margaritaville sans palm trees and sunshine

Dec 07, 2007 12:27

Last night it began to rain, and then sometime in the middle of the night it turned to snow, and now it's - well, I think it wants to be snow, but these are the reject flakes that flunked Snowing 101. It's really just glop. And it's still glopping. There's about an inch of stuff on the ground that if you scooped it up and added tequila, lime, ( Read more... )

The dsss is now refusing to write. I've been poking it with a big stick, since three days of no writing is a lot of time and the thing should be finished and off to beta last weekend. And now the brain seems to have gone into caffeinated depression mode.

Either I have to work out a plot bypass (and nothing springs to mind) or just fucking write it without huge digressions, which might be meaningful but not pertinent to the plot and getting through this thing in time.

so: EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

Just fucking write it! As Hugh might tell you. :-)

Now if I can only take that advice as well...

We don't even have reject flakes down here. We just have rain. Icky December rain.

Hmm, you're only a couple hundred feet of elevation lower than we are. I think we're just really close to the rain/snow line. The flakes are mostly but not quite completely melted when they fall.

And yeah, icky. This is October or April weather, not December weather!

Oh, that's just the worst sort of weather, isn't it, that cold-wet snow that hovers just on the edge of freezing and threatens to make everything icy and unpleasant.

I hope you get some nice ski-worthy snow soon!

I am on call for beta, whenever.

Yeah, although I am sure that it's falling as real snow at the ski area, which is another 2000 feet of elevation (just for the base - of course the top is even higher). So as long as it keeps snowing, we should be set to take a little break on the slopes early next week.

And I am grateful for the beta offer, as I may need a faster-than-light turnaround.

HEE. That's kind of weirdly adorable. Good luck with the writing and website design!

ICON LOVE!

*sadly has no snowflake icon*

Glopping is the most depressing thing ever. Seriously. (Although, if you get the frozen margarita idea to work...:D)

Skiing, woo! Enjoy!

It is STILL GLOPPING out there. I'm just hoping that it will get cold enough tonight to turn to actual real snow. Me, I'm going to sit at home with the next episode of Sharpe and a hot alcoholic drink and a cat and a husband.

And yeah, we were nervous because of the predicted dry warm winter - last time we got passes we barely broke even. I'd really like to do a lot of skiing this year.
