But what would I have to complain about endlessly from November to April?
You can always live near a college and complain about those damn kids being on your lawn.
I would be there right now.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need to live in a place where it is between 72 and 80 every day.
Are you achieving that? It's been below 70 for me for a couple weeks now.

If you move to Vancouver or San Francisco, Sue, they'll be plenty of weather to bitch about all year round! But you'll be a lot less likely to DIE if you go outside!
Hello, earthquakes??
I used to say to people when I lived in Vancouver that I had a feeling that I would never experience an earthquake in my lifetime. People usually reacted by looking like I had just tempted the earthquake gods and would start clutching the walls.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It is pretty cold in the mornings, but it has gotten into the 70s in the Valley most days, even if it's just for a few hours.

Simi, usually the armpit of hell, doesn't seem to have made it that far. Might be the winds. West LA certainly hasn't.
Just watched the trailer for SLiTHER. Nice job. Go team Fillion.

I'd turn into a cheerful person or something else equally appalling.
There is that to consider....
msbelle, snail mail or email? Which is a dumb question, because either way, the answer is newp.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
My view is that the purpose of winter is to enhance the enjoyment of dark ales. In this it succeeds admirably. Thus making it not so bad.
I therefore bestow upon winter the coveted grade of "Meets Expectations".

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Today=much better than yesterday, at least so far. I was late to work, but I was told not to rush since I was one of two people who came in yesterday. Nat. boss called my boss to tell her I was awesome for putting together a thing for our conference (this works well for both boss and I since boss has been going to bat for me, so now Nat. boss has a clear idea of who I am and what I do, and boss doesn't look like she's just talking out of her ass). We have a christmas party in about an hour. I get off early today. And this morning there was an email from the director of the Katrina project laying out a solid plan to help my lady from yesterday.
I took Hec's book with me to the bar last night where it was coveted by Mr. Jane's coworkers and a music critic from our weekly rag. I will show it off to our musically inclined friends tonight- so Hec, be prepared for sales to shoot up by at least 8.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My view is that the purpose of winter is to enhance the enjoyment of dark ales.
Heh -- spoken like a Brit.
