Crap. The weather's really ugly right now. Grey, wet and freezing. With a sharp, biting wind. And no, they still haven't turned on the heat in my apartment building. I don't know what in the name of fuck they're waiting for.:/ I have my electric space heather on pretty much all the time at this point - but it's a tiny little thing, and it can only do so much. I've been sneezing like a cannon blast since this morning, and my nose is running a marathon. Getting sick is just what I need right now.:( Plus, I somehow don't see myself traipsing around downtown day after day in this weather just to see a movie. It's a bit of a walk (20-25 minutes, if I remember correctly) from the closest train station to the theater where most films will be shown during the festival. It will totally suck to have to cover the distance in freezing rain.:/ Of course, the weather could change by then... but somehow I don't think it will change for the better. I have a feeling this year's autumn is going to be absolutely disgusting. Last year's October & November were almost too nice to be true, after all - perhaps it will take really epic doom and gloom now to restore some sort of cosmic balance... *sigh*

Yeah... seasonal depression. I has it. I get REALLY grumpy when I'm cold, and when my sinuses start acting up. I used an entire packet of tissues today, and now I just want to wrap myself in several layers of thick flannel and tumble into bed. I thought I had some interesting stuff to post about, but that train of thought got derailed somewhere along the way. My head's too stuffed up to manage any sort of intellectual process at the moment, anyway. I'm gonna get me another mug of hot tea, and then it'll be sweet dreams, everyone. *surrenders to autumnal apathy*

We're getting your weather just not quite to the same extreme. And the seasonal affective disorder is setting in early this year along with the late fall weather. Take care and feel better soon!

The weather has improved, and so has my mood. I just needed to take it easy and pamper myself this weekend, which seems to have helped. There's no better remedy for a cold than lots of sleep.:D

Come over, we have a gorgeous Indian Summer - actually, it's warmer than the "real" summer we were supposed to have in July!

I know, that's what I heard from a friend in Scotland - that summer was crappy over there, but it's warm & nice now... LOL.

Actually, it would seem that my complaints were heard, because the sun came out the next day.:) It's still chilly, but I can handle cold & dry much better than cold & wet, so I think I'll be fine.;)

I feel the same way. The house is chilly and I am already bundling up, trying to keep from turning the furnace on as long as is possible. ::sends you hot tea::

It's warmed up again over here, thank God. Most of next week is supposed to be sunny and dry, which makes me happy. I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed for the week after...
