And another story in my book i’ve read before! annoying.
we have reached that time of year where snow sticks around for months. we have ~4 inches of snow. the leaves are off all of our non-evergreens. the view out the back of the house is of long stretches of white as the park is all we see. on days after fresh snows, the hills in the park are dotted with people sledding.
Ben got the Roku for Christmas. It is a box that streams internet video to your tv. We thought just Netflix, but upon setting up there are a lot of other options also – including amazon video, some MLB channel which you can buy out of market games. We watched Nick and Nora’s infinite playlist last night. It was amusing in the same vein as Juno, though not as serious. It was a cute little movie, and made me nostalgic for my early twenties of staying out all night. or at least staying out late dancing. it made me get out one of my old journals. it was of the 4-6 month period of the beginning of ben and i and OH! so! much! angst! it was the rough time where we were trying to figure out/coming to terms with the fact that this! was! it! hahahaha. it amuses me now how much brain space is used trying to figure out relationships.
unrelated. i am already tired of diet commercials. i saw something the other day that made me want to write that i agree with the statement that exercising is a luxury. if you are poor or even just trying to keep things together for your family, you do not have the time or money to exercise (and yes, chicago in the winter requires money to exercise – wether for special clothes or a gym membership). have access to good healthy foods is a luxury. so don’t judge those who don’t have access to that luxury.
