it's ::snowing:: outside ... snow. white. falling. outside.
damn.
ii pulled up the blinds in my bedroom this morning and it was all white outside. lol. shit.

wow. i was in shock for a few seconds, unable to comprehend what that was. lol. there's about two inches of it on the grass and it'll melt away pretty fast. but this is shocking. lol

in other news, congrats to the Calgary Flames for winning their series against the Red Wings last night with a 1-0 win - at home - in overtime. damn.

i gotta agree with David here: it's quite extraordinary that Bush is once again peddling the idea that somehow, we (probably the anti-war group), actually have little faith in muslims, or colored people, being able to govern themselves. the idea is so out of left-field that it works as diversion. but it also works to prop Bush up as a compassionate, a uniter, and most importantly - not a racist. well. i was startled by the the first time i heard. it was right before the invasion, i believe. i'd never heard anyone talk about a) how the iraqis wouldn't be able to govern themselves properly, and b) because they were muslims. either he was trying to divert attention and make his crusade somehow pure, or in his circle of people the idea that somehow muslims couldn't, or we couldn't believe they could, govern themselves had been expressed. seems a bit racist to me. like a racist trying to make the opposition racist. in any way, it's all quite baffling to me that Bush ever mentioned the idea, and that he's trying to peddle it again. seems the Rove machine is running out of gas. and fast.
