weather is a pick up line

In Kansas, the most people would say about the weather at any given time was "It's friggin' HOT!" or "It's friggin' COLD!" depending on which season we were in. Nothing special ever happened, it was either hot or cold. Okay, maybe a few perfect days were here and there (in October), but I don't remember folks going "It's been____ long since it's been ____(insert extreme weather here)___." Hot or cold. Summer/Fall or Winter/Spring.

Out here in Alaska It's been raining on the snow for two days. You either learn to fall or you learn to skate (or in smart peoples' opinions, you get shoe spikes). Every where I go I hear "This is the worst winter in years". I remember shovelling three feet of snow off of the vans when I worked for Avis, four years ago. Last year, everybody said the same thing "This is the worst...yada yada yada." Do these people have that bad a time remembering?

I, for one, think this is freaking awesome. I got tired of 60 degree Decembers. We definitely could have gotten some good amateur igloo making out of this weather.

Aahh, winter on an island

1) It's cold.

2)There's still birds all over the place.Tthey keep flying into the windows while I'm eating breakfast.

3) the waves are REALLY high out at Mill Bay, and the Crabbers are starting to go out this weekend.

4) Inventory sucks. Not having an inventory sucks just about as bad.

5) It's also icy. I've made up for not falling last year by turning it into an art this week.

6) there's snow on the ice. It not only makes it slicker, it makes a fairly soft landing.

7) "Soft" landing is in the eye of the balance impaired. I can get up and keep walking, but my shoulders and ass feel like they were in a train wreck a few hours later.

8) I've taken up sliding down my driveway, it hurts less.

9) thank God nobody's fallen into the drink trying to save a truck this season. If the truck is sliding off the dock...let it go.

10) All in all, it's gorgeous. But all beauty in nature is dangerous.

Dukes of Hazzard

I'm watching this stupid movie again. I can't help it. I've always had a soft spot for Bo and Luke (Not vance and cody...the posers).
Although, having the guys from SuperTroopers make appearances is kinda like watching Buckaroo Banzai have a scene with Jay and Silent Bob. (If you haven't seen that web fic, it really is pretty good)

There's nothing that'll replace Jon Schneider as Bo Duke. SWS did pretty good, but Jon....*sigh*
Smallville's all the better because of him.

I love the movie's soundtrack,tho. I tried to copy it once, but it wouldn't let me. I prefer to make my own compilations. Making the disks hard to copy is a load of crap. I could have lived just fine without all the other crappy songs from Toby Keith If I could have gotten the two good ones he ever had without buying his CD. (it made nice sparks in the microwave, I'll give it that)

New blog?

The blogs are switching to Google accounts?

Eh, I might try that. It does go a little against my grain to change up to something I'd call a new version of MySpace. Is it me, or is Google turning into more of a monster than it has been?
