is it summer?


what the fuck is going on? it's 10 degrees in the middle of january!!

wasn't there a saying or a joke back in the 'pre-global warming days' that involved the use of the words "middle of fucking january", and it was meant to denote "very very cold". the same way that saying you're in the middle of fucking nowhere when a friend calls you on your cell on a saturday afternoon, he knows you're in scarborough.

gone. it's fine for canucks (and to newfoundlanders who still have a house in "sunny sunny tourist destination, NEWFOUNDLAND!" in the year 2011). but it's spooky. i love summer, but not in winter.

when i was in LA, it was so warm and sunny every day that the relativity left. every day felt like the last. which is great, if you can afford to go to 'weather destinations' like colorado and such. maybe that's the future: "want to see snow, kids?" "yay!" Voice Over: "disneyland antarctica presents, cold things and stuffed penguins, the way life USED to be, in the bad old days" "yay!".

or, "okay class, we're going on a rain-hunting excursion to vancouver this year, so get out there and sell those sunscreen cookies!" "yay!"

in other news: there's a restaurant in the mole city (a fast foody/muffins and such kind of place) that is called RUFFAGE. i guess "food that helps you shit" didn't fit on the sign. i'm cracking myself up. i still got it!!

What did it do for your bowels??
Nevermind - I don't want to know.

Can I be that voice over guy?

stop complaining...I'll blame you if it gets cold...how 'bout you sneak us a photo of your office at work? I'm not logging in to hear the weather~!...unless it's raining at your desk, THAT I want to hear about.

well, zach, i haven't eaten there yet - between the hot timbits that are on offer at 7 am and the local proprietors i've befriended and whose business they earn with their smiles (because having someone smile AT you in mole city is rare), i have yet to eat at ruffage's.

as for you, h, i actually snuck a photo on my camera phone a few weeks ago, but i'm going to have to wait until i get a bunch because downloading them is annoying (and .25c per pic... )
