winter is not my season

[floatingleaf]

It's COLD. I hate it when the temperature drops below the freezing point and just stays there. I feel like my brain is not functioning properly. I have no energy, no focus, and all I really, consciously want can be summed up as follows: 1) a huge, fluffy blanket to stay wrapped up in forever, 2) another hot drink, 3) more sleep. Fortunately I can still remain alert enough to read or watch movies - but writing, for example (even emails or Christmas cards), seems to require more concentration than I can muster.:( I feel like my evenings are spent staring blankly into the laptop screen and slowly DEFREEZING - to the point of complete, lethargic stupor. And then it's time to go to bed. Wow, how exciting.:( And, of course, having my period at the moment doesn't make this any better.:/

Anyway, not much to say right now - other than that I finally rented Almodovar's Bad Education and fell just a little in love with Gael Garcia Bernal in drag.;) I wouldn't mind looking so cute myself... LOL. The movie is heartbreaking, but OMG so brave and so good!... Almodovar is truly a cinematic genius. I adore him. Actually, I think I'm going to watch it at least once more before I return it. I keep renting gay movies lately, btw... not that it's going to surprise anyone here.:P (except the people working at my local Blockbuster's... LOL) Okay... looks like I've used up my writing inspiration for tonight. *sigh*

I loved Bad Education, really did, but I had hoped for a much happier ending. I am sorry you are cold. If I could I'd tuck you into a nice blanket and give you a warm hug.

Yes, the ending was very cynical and depressing. But I love how he always turns everything upside down - the characters/events in his movies are never what you expect them to be. And there aren't many films in general that manage to surprize me anymore...

I would love that.;) Winter always brings me down. I have to struggle to get up in the morning, and I am usually late for work... LOL. I feel like my whole being is in a state of hibernation. And I should really get used to it, I mean I have lived through some much harsher winters than this one... (at least for now - I have a feeling it might get worse...:/) But it seems to become more and more difficult as I get older. *sigh*
