Christmas is coming!  That said, I want snow.  Snow, snow, snow!  

Today I picked up some theme-y things at the thrift store: 3 snowmen dinner plates, a frosted winter scene glass, Slumdog Millionaire dvd ($2!), and 2 hangy Christmas scented sachets.  :)

Frostbite update

So...Yes, my ears were definitely frostbitten. This morning I spent approximately fifteen minutes in front of the bathroom mirror, peeling off crackly half-inch sections of burnt ear. Well, not "ear," but dry, dead, ear skin. My molting ears. They are still burning a little. And I'm sure you wanted to know all this. Green tea lotion is soothing to the ears, by the way...

Frostbite

The last time I was stupid enough to get frostbitten was in 2002 or 2003. However, it seems both my ears feel frostbitten today. I was trying to warm them up on the bus this morning, but it felt so much like the tops were consisting of raw, bleeding skin that I looked at my fingers afterward in the hopes of proving myself wrong. For the record, my ears were not bleeding. At the moment, they are burning still. If I touch them with my fingers, they feel like a tiny child with sharp, pointy nails has pinched them and left gouges in them. In other words, they may be frostbitten.

Folded Image

After mounting an 11x17" print this morning, I noticed that 1/3 of the print had folded over and that the underside had glued itself to the foam board that protects the print from the press during mounting. I've never made that mistake before. I'll have to reprint the entire print now, unfortunately. On the upside, I had found a few minor errors that I was wishing to correct but didn't care to pay for another print just to correct them. Now I get to fix things.

Winter in Central Canada.

If you ask a Manitoban if Manitoba is part of Western Canada, he will say, "yes." If you ask a British Columbian the same question, he will raise one eyebrow, laugh at you, and say, "no." Thus, I conclude that Manitoba is a part of Central Canada.
