Today was a beautiful sunny day here in Seattle and the high temperature was a balmy 62� (16.7�, for those of you operating on the Celcius scale).
62�!
In January!
I know I wished I had some snow around me a month or so ago, and I still do, but 62� and walking around without a jacket on, well, that's damn hard to argue with.
I think I'll go and get a tan...

F(*# you, it's snowing like hell here.
(Not that I mind snow, but I do mind people that don't know how to drive in it.)
BTW, what did you send me today? I was busy moving my desk when you IMed me.

Its snowing here. Happy days.
It was that warm on Thursday, Jason. I hope it never happens again. We need snow. And cold. Its not a good winter without snow and cold.

I think the word you're looking for, Bekah, is "fuck." It entertains me to no end that you refuse to type it (or say it, most times that I can remember, now that I think about it).
I sent you this, which you should enjoy. Other people should, too, but I don't really want to blog it, especially since I found it on Making Light to begin with.
The Bard - Without snow and cold it's not really winter at all, in my mind. Which is fine. If it's not going to be winter it should not be winter like it was today, instead of being marginally chill and damp. That's... well... boring!

It's not as bad as the phone calls I get from my brother in So Cal when he says that it's in the upper 60's or 70's and he's going to work in a polo shirt. Filthy bastard!

I have to side with becka on the usage of certain words, i know i dont use them IRL so theres no reason to use them online.
im certain that those who use them light heartedly mean no offense; but there are plenty of other ways to express the same feeling without resorting to them.

Oh, hey, if you're not going to curse in life, you're not going to curse. Nothing wrong with that. It's the way Bekah's censoring herself while in actuality cursing that entertains me. I mean, Bekah's a smart girl and one might easily say she's linguistically adept. If she really wanted to not curse, she has a vast array of options open to her. But, you know, she doesn't. Which I think is funny.
Me, my only filter is when I'm in line-of-sight of a child. Everything else, including class and business, has been (and will continue to be) fair game.
Ben? Weather like that is one of the many reasons I don't live in St. Louis. Though "Psychotic Rage" does sound like it'd be fun for a little while...

Yeah but the clean-up afterward is a real pain.

Well, we've got us a blizzard here today. Check out my Blog for my weird discriptions of it. I think I shall write an ode in the form of Wordsworth.

I never curse on blogs because I don't know who's reading them. :-)
I don't even curse on my *own* blog.
But in real life, hey, f*&@ it.

Not just the blogs, Bekah my dear. I've heard you say "fark" -far- more often than "fuck." And so on.
As for the link, nothing I can do about it - it's linked to the right thing, they just took it down. Pity.
