this whole daylight savings time is messing with me. i walk out of work at 4pm to go home and i don't know if it's semi-dark because the weather is poopy or if it's semi-dark because it's supposed to be dark soon. huh. and if it's just semi-dark because the weather is yucky, then i wish it would just rain already, because i'm not digging this *dreary* motif. well, i don't wish it to rain on the trick-or-treat-ers. it's more like i wish i wasn't so affected by the weather. gray days really make me want to do nothing. my brother tried to get me to run today at 6:45pm. okay...#1: it was dark. dark dark. like the middle of the night dark. ##2: it's cold. i feel snow threatening halloween. #3: it's devil's night. "only to schoennher and back," he says. 3 miles?! ha. maybe to conehead it's *just three miles*. i told him i'd rather do 1000 sit ups than run a mile. but i should do something active. i feel myself turning into a slug. mindless and slow-moving. i can't wait to go to chicago this weekend. i'm ridiculously excited--practically giddy. practically. i get to hang out with my greatest friends, including ny and lorie who i hardly ever get to hang out with together, and see 2xs (bunso's debut!) and funktion perform. i better sleep now cuz i probably won't be getting any this weekend....
