Catch me if you can.

It seems winter has caught up with me.  Its friggin freezing out here and apparently it ain't gonna get any better where I'm heading.  Typhoon- and flood season is just kicking in in Louisiana, destination next.  Now there's a weather pattern we don't get to see in South Africa.

Since the snow I keep finding myself in bed staring at the tv screen, it's like my brain's leaked out the side of my head whilst I was sleeping.  You have no idea the amount of concentration it's taking for me to write this entry.  My "big plan" for the weekend is watching the entire original series of "V" this Sunday, starting at noon and ending round 11pm on the syfy channel...  Ambitious, I know.

I might also just have come out of a 4 hour stupor of watching "Yes to the dress," a show about women searching for their wedding gowns at a store in NYC that has the largest collection in the world.  This could have been accompanied by me eating a large number of Reese's peanut butter cups, but ofcourse this is all just speculation.  Damn this cold!

Winter.  I managed to out-run it when I left SA in June, but now, finally, it has caught up with me.

I miss my cousin in New York.  I miss home.  I can tell on Facebook that ya'll are just getting into the groove of summer and it's easy to imagine how wonderful it must be back home right now.  The African sun.  The mountain and the sea.

It's true what they say you know.  Somehow, you just feel closer to God in Africa.

"And what does it live on?"
"Weak tea with cream in it."
A new difficulty came into Alice's head,
"Supposing it couldn't find any?" she suggested.
"Then it would die, ofcourse."
"But that must happen very often," Alice remarked thoughtfully.
"It always happens," said the Gnat.
