cold feet


no, this not a post about fear of commitment. it's really about cold feet. it's cold out here dammit. last night as i was walking back from the train station at 2am in -4 degree weather wearing far too few layers, i seriously considered the value of hibernation. if i could figure out a way to do it, i'd snooze yogi bear style and forget that winter ever happened. cold for an iraqi is catching some shade on a 130 degree day; i'm not made for this.

and speaking of feet, i really need a new sock collection. it's official: i'm going back to tube socks. i know, this is a shocking announcement to many, and this may kill a lot of my street cred in the fashion world, but i've gotta do it. i can be fashionable when the sun comes back out... in march 2006! and with that, i am initiating a moratorium on fashion till further notice.

tube socks, earmuffs, mittens , winter boots, thermals, 5+ layers--it's all part of the package. there's a time in every man's life when he must sacrifice. my time has now come.

welcome back! i'm not going to lie, ali. i did check your blog quite a few times during your hiatus, only to be disappointed by that lingering picture of paris hilton in pink boots...

anyhow, i feel your pain. today it was like 65 degrees here. i almost didn't get out of bed this morning. as a matter of fact, i'm sitting by the fireplace as i speak. it's rough out there, so you wear those thermals with pride. now please excuse me while i warm myself with some hot tea and chicken soup...
