March 20 (two weeks ago): Winter looks at the calendar and drops several inches of snow on Des Moines, thinking we might forget what it looked like after three solid months of the stuff. It is very cold ( Read more... )

According to the three pages of Twilight I read, you go live in some hazy town in Seattle where it rains 10 out of 12 months.

I didn't get far enough to see where sparkly vampire guy migrates to during the sunny season.

I have not read any of Twilight at all, but I have read Sunshine, which is by far the superior vampire book. It taught me that vampires live wherever the hell vampires want to live, which is apparently underground mansions of some sort. But it could have been at the North Pole!

OMG YOU CAN HAZ READ SUNSHINE!! Did I already know that?? Maybe I did. Anyway, I am eternally in love with that novel. One of my friends wrote a Sunshine fanfic for NaNo (don't tell Robin McKinley!), which led to MANY awesomely nerdy conversations about the Sunshine-verse.

Hah, I don't know if we talked about it or not. I've read all of her books except the compilations she did with her husband. Did you read Dragonhaven? I adore that book, but everyone on Amazon is like "She perfectly captured the voice of her protagonist, but since he's a boy this book sucks!" ::sigh:: And Chalice was really good, too!

Apparently her next book is about a pegasus. I wonder how that one'll go? At the very least, I think she'll win back the people clamoring for more stories about girls and their horses. :P

But, my post is completely in line with what I usually do - that is, post random nonsense that interests me. Yours is completely out of line with what you usually do, which is ignore the parts of the internet I hang out on entirely. Therefore, I fail to understand what you're implying with your "joke."

I was implying that your weather was Iowa's drawn out 4th of July prank.
But now you've drawn all the humor out of it entirely.

But I AM in line with what I usually post. Strange crap that happens to me. Unless you're talking about the locking thing, which is only necessary if I start talking about work. I fail to understand your comment. Congratulations, you've now confused me.

...I am so very confused right now as well. I was trying to imply you posting at all, and promising to do so more often, was April Fool's...

Argh, we argue over the silliest things. Call me tomorrow night, maybe? I promise to be very sympathetic about the horror that is Ridgecrest, and won't even mention Mike. (See, I learned his name! Since you typed it out, anyway.)

Ooooh, excellent question. It would be cool to migrate up and down to get the longest nights possible. And oof, Des Moines weather is demented.

See, that's what I was thinking, but perhaps vampires would get tired of all that snow? But then they could vacation in the tropics, I guess.

It so very is. This is why my car always has an extra jacket, umbrella, and gloves in it.
