It was -5 degrees celsius today and I needed to go grocery shopping. It was a classic example of sucky timing. A little bit of wind chill helped us along as well, plus the still remaining pockets of compressed snow-ice. Needless to say it was treacherous. I think I may have been looking at my computer screen all day except for the two hours I was away shopping. My head is a little on the pained side and my eyes are doing funky things. It's probably a bad sign and so I'm now deciding to type with my eyes closed. Note to self: be sure to do a spell check.
It's a funny thing to type with the eyes closed. I find that I drift away from conscious thought, in a sense, and start typing on automatic. Typing whatever comes into my head at that moment. I become more conscious of my inner monologue. Kind of like free writing. That is what it's called, isn't it? When some writing instructor tells you to just write exactly what is in your head as it pops up there. For example, while writing that sentence, I started thinking about Winston from 1984 sitting in his corner of the apartment away from the telescreen so he could write in his journal. Who knows where I would have gone next.
As you can no doubt tell, another unremarkable and uneventful day has transpired here in Giessen. A forecast of plans include Marburg on Wednesday and Frankfurt on Thursday so let's hope I'll have bloggable material to swoon and stimulate your imaginations.
