"There Is Snow Lodged Up My Nose"

Well, it's happened. I lay in bed an extra three hours today, being too god-damn cold to get up, and when I finally dragged myself out of bed I looked outside to see that it had been, and still was, snowing. Usually I'm pretty neutral about snow on the west coast. I mean, it's snow, but it's usually on the wet side, with a distinct slushiness to it. But this is my first experience of snow in Victoria. It wouldn't be so bad, if it wasn't for the wind. See, the snow is very light (and dry, surprisingly), and so the wind comes whipping around from all sides, and blows a little whirlwind of snow all around you, constantly. I mean, the ground is barely coated because the snow doesn't have a chance to just chill before the wind comes like a big jerk and throws it six feet in the air. I would take a picture, but I don't want to go outside. (Thankfully, the class I should be in right now got canceled = no unnecessary walking in the snow for me!) This picture shows that pre-snow clouds of yesterday. Ugh.

Anyways, spreading the love, check out these sites for some potential ear candy:

http://hypem.com/ (and this is just a sweet site for finding random music, mainly of the remix-mashup variety)
