Dreary Day

I took this yesterday, and then tarted up a little bit in Photoshop (I added lots of cyan, because, um, I felt like it). There were some amazing rolly-polly clouds with fringy bits along one edge.

Today, it’s been wet and gross. It’s rained all afternoon and evening, and it’s supposed to keep raining until midnight, with the temperatures dropping all night until they reach the low teens. Aieee! I hope the rain stops before the temperature dips too much, because I’d rather not deal with a bunch of ice.

I had to buy a new batch of pears yesterday (the old ones went into the food dehydrator this morning). The kid at the checkout said, “Hey, you’re the pear lady!” Okaythen!

And pears, they are everywhere. Marsh has dragged out the holiday crap, and there are posters all over the store of little green pears with looped, silver hangers on their heads. There’s a large poster of one in the front window of the store. From the back of the parking lot, it looks like a pear, then when you get to the middle of the parking lot, it looks like a glass Christmas tree ball, then when you get up close to it, you can see the little pear speckles. It’s cute.

And, an instant review: The Wild

I love kids’ movies, but this one was a little bit meh. It did have one redeeming factor, though: Eddie Izzard. And, it was worth watching (or, listening to, as I was painting while it was on) solely for the line: “Do we not have the party hats of death?” I laughed so hard I nearly choked. Teh Enb.
