snow morning

bonsai number one got a hair cut last night. he looks a little shaved today. i gave him bonsai tonic too - he's looking a little worse for wear. poor dude. when i look at him and then look at bonsai number two, i think: i hope i can keep number two in better condition than this guy.

went to see 2 films over the weekend: nick and norah's infinite playlist and underworld: rise of the lycans. both were quite enjoyable, though underworld didn't have nearly enough good fight scenes.
and on the way home from the cinema it was kind of hail stoning, just little ones, and because the road was dry, they weren't sticking to anything. so the wind was blowing them around the road in crazy waves and swirls. it looked really cool. we kept looking out for snow last night, but the weather did not co-operate. however, we woke up this morning to a thin layer of snow covering everything. it's melting quickly, but it's still pretty.

the downside of the snow, though, is that everything is freezing. it's 11.5º in here - i can barely type my hands are so cold.

i can't think of anything else to say. i'm not working 'til 12 today. i'm supposed to be writing right now. i think i may just go into the sitting room and turn on the fire and write in my a4 pad. yes. that sounds good. and i'll sit on the floor, right next to the flames.

[edit] yes - i knew there was more i wanted to write about. lordkilljoy's xbox died last night. it got the fatal red ring of death. so we are sending it off this week (hopefully tomorrow). i'll miss fable2, and i really wanted to play rock band again. but at least microsoft will repair it under warranty and have it back to us within 2 weeks.

the other thing is: me and lordkilljoy are thinking of getting a pet gecko. just a little one. i've kind of always wanted a pet reptile. i think they are adorable.
