Photoblog : Neon Lights
Boston, Massachusetts
They hide behind the closet door, shivering in fright. Peeking through the gap, they see the big bad guys on the prowl. With their leather and their long overcoats, walking around, total gali ka dada style. With a deep sigh they resign themselves to their corner in the closet. They know they don’t stand a chance until next summer. Move over tanktops and sandals. The jackets, gloves and boots have arrived and like a typical uninvited guest, they are here to stay!
Yep, ladies and gentlemen, brrr weather has surely come to town. And it is not even Novembrrrr yet! Sheesh. The thermostat shows a nice 36°F outside as I write this. That’s 2.2°C for you metric-minded folks, so be nice and stop heckling me. So it looks like this is going to be another painfully long and cold winter. And my dear readers, we all know what that means. Yesh, lots of meaningless posts and rhymes from me complaining about the weather, the snow and all of its assorted joys. Yay.
Was tagging some old photos and came across this one taken back in March taken at the New England Spring Flower Show. The clichéd writer’s block has afflicted me so I decided to put it to good use and post a photoblog instead. Oh and another thing — I’ve noticed that there’s something about my posting pictures of tulips that invariably gets me started on griping about the weather. Weird, no? Wonder why?
Oh, by the way, the title of this post comes from a track from the 1978 album The Man Machine by the German electronica group — Kraftwerk. We likes them very much.
winter!!…escaped it I have …left new england …..on west coast reside I shall…
flowers show to yoda you have…..make yoda happy!!
forget you not megha…beware of the powers of the dark side!

Yesh, lots of meaningless posts and rhymes from me complaining about the weather.
Do you have one about Wilma? Cos’ you see, my weather rhymes never seem to rhyme, unless of course Wilma is renamed Wilmuck or Wilmich.

A rumor down here is that aliens decided to kidnap megha because of posting flowers AND complaining about cold weather.
Hey, don’t ask me why.. ask them alients!
*yes, I’m totally wasted*
