FIRSTLY! Since I haven't been updating much, I haven't had a chance to let m'dearest

nentari know that I received a lovely surprise in my postbox recently! Will you forgive my sloppiness, sweetheart? I adore my book so much & I'm very touched that you sent it to me. Thankyou so much, love! ::hugs you::

It's been indescribably hot here for the past four, nearly five days; as in ninety degrees right here in San Francisco. It's been so intense that I can barely sleep at night & I've been getting rather dizzy & headache-y at night. It's been lovely out, but just too hot.

Went to lunch with the lovely girl I work with & my physician/boss/neighbour. She said the office had been doing so much better, so we could celebrate. It was a very nice lunch in a very nice cafe & the three of us had a splendid time. I also learnt a touch about wine with a few sips of a rather nice white wine. & happily, it didn't taste like furniture polish or make me want to cringe after I tasted it.

(I'm really bad with wine, actually; I sort of hate it. Champagne or something cute & mixed for me please! Or a Guinness.)

Speaking of being out & about with people, I think my own return to nightlife is going to be a lot sooner than I had originally thought it would be. Ideally, I would have liked to return this very week, but I think I'll give it perhaps a couple more weeks, if not just one more.

I'll probably feel the mad sense of panic when I'm actually on my way there, but right now . . . I don't feel any of that. Rather, I feel kind of excited to go back. White Zinfandel & Gauloises on Thursdays again. ♥

Also, I have a question for my dears! Does anyone use GOMPlayer to screencap things? KMPlayer's display kept fucking up when I tried to cap my Smallville DVDs & of course, VLC is kind of useless when it comes to screencapping, I find, unless I want to do it all manually, which I don't.

GAAAAAAAAAAAH, WHY IS SCREENCAPPING SO FRUSTRATING FOR ME. ::growls::

& curiously enough,

wordsindreams has suggested that I return to Twitter (I've rather abandoned it) & well, I'll be seeing everyone there soonish, I do believe! At least my Twitter app will get a little use now . . .

[riverdresses] finds that maybe very little, at least to her slightly cosseted eyes, is as lovely as her seven-mile candyfloss sky world is at post-rain . . . autumnal sunset. It's a night for hot tea, a viewing of Withnail & I, & writing. A double-looped scarf & jumper set for her mind. what makes up YOUR mind's double-looped scarf & jumper sets? She's curious!

I wrote that through the late afternoon to the early evening on my Twitter & realised that it would be a lovely thing to include in the third issue of my zine, riverdresses.

Basically, I want to know, as I said, what comforts you on cold days?

What makes up your happiest moments?

If you could, what would be the ideal things for your ideal autumnal/springy/summery/wintry days & nights?

In the darkest nights, on the coldest, stormiest days, what makes up the ideal scarf & jumper (sweater, for you non-Brits reading this!) set for your mind?

I would adore as many submissions as I could get - submit more than once if you like! - & if I get quite a few, I'll move this idea into the fourth issue of riverdresses, or make it a regular feature, possibly. Just leave me your preferred moniker/nom de plume/name so I can add it in properly!

Also, feel free to spread this around to anyone else you think would like to add something! The more, the merrier! (& I confess, I'm just dying to know some of your responses! I'll be sharing my own as well, so don't think I'll just be sitting & watching you all!)

xoxo

(p.s. you totally don't have to answer all of them like that - have fun & be creative, darlings!)

.you must be mad, or else you wouldn't have come here
