"Why did you throw yourself from the bridge?"
The boy, still shivering, replied: "I wanted to know what it's like to be a Pooh stick."

Colour(less)
I'm so tired of this monochrome world surrounding me that I played some with the colour so... oh well, I realise this patch of snow looks a bit like a dog with a bladder infection pissed on it but... at least it's not grey...

Reflecting on snow
A somewhat confusing photo but it gives some perspective on the amount of snow we got in the last few days. Official measurement was 44 cm (about 18 inches) but it sure seemed more in the area where I live (which is quite possible as the density of precipitation can vary even within a few kilometres of the weather station). We weren't spared snow showers today either but they didn't add much to the existing snow cover. I'm still nursing a cold so I didn't venture outside at all today.

Fairy Tale or Nightmare?
Definitely no fairy tale for me.
We haven't had a day without snowing since Sunday. And the white stuff (I'm tempted to call it something stronger) just keeps accumulating. It's driving me mad already! And, according to the weather people there's more of the same to come and there is no end to this madness in the foreseeable future! I want to burrow in a den and hibernate this misery away!
Tagged!
Thom tagged me with a meme called EMINENT EIGHTS - whatever that is supposed to mean. Now, if I do memes at all I do them my way and don't give a flying fig about the rules.
Oh well, here goes:
Oh well, here goes:
(we? who on earth is 'we'?)
I reckon I should rephrase this question to
8 TV shows I remember watching in the last 5 years
(and I'm still not sure i can name 8)
oh well, let's try then:
CSI: Miami
CSI: New York
CSI: Las Vegas
Without a Trace
Shark
House
Midsomer Murders
Foyle's War
end of this boring snow/rain cycle (the prospects are bleak)
the sun (when, oh when...)
longer days
recovering from the cold
spring
good food
good drink
hanging around with friends
(happened to me or happened in general - can't you be more specific?)
woke up
went to work
it f**ing snowed again
coffee with friends
home from work
have dinner
watch sport on TV
blog a little
Pft, whoever dreamed up this question must be a masochist or has never spent a winter someplace like where I live
snow in the urban areas
slush ditto
cold
fog and low clouds (especially low clouds hanging above the place forever)
no sun for weeks
short days
having to wear heavy clothes
christmastime
Ok, here's a few things I enjoy, sort of
good food
good drink
photography
friends (when they don't break my heart)
sea
sun
warm weather
a good book
erm... I don't use phrases in English all that often but
Pft!
is surely no.1
As for the rest...:
Oh well...
Beats me
I'm sorry
So what
Shit
I love this (hey, I blog, too)
Oh no!
I often wonder whether I have learned anything at all...
You don't choose your family
Don't pretend to be who you are not
Think before you speak
Always mind your Ps and Qs
A broken heart is a horrible thing
Humans are disappointing
Fair play won't get you anywhere but it may win you a friend now and again
Treat everybody with respect
I am so not doing this and nobody can make me!

3WT in 55
The beast snapped at Sheitan's thropple but the mutt evaded the attack. No second attempt ensued and the two adversaries stood staring at each other in a stalemate.
"You two really are incompossible," said the man, harling startled Sheitan away from the beast. "Perhaps rescuing that orphan cougar wasn't such a great idea after all."
