the weather is tricking me. as a californian, i find only 1 degree of difference between cold and warm weather; 64 degrees and 65 degrees, respectively. i'm learning to be californian again. yes, i did spend half a year (the coldest half) in various parts of the eastern united states, but the weather is much different here. it might even be something in the air that makes you a little cry-baby about even the slightest cold weather the instant you set foot in california. not that i don't like cold weather; i love it. but, i'm just saying that the difference between cold weather in california and cold weather in the mid-west and the east coast is very large (those southern states excluded, obviously).

anyway, back to how the weather is tricking me: when i walked out of the house tonight, the temperature must have been about 62 degrees... but as soon as i reached my destination (i went to the mall) it rose back up to about 68. these are two dangerous extremes. i almost went back to put on my coat before i drove away. luckily, i didn't - i might have sweated at some point, kind of. obviously 68 isn't hot (especially for california. 115 is hot), but still, it's not coat weather.

i hope it does get cold soon. that jacket is just sitting there, not doing a thing. it's a shame, or whatever.

but, leaves have been falling in the backyard all day long - that's saying something, i think. i guess if there's one thing i can count on, it's for the leaves to change color and die. though, that does seem a bit vague. i might as well say that i can count on water to be wet.

whatever, fall fall autumn fall. let's see how i react.
