<\/a>We had a very nice snow this weekend, in that it dropped six inches on the ground, two on paved surfaces, was good for snowballs and snowmen, and hot chocolate and sledding, and then the day got warm and a lot of it went away.<\/p>\n

I took a shot of a snowflake, seen above — it looked like a tiny little person hanging for dear life. I snapped the shot, and then my breath melted the icy tether holding it to the larger\u00a0snowclump<\/em>, and the little snowflake tumbled to the earth, where it was eaten by sharks.<\/p>\n

Ice sharks.<\/p>\n

Okay, I don’t know if there were ice sharks down there, I didn’t look.<\/p>\n

WHATEVER.<\/p>\n

Don’t @ me.<\/p>\n

Anyway! What else is up.<\/p>\n

I have a cold. So that’s nice. I mean, almost literally, it’s nice, because I guess it could’ve been the flu? I suspect I caught it from my six-year-old, who during dinner a few nights ago basically coughed on my food. He’s usually pretty good about controlling his aerosolized illness, but I dunno if the cough was a surprise or he was just like, “Fuck it, I’m sick, so you’re sick, *hackptoo*” but here we are, and now I’m sick.<\/p>\n

So, to remind you, I’ll be at EMERALD CITY COMICCON starting next week. And that means it is time to reveal my schedule!<\/p>\n

*pulls back curtain*<\/p>\n

*blood and locusts*<\/p>\n

Ha ha wrong curtain hold on<\/p>\n

*pulls back different curtain*<\/p>\n

*schedule is revealed!*<\/p>\n

You can find\u00a0a<\/em> schedule for me here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, but I don’t think it’s complete.<\/p>\n

Here is a much better, more intimate<\/em> look at my schedule.<\/p>\n
