Um, hi, hello, excuse me?

It's snowing right now. Snowing. Giant, fluffy, golf-ball-sized snowflakes, snowing. In Vancouver, British Columbia, snowing, on the 28th of March. My hibisicus is wilting before my eyes, shrinking back into itself in utter horror.

Yesterday, the sky hurled hail the size of peas at us for a while.

The day before that the hail was the size of marbles, and exploded when it hit the pavement.

There was thunder. There's never any thunder here.

I'm sorry, but I have no choice but to send you all here.

Updates: Holy Frickin' Dude!

I don't even know where to begin so I'm just going to jump right in:

1. I have quit my job. I feel just like Dorothy.
2. On my last day of work three crazy people showed up and attacked me in Joey's. It was all a big conspiracy. TM is still working off his debt.
3. I have actual legitimate reasons for not blogging lately! I have completed and uploaded my own portfolio site. It will be live as early as tomorrow afternoon, as soon as my domain name has been "propagated throughout the main Internet servers." I don't really know what this means, except that maybe my web hosting service is sending a memo to God on my behalf?... That was a joke.
When its genetic material is finished being incorporated you'll be able to access it at firstnamelastname.ca (For those of you who haven't had your double shot mocha latte yet this morning, that was a code, to continue my attempt at anonymity). I'm excited!
4. I had a job interview yesterday for a job which I wasn't really sure I wanted, but now that I have more details, I really REALLY want indeed. Which is just SO annoying - now I have to be all nervous about whether or not I get it.
5. Having now been unemployed for exactly two weeks today, I have finished the following projects, in addition to the aforementioned website:
T Stocking
TM's Christmas Stocking
A Stocking
My Christmas Stocking
to be faced
This faceless doll... okay, this one isn't done, but I just thought it looked cute sitting in the sun. And maybe a little bit morbid.
In addition to these, I have also finished my purple sweater with hand-carved buttons (not hand-carved by me, just knitted by me), a giant bag of natural sliver (is now in neat skeins), and this morning I even gave my wheel some much needed maintenance.

Right now, I am, as TM and I would say, a dynamo!

Banfftastic

That's my new word.

This is why.
