do you normally get snow this time of season?

I understand that snow flurries are not unusual, but this was certainly out of the ordinary for this time of year. It felt like a blizzard!

lol, yup. It was pretty nuts. It looked lovely until everything started to melt, though - now it's just a muddy mess. But more moisture is better than less, considering that we're coming into fire season up here.

yup. The first sign I had of it was when I woke right up out of a dead sleep to the sound of massive slabs of snow sliding off the roof of my tent.

It was probably five or six times all together - I could hear it happening on mine but also whenever it slid off my neighbours' tents too. Quite startling, and random enough that I didn't get used to it.

But, I did make a couple snowballs. ^_^

Hi, random comment from nowhere, I spotted your Holmes icon on XKCD and had to wander over to see if you had any more I could stea*cough* look at. (I don't use them, I just collect them, from everywhere, like butterflies. Something about icons is fascinating to me. I shudder to think how many I have floating around my hard drive gathering virtual dust)

Anyhow, I have discovered that ALL of your userpics are quite brilliant, so I feel the need to comment and tell you so :)

That is all *nods* You may resume normal activities now.

aw, thanks! :D :D Only a couple of them are mine, I'm pretty sure the rest are credited to their makers, but yeah I kind of went a little overboard after I saw SH and stuffed a bunch of icons in there.

(I peeped your journal, and I have to agree about the mainstream fangirl crush. ;D)

Hehe, glad you didn't mind :) I'm long overdue for an icon makeover. I've had some of these for years *eyeroll*
There are a bunch of screen caps and images from all of my fandoms sitting there waiting to be cropped and splattered with text, I just never seem to think of it when I'm in the mood to play with them. My next set will definitely have some RDJ somewhere though :p

Have you read the Holmes books? They're brilliant, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed them, and how close the canon characters actually are to their film counterparts. Still working my way through the collection, but I highly recommend it. [/ramble] Ok, I'll stop spamming your journal now. Probably. *runs away*

heh. I started reading the Holmes stories when I was about 12. ^_^ Found a bunch of copies (that I still have) at a yard sale on a family trip when I was about 12, and I'm a pretty big fan of the Jeremy Brett adaptations.

I did really enjoy what they did with the movie - I thought RDJ's accent would be a dealbreaker for me, but although it was obviously a bit silly it was not anywhere near as bad as it could have been.

Also, "You wear a jacket." is one of my favourite bits, surpassed only by the bit in my icon. :D
