There are times when I go blank in there because my brain wants to hibernate.
Today Paris couldn't decide between rain or snow so we had both.
Thus, slush. It reminded me that I had yet to finish my doomsday prophesying.

Permanent Summer / Permanent Winter
Not just because of global warming (which has become such a fashionable cause, it's beginning to look trivial) but sun spots, axial tilts, shifts in gravitational pulls, the earth's natural glacial cycle and other eccentricities-only-nerds-would-know could give us yearlong summer or winter and eventually kill us all and there's nothing we can do. We can't blame whalers, illegal loggers, zoo-keepers... but at least it's a chic apocalypse. Our descendants could either die in minks or bikinis; if they survive the raping and the pillaging and the indiscriminate violence.
Coincidentally, today's lesson in class was about seasons and how tropical countries like mine only have two, and incidentally, how magical snow could be for those who are seeing it for the first time. I was a little embarrassed to admit I was jumping up and down this morning when I saw it was snowing :)
Anyway, in honor of the little flakes, here's "Coffee and Snow" from the hip hop duo Blue Scholars (with a little shout out to the hotter than hot Philippine streets).
We out.
