Winter. It's official.

I actually watched a person chipping ice from his facial hair today. I'm NOT KIDDING. He's a cyclist- die hard apparently, and has ICE hanging off of his BEARD and MUSTACHE!

Which made me think, if that happens for men, maybe just maybe women can do that too with un wanted hair. We're tough, we can handle it. Just stand outside in below 0 freezing weather, spritz some water on your legs, or armpits, or arms or bikini line, wait until it freezes and then hack away! Painless. Ok, not painless. But cheap!

I've loved Sara Bareilles for a long time. She has a beautiful voice and a stellar talent to play the piano. But, I loved her even more when I heard her song called "City". The lyrics really hit home to me. It's about the city of Los Angeles and what she describes here is just what I experienced. It's such a lonely city, with lost souls trying to fill the void in any way possible- I'm convinced that why there is so much drug abuse and exploitative pornography (I am not categorizing all porn together, some of it isn't bad- some porn actors are treated well).

Sara Barreilles is from Eureka California, which from what I hear is so far from what LA is; It's a beautiful little town closer to Oregon than even San Francisco, where there are only a few things to do like go to the movies and visit the Redwoods. I'm sure when she went to UCLA for music, she had the same culture shock that I did.

I'm not posting the song too because I want the lyrics to be read. I want them to be understood before it's just "another great song" because these are great lyrics. Enjoy:

There's a harvest each Saturday night
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
A place you can stand for one night and get gone
It's clear this conversation ain't' doing a thing
Cause these boys only listen to me when i sing
And i don't feel like singing tonight
All the same songs

Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
Nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold you?

The situation's always the same
You got your wolves in their clothes whispering Hollywood's name
Stealing gold from the silver they see
But it's not me

Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold you?

Calling out somebody save me i feel like I'm fading away
Am i gone?
Calling out somebody save me i feel like I'm fading

In these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold on to you?
