Cold, dark and hungry.

I feel like a little child, afraid of the dark. It is 5pm. And it's dark. As a geographer, I should be excited about the fact that this is due to the Earth rotating about the sun and the fact that I am in the Northern hemisphere and hence experience shorter days.

I am not excited.

The dark feels scary, especially when it creeps in before you know it. You expect the light to linger about a little more but it disappears as it is invaded by night. Dark isn't scary if it's supposed to be night. It only feels strangely eerie when it comes when it isn't supposed to (or at least at the Equator, it isn't supposed to).

So now, it's not only the cold that is making me blue. The dark is making me oh so blue. Sighs. And what do you do when you're blue? Eat.
