My world is very yellow right now.
Edited on Wed Nov-19-03 05:23 PM by DarkPhenyx
Yes, I realize that this is a strange statement, but it's true. Outside now, as dusk is falling, the light has taken on a strange yellow cast. It is drizzling, and overcast...getting a bit cooler than it has been. In the ambient light the greens are so green they look almost blue.

Interesting.

6. *chuckle*
NO, it isn't that. I had a nice "racehorse moment" when I got home and life was still yellow when I was done.

5. lyrics to coldplay's "yellow"
Look at the stars; look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along; I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know?
You know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across; I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cos you were all yellow

I drew a line; I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

And your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know?
For you I bleed myself dry
For you I bleed myself dry

It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do
~end~

9. Used to notice that affect more when I live in N'wawlins
Used to think of it, romatically perhaps, as teh Golden Light. There just a certain sort of sunset atmospheric condition that just makes everything glow like, well, the view has been psychotropically enhanced. But it hasn't.

11. Its yellow back home
Edited on Wed Nov-19-03 05:48 PM by Lizz612
when its cloudy at dusk and there is snow on the ground, the light bounces around and gets filtered. It stays that way for hours! Maybe its light from the city too, but its still cool!

(Home is St. Paul.)

12. When I lived in Kansas, the locals called that tornado weather.
Better mind the forecasts.

18. I recall a tornado watch in northern Virginia ...
... apparently, we at work were within range ... we all went down to the 1st floor ... it was more of a sea green outside ... turtle pond green ... very strange ... I felt like I was in an aquarium ... luckily, it didn't hit us, but it was in the area ...

13. My world is very yellow, too
But that's probably because I'm staring into my beer.
