I just stretched while sitting at my desk, and my shirt ripped at the elbow.

Can you see the snow? It’s in there!

Arcata is 33 feet above sea level and yesterday around 1pm it started snowing here.  Matt and I were so excited that we went on our dog walk in it and took lots of video footage.  Later, Monica and I talked about how we have seen lots of hail here but no snow.  And let me tell you, as a person born and raised in MI this counted as SNOW!  The flakes were huge and falling very thickly.  We kept trying to catch snowflakes on our tougnes but they would just smack you in the face! Causing chilly blindness.  The snow stuck and later in the day the storm broke up.  This just brought the hail.  Currently we’re experiencing  low 40’s degree weather with showers of sleet, hail and rain mixed with patches of amazingly bright sunshine.  Plus, I have a 1/2” accumulation of snow/hail on my lawn and there are little piles of hail everywhere. 

Crazy, hello global warming! Welcome to Arcata once a zone nine now I bet we’re an eight.

January 30th is national delete your myspace account day… below are just some of the many reasons why you should do this:

1. You rarely log in to Myspace except to delete spam friend requests from nude webcam girls.

2. You spend five minutes writing a wall post only to hit an error message when you try to post it because of all the website glitches.

3. You’re a girl who constantly gets marriage proposals from random men in the middle east.

4. You visit someone’s Myspace profile only to suddenly have music start blasting out of your speakers. Bonus points if it happens to you while you’re at work.

5. You have to make redundant clicks to perform simple tasks because Myspace keeps taking you to advertisement pages where you have to click on “return to myspace profile” in order to continue what you’re doing.

6. You visit someone’s profile only to have your eyes bleed because of terrible page layout with non-matching designs and font colors.

7. Your experience is hindered because of intrusive banner ads that either talk to you or try to reach out and block your view of what you’re trying to look at.

8. You read yet another news account about how some child predator using Myspace has abducted a little girl or that some hoax myspace account has caused a teenager to commit suicide.

9. You’re frustrated with the fact that Myspace doesn’t allow you to post your contact info, meaning to contact someone you can only use Myspace’s glitchy Instant Messenger, message/email system, or wall commenting.

10. You’re tired of seeing Tom stare out at you from millions of friends lists and just wish he would change his fucking profile picture.

Wait six weeks, and we’ll have “delete your facebook account day”
