adelheid_pThe answer is, apparently, El Nino. Still, I would very much prefer snow as that doesn't seem to flood the basement. Also, I'd like to have a nice good ground freeze to kill as many insect larvae as possible. On the other hand, I don't miss the overly cautious/clueless drivers in Pittsburgh snow storms and the raiding of the stores for bread and milk every time we're due to get more than one inch of snow, etc. I hear we'll be getting snow later on this week. As with all predicted weather, I'll believe it when I see it.
In other news, I got my hair cut today --well trimmed is probably more accurate. I haven't really deviated from the cut that I've maintained for awhile now but it is shorter than in recent months. It's still about shoulder length, though.
I'm planning on taking my holiday tree down this week. It took me a few days to get it up so it will probably take as long to take it down. Since this is a new tree and new lights I'll have to figure out some method for efficiently breaking down the tree and storing the lights. It's not apparent in the picture, but I'm using blue LED lights this year.

Yesterday was the local SF organization, PARSEC, meeting and the topic was The History of Filk, presented by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mrgoodwraith. It was interesting and I wish we had more time for it. Maybe there can be a Filk update later on this year at the meeting. After that was a Housefilk hosted by a couple of people in the Pittsburgh Filk scene. The conversation in between songs turned to the Internet and among other things, the blogosphere at which point I remembered this filk written by annechen67 called Five Hundred Friends and so, of course, I had to share it. Unfortunately, none of this was recorded as not many in the area showed up and we wrapped up by about 9:30 pm. Maybe there will be better attendance at future housefilks.
