It's still coming down. I don't think we've had snow fall continuously for so many hours for as long as I've lived in Texas (17 years).
 
Headed my way later tonight, then!

*shivers*

You Canadians! How do you deal?[/QUOTE]

We watch the snow fall. We have sex until it stops snowing. We put on warm clothes, go outside and move the snow to a more adventageous position.


On a serious note I never understood why people think snow is hard to deal with. Our worst blizzards may dump upwards of 3 meters of snow on us, but we just shovel it out of the way. When people get hit with a hurricane they are rebuilding houses and cities, far worse weather in my opinion.


Even more random, I solved a simple computer problem for someone at work today. Why oh why did I do something so stupid.
 
Snow isn't that difficult to deal with, but it's hella inconvenient.

Especially this snow-water hybrid bullshit we get here in St. John's. It's like a giant slush puppy shits all over the city, and it just never gets cleaned up.
 
My sister's engaged to an awesome guy! He's bloody awful at Left 4 Dead 2, but I'm beyond happy for her. :D
 

Damn you, WoW. I thought you were letting me go easy, but nooooooo. Fucking Icecrown gets released the week after I cancel. Going to have to see about getting the money to re-up my account.

Goddamnit.
 
Conversation over heard today in Tim Hortons:

Girl 1: I just can't understand Harry Potter. It's just so gay!
Girl 2: It really is. It's so kiddie yet people treat it like serious literature.
Girl 1: I know, right! It's not even believable! I mean, witches and wizards? At least I can relate to Twilight...that's a believable story!

Husband laughed loudly. They stared.

O.O Man, don't you love it when you hit the eavesdropping jackpot?

Did you hear about the girls I overheard from last week who said, "If you like Jane Eyre, why can't you like Twilight???"

:frusty:
 
Yeh! I read that! Thar's why I posted mine!

The kicker was their demeanor. It was like they thought they were having a serious, intellectual discussion. Thier university text books were laid out on the table and a lap top was open, one was waving her hand in a grand gesture while holding a cappuccino in the other.

It was a tableau of self importance that only added to the hilarity of the conversation.

I was with them until they mentioned Twilight.

I have no problem with reading young-person literature. I enjoyed what I read of Harry Potter, and I'm slow to outright dismiss Twilight, since I haven't read any of it yet. But I have far too many 'adult' friends who have not yet in their life read a single 'grown up' book.

Oh, and I had a funny today. I had to check my little notebook for a phone number, since it wasn't in my cell. I wondered what time it was while I was looking at the page, and I glanced at the upper right corner of the notebook's page expecting to see a clock.

I feel that I've crossed over some line now. Like I'm officially a techaholic.
 
Are we being serious?

I'm guessing this person has butchered the English language to suit their own nefarious means.

Either that or they are from Newfoundland. This kind of a poor sentence structure basically means just what you'd think it means.

"I am going to put on some lip stick then use the washroom."

I just spent an hour and a half gift-wrapping a single present for a Sinterklaas party this Saturday. I'm gonna wind up spending another hour and a half wrapping it some more tomorrow. And this is using the solution that results in the least amount of effort to achieve the plan. :\

Kitty Sinatra

Yeah, I know. But I've been working a lot, and was unable to get last Saturday off (well, to confirm that I didn't have to show up at work) so we postponed it a week.

Postponing it isn't a huge faux pas, is it? I don't want to have pissed off my new sister-in-law.

Also, the poem that goes along with present is really quite half assed. It's just a limerick that hints at the hellacious amount of unwrapping my brother will have to endure before he gets to the actual gift.

Kitty Sinatra

No, the gift itself is real. I just figured I'd make him work for it.

But huh. Goo is an excellent idea. I'll likely do that if I pick my brother's name next year - that would be the third time in a row, which since we only started doing Sinterklaas last year, would also happen to be every time.

If I did the goo thing, I wouldn't have to actually get him a gift, right?

EDIT: OH yeah. I have no idea how traditional our Sinterklaas celebration is. It's all new to everyone except my brother's new Dutch wife. We draw someone's name, give them a gift with a poem and maybe play some slight prank or trick with it.
