It's cold all of a sudden. Last week, or this week -- one of these weeks -- it became cold all of a sudden, and I am forced out of my sandals and into my gloves, although not on the same apendages. It's cold when I get out of bed in the morning, so last night I didn't bother to remove any clothes before retiring. It's cold at work because the door ad-jacent to the room ad-jacent to the kitchen is left ad-jar so we can take the "bin bags" (rubbish) and the "milk cartons" (milk) and the "chicken packaging" (dog) out to the dumpster. It's cold in the university library, so I shiver while I type, and listen to the air conditioner. It was cold yesterday in the same library while I watched Raging Bull, (sweet,) and while I, next, looking for sports nutrition books, coincidentally ran into a film book with a chapter on Scorsese, (director of Raging Bull & Taxi Driver,) and decided that Today I would continue the Deniro/Scorsese streak with Mean Streets or Goodfellas. But it was still cold Today when, instead, I chose to watch Dances With Wolves, which was pretty crap -- nice scenery and some dear near tear-jerking moments -- but that's typical of typical Hollywood drama, even if it's manned, panned and canned by kevin.
Last night it was warm in MacSwiggans, The Kings Head, and The Roisin Dubh, but the walks between those pubs were quite chilly; and chillier yet for me than the others I was with, for they had the warmth of Guinness, and I only that of a tall cold glass of water. The Roisin Dubh provided me with another night of satisfaction with an African conga group called Afrikiko. The first time since Creamfields that I'd felt a certain different kind of warmth; that afterglow of a people who, (their leaders putting away instruments and exiting,) quieting their dancing feet, stand and look around, not wanting to lose the energy and communion they've found for a little while.
So, it's still cold, and about time to retreat, but not before this evening's Did You Know:
We instinctively eat more when it's cold out.
