Winter Sunlight

It's the kind of light you could usually only see in the early morning, if you're even awake at that time; the kind of light that pours out blindingly white from the sky, creating beautifully contrasty shadows of leaves and tables and chairs and walking figures on the ground. Together with the ear-numbingly chilly air, it created a distinctly wintery feel outside all day. What is this? Winter weather in January? It's simply preposterous! Outrageous!

Dreaming of Cece

Remember those really fun clapping games we played as kids, where we sang little diddies like "Cece Oh Playmate" or "Miss Susie Had A Steamboat", and things like that to the rhythm of some clapping pattern? Well. Hee hee.

You see, I was doing some homework problems in my room, while Sarah was taking a snooze, when suddenly, a bunch of slapping sounds interrupted my thoughts. I thought, is this how Sarah wakes herself up, by slapping herself until she opens her eyes? I turned around to put an end to this self-abusive act, only to find out that, no, actually, she was playing "Cece Oh Playmate" with the air! I asked her what she was doing, but she just giggled in response and continued to high-five the air. Gimme a sec...

(HARHARHARHARHARHARHAR! HOOHOOOOOO!)

Okay, I'm done laughing (snort).

Bright night sky

Today was a most unusual day. Everything from studying on Friday to the unusually warm January night made tonight feel all hazy like the thick fog that blanketed the city skyscrapers this morning. I think the feeling comes from doing so many things that I normally do not do, all in the span of a few hours. Add to that the weird weather and the strangely bright night sky, and suddenly, I feel like something is gonna happen. Something's in the air...it's probably nothing though. You know what it is, it's probably that tendency of human beings to expect Big Things to happen to us during our lifetime. Like armageddon, or reaching the final scientific paradigm, or...In reality, though, I predict that tomorrow will come, and then the day after, as normal as any other day. It's probably just a warm front, nothing really out of the ordinary.
