The cold is exhausting. I'm ready to go to bed, already

Just kill a racist (clearly, there are plenty of them) and use his skin for warmth.

Or, a less homicidal option is to go to a hunting supply store and ask them for the warmest muthafuckin jacket they got. :D With any luck it'll be bright orange too. Bonus!

Oh mah gawd, it comes in orange woodland camo:

See? Told you. I'll be out in it from sunup to sundown Monday and Tuesday! Glorious.

You were right. So very, very right. I even had to break down and get some lip balm. (from Lush, of course)

[starflow]

Invest in some serious hand and body lotion, too! And a very thick, sturdy high-tech warm-making jacket. And wool leggings, like smartwool (love 'em!).

Basically if you dress every day like you're going snowboarding, you should be fine. Today's temps are what most of Jan. and Feb. are like, but it should warm back up to about 30 next week. It'll be practically balmy!

yeah, coats. i didn't have a coat until my last year of college -- which was in atlanta so i realize i'm a big baby in comparison, but whatev -- because i kept thinking the thing you do when it's cold is to layer and layer and layer... so i'd be walking around campus wearing two pairs of pants, two pairs of socks, two shirts and a sweatshirt (think small child so bundled he can't put his arms all the way down) and thinking "dude! i don't get it, i'm still cold!" turns out, coats.

[goaticusmaximus]

A coat has been gotten! (and it works!)

Oh how I miss my delightfully brisk native weather! :p
