Snow Free For Three Days
2008-02-12 23:23:00
Copyright © 2008 Jayne d'Arcy. Visit the original article at http://www.jaynedarcy.us/2008/02/12/snow- free-for-three-days/.So far, despite a couple of dire predictions from the weatherman, we haven’t had snow for three days now. The weather has warmed up just enough to relieve roofs of much of their burden. Yards are a different matter as most are still stuck with at least a foot and a half of snow that needs to melt. Most of the streets are blessedly clear, but there are still a lot of mountainous plow drifts everywhere. The city is considering breaking some of the larger ones up, otherwise they’d be melting well into Spring.

You don’t have to be a Blog Ninja to take part but if you want the “special loving” click here. This topic is brought to you by Killer and Biologisvensk You awaken to find yourself stranded on a deserted island with nothing but a pocket knife, a bottle of Jack Daniels, and Britney Spears. How did you get there, and what do you do now? In my worst nightmare, I won a Teen Beat contest in which I was spending a day with Britney Spears. Part of that horrible day took place on her private jet as we headed out over the Pacific. The pilot really couldn’t fly and I was trying desperately to block out the sound of Spears’ voice, when the plane crashed. All that survived was me, Spears and that bottle of Jack Danie...

Snape or Barnabas Collins

Copyright © 2008 Jayne d'Arcy. Visit the original article at http://www.jaynedarcy.us/2008/02/09/snape -or-barnabas-collins/.I don’t get my brain sometimes. Ok. Most of the time. It’s definitely a part of me that I often have little control over. So, here’s the thing… I’ve been reading Snape fan fiction (yeah, I admit it so shut up!) for the last few days. One was a romance, but mostly it’s been “The Further Adventures of the Hogwarts Gang” type of FF that mostly focuses on Snape. Usually when I dive into one subject or character reading like this, I tend to wind up dreaming about that universe. A dream about Severus Snape would be nice, but with my brain I’d just as easily wind up dreaming about Argus Filch. Urgh. Blech. Just nightmarish. Considering that we’d also finished watching the BBC production of Sweeney Todd where David Bradley (Filch) played Todd’s father and looked EXACTLY like Filch…...
