what color is your day? - Page 2

footfootfoot · 01-30-2013, 01:31 PM

This ought to go in what's annoying the shit out of me, but this morning I woke up and the colors on my monitor were all intensely vivid and dayglo. I spent the better part of half an hour fucking with everything to get them normal and now, most of them sort of are, but chrome is still really hot. There is also a halo around fine type that made it so hard to read I had to bump the size of it up and bold it.

Seriously WTF?

Wait until the type starts jumping around on the page and dancing in the halos ... it's like Mardi Gras on your monitor, only 'way less useful.

Grey.

Got a lift in from a new staff member.
She also gave me a lift home - she drives right past the end of my road on the way home.
She's happy to offer me a lift anytime I am working at After School Club as it's not out of her way and we finish the same time.

I feel this is my karmic reward for driving a colleague home every Sunday evening when I worked at Asda in Leicester. Poor lady had to wait for an hourly bus. And yes it was in the opposite direction to me, but I've been a pedestrian for long enough to know that lifts generally mean far more to the passenger than the driver.

She's a nice lady. Plays the trumpet too. And the euphonium. What is it with these crazy brass ladies? She likes that she can ask me "ignorant" questions. Like what does Mrs C actually do? And who is more senior, Miss N or Mrs M?

Anyway, enough patting on back.

Soft grey because I am being helped by someone I am helping.
And I live under grey skies for much of the year, so it's a comforting colour to me. Something to wrap around myself when the wind blows.

Texture - worn cotton jersey.

Shit. Is that going to happen soon? I've got work to finish. I knew I shouldn't have mixed alcohol and Buproprion.

Not exactly. It's just been a tough week so far.

powdered sugar white with a white sky and all the blurry porch lights looks like tiny stars come to street level. (contacts not in yet--too, too early)

See, that (living under grey skies most of the year) makes me want to cut myself.

Gods, you'd hate Yorkshire then lol

I'm a sun-worshipper and I've got the freckled, dried-up skin to prove it. It's grey here from about Dec to April when it turns a minty green with loads of rain but May and June can be okay (lately June has been much too hot) July is unbearable, and August can be, too; Sept. Oct. Nov. are good. Very, very good. Three out of twelve...sigh. but I don't want to be in the tropics (much too hot) but I want to be in a cool clime (highest 70 degrees) with blue skies and loads of sunshine every day. Where is that?

xoxoxoBruce · 01-31-2013, 08:14 AM

Indoors. Paint the ceiling blue with a spotlight up in the corner.

You'll want to leave Seattle off your bucket list. Or, move it to the bottom.
