Half of the lights have blown on my chandelier in my bedroom. Why exactly I have a chandelier in my bedroom, I’m not sure. The point is is that it’s now quite dim in my room. People who come into it (possessions tell a lot about a person) look up at the light and suggest I put some new bulbs in. But I don’t think so. The light is now perfectly aligned with my mood of late. There’s enough to see the possessions in my room, but not enough light to inspect them. It’s a soft, antique sort of light, making everything seem like a sepia photograph. Soft and dim, and soothing. That’s how a room is supposed to feel when you’re like I am at the moment. Isn’t it? The original paintings on my wall make my room bright enough to be inviting, while the light keeps me calm. So, change the light bulbs, I think not.
This may seem like a mundane subject, but it’s better than what I’m really thinking about.

sepia always seemed sad to me (more than soothing)... it feels like faded memories... i have a picture of a friend of mine, we were out late, in a big group, and she was getting tired... so i took a picture of her, looking exhausted, or sad, or both, and i had the camera set to sepia... i don't claim to have taken a lot of picutres in sepia, but of all the ones that i have, the colours offered from sepia fit no picture of mine as well as this picture of this sad, tired girl...
unfortunately, at the moment, i have to agree that seeing the world in sepia would be rather appropriate... though, i hope your mood finds reason to replace the bulbs before too much time passes... there's a time for feeling of faded memories, but there should be more time for vibrant colours (or so the world tells us to believe)...
take care of yourself, hil... and a belated happy new year from a friend across the world (isn't technology amazing?)...

hey mike, long time no... write? You can't say 'write', it seems wrong. hmm...
anyway, i'm glad you knew what i meant about sepia tones, sort of. But at the same time, if you're aware of the feeling, then you've had it, which I am sorry to hear.
I imagine you're a generally happy person, most of the time,
i hope so anyway.
take care of yourself, mike. happy january the eleventh. *smiles*
