threeplusfireThe news says the haze will last for some days yet, as there are no real cold fronts to sweep rain through and wash it out of the sky. It's almost as bad as 1998, my first year of college. The sky is that same sickly color, and it feels strange. Damned fires, and agricultural practices and whatever else. I keep cleaning my glasses, thinking it's going to change something.
The light is off kilter. I'm not sure I want to go out into it, but must get back to work and this supposed real life I have.
Which has been something I've pondered for days and days now, what really is my life. There are so many things I enjoy about it, and so many more that need changing. I need French lessons and Czech tutoring, and where is that GRE book now? I need to learn how to breathe, and open my eyes underwater, and I should start taking better care of my skin, maybe think about seriously quitting smoking. Though I like to smoke, and I'm not sure how I feel about that yet.
I'm just feeling weird lately. Don't mind me. I'll get some of the nervousness out of my movements this weekend.

Date: 2003-05-08 03:09 pm (UTC)Speaking of smoke -- what is this smoke in the air? Is this from some massive control burn by ranchers south of here? Dust storms that mixed with burning bushes? Incinerators? It's sort of scary, in an Orson Welles sort of way...

Date: 2003-05-08 06:48 pm (UTC)The smoke is from Mexico, where they are burning fields for some reason unbeknownst to me. The weather pattern is such that it is all coming up this way, and there is no serious cold front to blow it out. In 1998 it was so bad there were Health Department warnings, and the sky was green. Very weird.
