Dear rotation + trajectory of earth: we would like spring now please. Kthxbye.

The second-quickest way to invite my scorn? Be a telemarketer and call at dinner time. The quickest way to invite my scorn? Be a telemarketer, call at dinner and try to sell me a subscription to the Toronto Sun. For bonus scorn, argue with me when I say no.

The new Silver Mt. Zion (etc., etc.) album garnered an A- from the Onion AV Club. I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet, but I just assume I’ll love it. Maybe I’ll take the same approach that I did with Horses In The Sky: buy it, put it on my Zen, forget about it, and then nearly have a stroke six months later when I hear a song like “Teddy Roosevelt’s Guns” for the first time.

One of these arrived in the mail last week. I bought this one from Threadless last week. Now I’m tempted to buy this. I need help.

Who’s kvetching now, bitch?
I wanted that Threadless tee, but they were already out of my size by the time I saw it had been reprinted. I settled for this one instead.
Kvetching? I’m wondering about the lack of spring, since it seems unusually late this year. In my prior post, which you linked to, I was shaking my head at people who kvetch about there being snow in Toronto in winter, which is like living in New York and expressing shock at high rents.
I woke up to the nice little BT weatherman telling me that last year on this day we set a record of 20C and that todays high was 4C.
Fuckin’ Frank.
Cold and snow in March? In Canada?? That *never* happens.
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! leave Frank alone.
Joseph: you’ve done a wonderful job of misrepresenting what I said and then criticizing your own misrepresentation. Bravo.
Cold and snow in March in Canada, specifically Toronto, does indeed happen often. You know what else happens often? Warmer days. The average high in Toronto in March is 5 degrees; we’re nearly at the end of the month and we’ve had, what, maybe 1 or 2 days that reached that high?
I’m not bemoaning the fact that we had winter; I’m bemoaning the fact that we don’t have spring yet. Thanks though.
