Really, I do.... I love the rain, cold weather, etc. And when its raining here, its snowing at my favorite ski resorts.

Its been raining here in Los Angeles for 2.5 days now - which I view as a good thing.

Bad thing, I woke up at probably 5:30 this morning to the power cutting out, and my 2 UPS screaching. So in a sleepy stupor I climbed out of bed and safely shut down my server and my workstation, just in time for the power to kick back on as I climbed into bed....grrr...

Well, when I finally got up again at about 11:30, I turned my machines back on. First I got horrendously loud feedback blasting through my stereo system. I quickly killed it, and discovered that the mic on my computer somehow got turned on. Turned it back off....now I can hear again, but no matter what I do I'm getting nasty distortion in my speakers. Somewhere between my soundcard, my amp/tuner, and my speakers, something got screwed up. I really don't have the money to replace any of the components right now ($250 for soundcard, $200 for speakers, $200 for amp)...... :(

Anyways...my rant for the morning...

Oh, and BTW, don't drink 8 Vodka Martinis at an art gallery opening when all you've had to eat is the wierd nasty cheeses they put out. Its an especially bad idea when the gallery opening is at your office - trust me on this one.

Nope, always go for the Gibson Option (onions instead of olives) or the Gibbon Option (still onions but make little monkey noises as the barman gives it to you and grab it with both hands then drink it with your right hand over your head and scratching your left ear).

The onions count as sustenance in my book. Plus the vinegar is good.

After last night and all the freaking tornados here in AL, I officially hate rain. They tore up everything. Luckily my house is still standing.

Rain? bah! Give me snow and ice any day! *marches off to her igloo*

i would like rain if it were raining lovely australian men wearing nothing. but as the weather here is not quite THAt strange i suppose i will have to suffice with water, the liquid of life.

Quite the contrary, rain is absolute waste. Snow is a far superior product. Not only do you get all the benifits of being soaked or what not that rain has to offer, but snow contains wonderous properties not associated with water. For example, u can not pick rain up from the ground and hit the meter maid after she gave u a ticket, or bury an abnoxious kid that wont stop crying. In fact if u tried the same approach with rain as snow in that instance, its called murder because the kid accedentally drowns. But most importantly, theres no lemon flavored rain, but lemon flavored snow...

emmm, you do know that yellow snow *isn't* actually lemon-flavoured?

I like rain too, you can do loads a things wit rain but not as much as you can with PATATOES!!! Patatoes r so cooooooooool! You can mash em, you can fry em, you can boil and bake em, I like patatoes, my doc says he says 'Take these twice a day and call me in March' and says to him I says 'What if I takes none till March and then swallow em all when I's in your waiting room' and he says to me 'I have this friend...' oh wait thats not suitable for this!

-
P.S. Patatoes are also good 4 trowing at people you dont like and then cippiling em!

Ow. Ow. Ow.

I hate shoveling the drive way while it's still snowing, because all the snow falls and covers the drive way by the time you're done, making it seem like you've accomplished nothing. Still, If you were to just wait until later there is some times too much snow to be able to accomplish the task easily.
