clink clink clink
so, it is cold out. c. o. l. d. proof, that it is cold out:
1) i have been home for an hour and i am still warming up.
2) my fingers are still stiff, which is inhibiting my ability to type proiperklyt.
3) when i am outside, my lungs hurt.
4) when i am outside and am carrying hot tea (in an effort to stay warm), the tea that sloshes out of my overfilled cup (overfilled because i am greedy for warmth, any kind of warmth, so GOD HELP ME) and lands on my jacket won't rub off. why won't it rub off? because somewhere in the death-leap those drops of tea decided to take, they FROZE. and they landed on my coat and wouldn't let go, cuz they were STUCK there. FUSED. fused with their icy properties to the warm fuzziness of my winter coat.
5) when i am walking outside, i can hear this clink, clink, clink. those are my frozen nose hairs bonking against each other, people.
other than that, everything else seems normal. my brain is working fine, i have a lot of work to do, i am trying to stave off a sore throat that seems to re-appear every day after 5:30 PM (whoever heard of a PUNCTUAL sore throat??) and i'm tired. i'm not as tired as my printer, though. my printer died today.
in memoriam: deskjet 952C, you produced a lot of type-written pages for me, from my pallid attempts at poetry to my emotionally-infested multitudes of essays. i will never forget your dedicated printing, or your pretty purply-green top that always shone when the light hit it. you were a good printer, 952C.

words words words
hmmm. there's something about repeating three words in my titles....anybody else detecting a pattern here?
new words from molly!
1.) apaixonada - it is an adjective to describe being head over heals in love with someone, or maybe more head over heels in lust with someone, or maybe somewhere in between. (you see that i spelt heals two ways, and one is certainly correct) and i think it is also possible to be apaixonada for chocolate. it wouldn't seem right if you couldn't be. and i love this word. i was apaixonada for a boy on the beach in salvador, and he tasted like oranges.
oranges, molly, oranges. AND:
2.) in portuguese, at times you use the article before a person's name, for example i would say, `eu e a emily vamos emborra´, meaning Emily and I are leaving. but what's great about this is that when Brazilians speak English, before they know very well how it's done, they'll say things like, `How is the Greg?´ `Go get the Willian and tell him to come here.´ And my, oh my, it is funny to laugh at them.
oh ya, the molly ROCKS. isn't love beautiful? apaixonada!
some more words, from maori, because i'm going to learn some maori since i'm doing my essay for australian and new zealand cinema on whale rider (by niki caro):
hui - a gathering
haere mai - welcome/enter
nau mai - welcome
tangi - to cry, to mourn
aroha - tenderness, sustained love
mauri - hidden essential life force
there are many more words. i found these ones at http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/Gallery/tereo/words.htm
well worth the search.
i am making blue eyes tea. it is a loose tea, made of dried fruits and hibiscus petals. i have a teapot that tony found for me in china town, made of glass. the water is slowly being stained a deep, gorgeous red as the tea soaks. the glass teapot is on my white countertop in the kitchen. the contrast is startling, and grabs my throat so that i want to cry. i'm so glad i can see, to be grateful for these tiny flickers of visual beauty.

snowflakes snowflakes snowflakes
big flakes of snow. and i mean, BIG flakes of snow. all over the place. (i'm not complaining, just stating a fact.) squishy, slippery, cold icy gross january WEATHER. (now i'm complaining.)
i think i read neruda in the wintertime because he reminds me of warm mediterranean places.
and i've been reading www.croatia.hr because, well, they have lots of pictures to look at and cool articles and there isn't a bloody flake to be found in the place. just lots of mountains and green stuff and gorgeous gorgeous sea.
c, thank you so much for your help with rabbit proof fence. unfortunately it was out at bay st. video, but hopefully it will be returned at the end of this week and i will be able to watch it. i am going to talk to my prof about it today or tomorrow. i hope your dentist appointment was ok (insofar as dentist appointments can BE ok, which in my opinion isn't very much OK-ness, but whatever. i hope it was OK.)
i am going to sneeze. i am also going to be late for class. i need to encase myself in multiple layers of outdoor clothing, which is guaranteed to take at least seven minutes, so - ahem. i'm gonna scram.
