me: greenland is everything ending in "-aq"
(18:35:57) Me: "Quannaq" and stuff
(18:36:07) Annette: as in, "ack! it’s fucking freezing!"
(18:36:09) Me: yeah
(18:36:20) Me: I think every name of a town up there is a different word for "cold" or "snow"
(18:36:49) Annette: you know, eskimos have seven different words for "close the damn door before we die of the draft"
(18:36:56) Me: I think "Quannaq" actually means "the cold you feel when you forget to zip up and walk back outside from the john"
(18:37:18) Annette: Quan, the root word, refers to the very smallest of icicles
(18:37:21) Me: haha

I love my new vegan t-shirt. I love how soft it is, how the sleeves fit just right and are a little tight and make my scrawny arms feel muscular.

I also love wearing it when I eat bacon.
