Well snow has finally come to stay for this winter. It’s very festive and all…but it’s…well COLD!

Personally I’m not sure why we don’t, as a species, collectively do something about this whole “winter” thing. I mean if we can send people/craft to other planets, surely we can adjust the axis of our own to normalize the seasons a bit…I mean this is our planet…ITS RIGHT HERE FOR PETE’S SAKE!! NASA, JPL - I hereby assign you to the new “winter elimination project”. The objective: Stop snow - or at least move it to some other part of the Earth (I’m sure we can force the UN to release a statement that it’s for the best).

Anyway, not much is new here. Many of you may have guessed as much given the week long period of bloglessness (I know it was just killing most of you).

Still, I’m expecting for that all to change in the near future…you see The Fates have sent me a message!

“Be prepared for a sudden, needed, and happy change in plans!”

I thought for a while that it could be something about my upcoming birthday (Dec. 11th), but the only way for that to be a change in plans is for me to die and not reach my 27th year…and that’s not too “happy” (”needed” is also at issue)…so anyway that cant be it. Then I thought perhaps it had something to do with some of the kick ass movies coming out next week that I’m dying to see…but none of that would be “sudden”. So…I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure that it must mean that I’ll be employed soon.

This put me in such a good mood I put my Christmas tree up. It’s beautiful - fake - but beautiful. I’m also burning a pine scented candle to complete the illusion of a Christmas tree. (aren’t I smart!?)

Soon, I’ll be taking bets as to what date the tree will actually be taken down. It survived quite a while past Christmas last year. This was due partly to laziness and also to the fact that it is just so dang beautiful - I decorate a mean tree. (ok, it was mostly the lazy thing)

Oh, and I have one other interesting piece of information for you. My brother and I are giving serious thought to maybe “running” in a half-marathon sometime in the future. Believe me, a half-marathon is a big deal… I hate running… and I’m in horrible shape.

Hmm… I wonder if this could have anything to do with that other fortune I got.
