more randomness

1) Jammies Day for the win!

2) Sometimes when I'm sitting outside and it's nearly dark, just the glimmer of the sun setting behind the black shapes of the mountains, it's so amazing that I want to paint it, take photos, make poetry, do SOMETHING to show you all how awesome it is. As in awe-inspiring.

It also makes me want a cigarette. Which is weird because I don't smoke and have no urge to, except sometimes, when the sun is setting. WTF?

3) Tonight, while watching the sunset, it was so disturbingly quiet. Like, 500 crickets, some wind in the trees, the occasional bird or bat flitting past... And then utter silence. That kind of ominous "the crickets have even shut the fuck up - the big scary uber-monster is coming." Like seriously, calm before the storm, earthquake-weather kind of silence. And then once I was thoroughly creeped out, the air and crickets and birds started up again.

Also, have I seen way too many movies or what? A little sielnce shouldn't be creepy.

4) Explosions In The Sky is my new favorite music/band/whatever *ever*.

5) Dark Angel sucks. Not because it sucks intrinsically (which it does) but because it doesn't have enough Jensen in it to be clearly worth my while. But I live in hope because sometimes he takes his shirt off, and me? Well, I'm easy.

6) My husband brings me brownies when I bleed. He wins the awesomness award.

Sounds like Santa Barbara where my brother lives. He & his wife found this place up a mountain around 2...3...4 million dollar homes and they rent on the cheap and live in this utterly glorious landscape where they can see ocean and mountain and sunset from their front room. Anyway sounds like you saw that M Night Shamylan sp? movie with Mark Walberg. I didn't see it but keep seeing the previews on my "Jumper" DVD where the bees start disappearing then humankind starts disappearing. Sorry just a little stream of consciousness there.

Close - I'm in Santa Cruz. No ocean view, but lots of mountains. :)

I don't even watch horror movies, but I guess you just pick up stuff. It's creepy when all of nature just goes silent! Makes you realize how much ambient noise there is, even in the forest.
