crispy winter walks

WeeBeastie relishes the winter winds while her owner grudgingly piles on four layers of clothes to take her on a walk this morning. i had a moment of recognition during a particularly nasty day last february where i could see that these winters would play a part in my eventual exodus from chicago. and i realize that it's just not even that cold right now, by our season's standards. seeing piles of trash on the sidewalks through the fog on your glasses is so grim. i was really bothered by the garbage's presence today, marring the sky's brightness.

have to hand it to my skills with a pen and tissue paper. danger was averted as i released the sweet toxins of peanut butter and jelly from the crevices of my keyboard. after a series of hgnhgnhghhgnhgn keys was repeatedly pounded, nary a trace of sandwich filling remains. i need to take a little more care whilst chowing at my desk.
