It snowed yesterday, and not just flurries! That's the first time in three years! We actually got about two plus inches, which means that everything in town is slow or shut down. Which is the best thing about snow!
But you know what always surprises me about snow? How WET it is! I grew up in Florida and did not experience snow until I was sixteen. I did not expect it to be so wet! I mean, it *is* precipitation. I knew this! But it did not look wet in the movies! Maybe I am just getting the short end of the stick --even when it snows here, it's just barely below freezing. Maybe our snow is the slushy, wet kind? One day I would like to see fluffy, powdery snow, and maybe that will be... less wet? Feel free to disillusion me, northerners. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LIKE TO DO THAT.
How much did I enjoy Jon Stewart's insane interview with Jonah Goldberg last night? Jonah has always been one of my least favorite commentators. He's the "journalist" who made assy insinuations about Al Gore without doing his homework, was immediately proven wrong by the most basic research, and had neither the grace nor the integrity to apologize and issue a correction. And then there was that time he flew over ANWR to "prove" that it was desolate, lifeless wasteland. He is entirely ridiculous, and I enjoyed seeing him be made a fool of.
And how psyched was I to see this meme making the rounds again? I haven't done it since, like, 2004. There used to be a Mac version, but the site that hosted it disappeared, and I'd basically given up hope of ever being able to do this one again.
