Snow Freakin' Way Man 2: Electric Ig-a-loo

(this picture is actually from last year.)

Our other snow melted but then this one came a couple days ago and it's still here for now. I can't see it now because it's dark. That's why I didn't take a picture of it for this post.

This picture is of my favorite kind of snow, though, the kind that sticks to trees and makes everything look like chocolate-covered pretzels if the chocolate were drained of its color and off-whitified, or if it were just white chocolate to begin with. Winter always makes me come up with the best similes. It makes me feel "poetic," which is a kind of tic that Poe had where he would just blurt out cool-sounding dark imagery without warning.

Oh, i should have been more clear about my last half-a-dumpling contest. I didn't mean to imply that every Tom, Jack, and entrant in the contest was automatically entitled to a half a dumpling. That was meant to be the prize reserved for the winner of the contest, as judged by me. But then so many people started demanding them that i didn't know where my head was anymore. But since it is the Christmas season and i liked all the acronyms, i'm giving everybody a half a dumpling, except Tom and Jack. For a limited time only, they will be hand-delivered in a Polish Power tote bag by His Oyal Highness, my printer.

Blernk.

Just now I was trying to get my printer to print something, when I realized the cord connecting it to my computer was not plugged in. When I plugged it back in, my printer spat out a sheet of paper that was completely blank except for these two letters in the top left corner:

OY

I swear it's true.

Some organizations at my school like to use the "STO" from "St. Olaf" as the first part of the acronym for their name, like STOGROW (St. Olaf Garden Research and Organic Works). Clare and I have decided to form a group called STOTALITARIANISM. I'm still trying to craft a bacronym for it. If you want to give it a shot, that'd be cool. Halves of dumplings will be on the line, as usual.

Apparently, this is how Isral's doing all his posts now.
This is another good example of the style.

snow freakin' way, man.

Yeah, it snowed last night and today. It had been raining most of the day, and when it started snowing, I said to someone "It won't stay on the ground because it's so wet." I'm always telling lies.

I love this season. Clare hates it, but she's from Florida, so it makes sense. Snow for her doesn't conjure up thoughts of the holidays or childhood like it does for me. For her it conjures up thoughts of frostbite and misery. What are you gonna do? Frostbite and misery are in my blood.

I need some egg nog pretty quick. I always feel like I need some egg nog when it snows. Actually, this snow will probably melt, and then I won't need it anymore, but before then, I do. I'll go find some.

Anyway, now I haven't been writing a novel or posting in my blog. I'm just a lazy guy, it seems. Well, I've been doing a lot of work for English and actually kind of enjoying school. Don't you worry about me.

never mind

due to several different things, i'm sitting at about 3000 words in the novel-writing thing. i don't think i'll have the time to catch up, so i'm calling it quits. maybe next year.

freak up your month of november

Like web-friends Katie and Lindsay, I'm doing National Novel Writing Month this year. That's my excuse if I don't be as posty sometimes. I might try to post some excerpts from-a my book in lieu of posts maybe, but i don't know yet. Don't complain, it's all for the name of fun. If anyone wants to read the whole jolly well thing at the end, you're more than welcome to. Assuming it gets finished.
