09/23/2002 Entry: ""

. . . so . . . sleepy . . . cannot . . . keep . . . eyes . . . propped . . . open . . . . .

I think my hibernation reflex is kicking in hard--it's a raw blustery cold day out, perfect for burrowing under the blankets with a mug of hot chocolate. Instead of which, I must sit at my desk like a grown-up and produce revisions of the pre-registration worksheet. Drat.

There's some psychological principle, the name of which I cannot begin to recall at the moment, to the effect that the meaning people make of events, their reactions to them, are heavily influenced by recent or proximate experiences, even if those experiences differ significantly from the current event in question. (I would say this more clearly if I were, like, awake.) A nice concrete example of this, in any event, is what I think of as the Clothing Lag Phenomenon. I mean, here it is, 47 degrees with a gusty north wind. If this were April, and it was 47 degrees, but everyone's most recent experience was four solid months of winter, everyone would be walking around in their parkas. As it is, since everyone is still operating on residual Summer Brain-Set, everyone has on, at most, a hooded sweatshirt or light jacket, and I see lots of kids with t-shirts (saw one guy this morning in shorts, even). It really takes some time for seasonal shifts to be reflected in how people are dressing.

Having typed this out, I see it is rather less fascinatingly insightful than I thought it was. Ah well. It's almost time to go home, and I can dust off the radiators and, for the first time this fall, turn on the heat (with a sigh for all the dollars that will start flowing from my bank account into the coffers of Xcel Energy).

You are always fascinatingly insightful. ;) Are you wearing a hooded parka right now, hmm, my elegant little polar bear?

Heh. Leather jacket, babe. Got it out of the closet this morning, and have been swaggering around in it all day, feeling like one bad-ass mama-jama. (In between interludes of falling asleep at my desk, that is.)

Lovely new color for fall-just like a chocolate Necco wafer.

I actually find that it works the other way around for me. In March when it gets up to 47, after months of snow, I'm so excited that it's finally warming up that I do ridiculous things like wearing a sleeveless parka-vest in lieu of a real coat. In September, when it first falls to 47 after months of heat, I'm so startled by the temperature drop that I bundle up. It's all about contrast.

But any time of year is a good time of year for Kat's Leather Jacket, if you ask me. ;-)
