Comfy comfort |
Remember when you were a kid and you'd hide under your blankets and pretend that
you were really in a long, tunnel-like cave and you never knew what might be
lurking at the other end?
Well, okay, even if you -don't- remember it, it's a cool experience, one I
heartily recommend to those among us who have grown far too comfortable in their
role as "adults". :-)
As we speak, I have an umbrella which I put over myself - a nice dome umbrella
over a recliner in front of a computer and surrounded by dozens of knitted
throw-blankets and cushy pillows - nothing can make a more comfy fort than that!
:-) The potato chips I'd cut slivers of cheddar upon and nuked until the cheese
itself was crunchy - those make -amazing- fingerfoods for comfy "stay-at-home"
days like this. Seriously, I'm learning the art of being "comfy", and getting
better and better at it the older I get.
We've all chatted about "comfort foods" - what -else- do you do when you wanna'
get all snuggly and warm, but in a decidedly non-sexual way?

Beer and Counterstrike. Maybe some Guild Wars if I get too buzzed to shoot
straight.

I have a nice overstuffed leather chair, that sits by a western facing
window, evening / sunset is best, you set in that chair and it build heat
like an oven. Covered with a down comforter, with a familiar Sci-Fi tale
that I haven't read in a long while, the rest of the inhabitants MUST be
elsewhere. For comfort foods, my favorite is a nice bottle of 63 Cockburns
Port and a goodly sized chunk of Stilton cheese, or if I am in an extremely
extravagant mood I might think about the bottle of 63 Grahams Port, but I
only have one, so the Cockburns has always gotten the call. Sometimes if I
am feeling poor, I will substitute a bottle of R.L. Buller Calliope and a
nice chunk of dark semi-sweet chocolate. Then read and watch the sun set,
nibbling and sipping, until the light fades or the comfort foods
incapacitate. Best done on a cold winter evening with the window cracked so
as to feel the cold crisp air on my face. Best done only once a year at
most.

the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant

would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us, who would invade
our schools and libraries and homes.

That is the weirdest thing I havge ever heard of. What if your computer
overheats with all those pillows, BTW? Potato chips could get into the
cooling fan.

Down sleeping bag.
Comfort food used to be French's Cheddar Cheese Fried Onions and a
VERY bitter and citrusy ale.\
Now it's celery and green tea.

Once upon a time in alt.atheism, dear sweet Uncle Clover
(UncleClover@SpamMeNot.com) made the light shine upon us with this:

Please tell me there's no tin foil involved.

Bed, quilt, lamp, book. Hot chocolate optional. Hot Toddy extra

LOL! Now that you've got me curious, I think I might just have to try it
sometime. ;-)

I like to run a really hot, deep bath and lite a load of candles. Then I
get in and keep topping up from the hot tap while I read a book or
magazine with (and here's the important bit) a large glass of islay malt
whisky with just a little ice so I can sip it over about 1/2 hour.

This might seem strange, but I feel most at home on a aprticular
stretch of road, screaming downhill past the lake, with the forests on
my right, especially in autumn, when the forest burns a deep red and
gold.
