I dunno, every season has up points. I do prefer winter to summer, though. Summer is hot and nasty. Unless you’re swimming. In the winter you can put more things on or cuddle up with someone if you are cold, but in the summer you can only take so much off before you are naked and still hot. Bleh to summer.

There’s summer school and summer jobs from late May to early August, the weather’s hot, all the mosquitoes are revived and pissed, the smell of bug spray permeates the air, TV is all reruns, movies are at their corniest, and people are general ticking time bombs because of the heat. But it sure beats the full on work time.

Definitely summer. Longer days, go to the lake, take the shirt off, party outside, watch beautiful young women blossom. These are just a few of the many reasons why summer is the best time of the year. October is cool because it’s college football season and you get to see beautiful young women blossom on campus, but the positives of summer outweigh those of fall. Much props to Matt for the blogs about old school soda, 80′s commercials, and McDonald’s.

New Survey, what was your favorite survey in this SNT?
Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 02/25/2007 12:21 PM
1.Well I missed SNT, but that’s cause I was feeling like crap. I’ll start off by saying Happy Birthday to Cameron T. today! And you all know you can wish me a Happy Birthday tomorrow! I did watch the beginning of SNL for the first time in a very very long time, but b/c I am out of the loop completely I turned it off b/c I didn’t who the band or the guest was!
2.I choose summer b/c I don’t care how hot it is, or hot I am I would rather be that way than cold!
3.Indie film, I haven’t seen many I don’t think, but I do enjoy me some Bubba Ho-Tepp
4.As for my favorite NES games Dr. Mario, Zelda and Mario 3!
“New Survey, what was your favorite survey in this SNT?”
Well, the NES one gave me another excuse to type the words Final Fantasy, the indie one let me wax about Cusack, and the season and timetravel ones brought out the emo in me.
I can’t decide, they all suit me so well *sniff*

Las Vegas summers blow too. Its already in the high sixties here. i know boo hoo for me. Spring is PERFECT here. But then summer hits and people die, literally.
Chestnuts roasted by citygirl @ 02/25/2007 5:34 PM
I’d say October, but early/mid September would be even better. The first week of Halloween stuff out at Walgreens and the final disappearance of all back-to-school merchandise is what I’m shooting for.
not sure if im missing any other surveys, or surveys about surveys, or surveys about surveys about surveys…i could go on doing that for next to forever, but i’ll leave it at that

You mean the original NES cart, Josh? If so, welcome to the wild world of FF l33t.
That is of course if you have the guide, maps and box…
Chestnuts roasted by K- @ 02/25/2007 8:05 PM
K-: actually i dunno if its the original cart, its called final fantasy ‘adventures’ i think it might be a mix of a couple of the earliest ones, but i could be absoluuuutly wrong budd!
great game though!
no box, no nothin’! i actually found it in my house along with the gameboy after a party i had a few years back…FINDERS KEEPERS BABY!!!!!!!!!

The only celebrity I have talked to is Richard Gant (of JASON GOES TO HELL fame) at the Paris airport (!!!) but I have seen the following people:
1. Arnold Palmer (Jax airport)
2. C. Everett Koop (Philadelphia airport)
3. Meinhardt Raabe (the Munchkin Coroner at the Clay County Fair)
4. One of the guys from FISHBONE was walking around before the WARPED TOUR but I didn’t say anything.
Not a very good list but points for being eclectic??
Favorite survey? Not sure but I am a little surprised the season one had such good legs. Good job Matt.

Anyone watching the Oscars? I missed most of it cause of work and I looked at some of the winners.
Jennifer Hudson just won for “Dreamgirls”…Good.
Alan Arkin won for “Little Miss Sunshine”…Awesome.
Best Animated Feature was…Happy Feet?! WTF????
I wish it was December 14th 2004 or 2005, back when my ex and I were still dating. Only reason we broke up is coz her “feelings changed” I feel that she’s “the one” (probably sounds silly) and I’ll wait for her as long as it takes…but I’m probably bringing down the board. Sorry bout that…I just love her so much, and wanted to share with my XE fam…see if they had ne suggestions (plus it’s been FOREVER since i’ve posted )
Get the new Ataris album, Jabo. Also, I’d love to tell you to move on, but I’d be a hypocrite. Seems I’ve started a trend with the exact dates.

So, I kept thinking about this spring/fall thing, and I woke up this morning, turned over and grabbed my DS – I started playing Animal Crossing, and all the snow had melted away! It was nice to see green grass on the ground again. I immediately felt “springy”, but then – I got up and looked outside. 3-4 inches of snow and it’s coming down like there’s no tomorrow. Punch in the face.
So, instead of waiting for that last little bit of ice to melt away from a week or so ago – I got to go shovel this brand new snow for an hour. Luckily it was light and fluffy … but still. Now I have to go to bed because I am supposed to be at work at 6am.

How did you do that crying smiley, Ryane? Or anyone else, since she’s in bed now. I need access to that smiley. So freakin’ emo.

Damn, I missed SNL tonight! Rainn Wilson was on! I was at another Mixer though, some good times, screwing with pledges, etc.
It’ll be on again…I hope…
I personally like late spring, like April or May. Not too hot, not too cold, but juuuuuuuust riiiiiiight.
Indie…Hmm. I’ll take Clerks, too.
I really want to see the Reno 911! movie, but work and other crap have been preventing me from going!
There’s a new Ben & Jerry’s ice cream titled Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream. It should be awesome.
NEW TOPIC! Celebs you met. I told my pledges to remember this one, here are who I’ve met:
Lewis Black
Gallagher
David Hyde Pierce
Josh Blue
Biz Markie
