Changing of Seasons

I love fall because of the colors and the cooler weather. The trees begin sporting all sorts of yellow, orange and red leaves, placing themselves against the deep green of the other leaves and a pinkish-blue sky that happens at sunrise and sunset. Then the air begins to dry out and have that crisp clean smell. The temperature is similar to spring, giving me the opportunity to wear my tanks or a sweater. And even though the days are starting to shorten, the sun doesn't set too early. Fall (and Spring) make me happy. Maybe it's because the season is all about moderation, a concept I've been slowly learning over the years.

Unfortunately, I don't look forward to the end of fall when the leaves WON'T STOP FALLING!! Not that it isn't pretty to watch, in a dark way. It's all because of my OCD. Just when I feel good having cleaned-up 1/4 of the yard, more leaves magically make their way onto the exposed grass, which in turn makes me compelled to rake that area again. and again. and again. Until the only area i've actually touched in the past 4 hours is that one corner of the backyard where the leaves won't stop falling.

Hopefully I have a few weeks before that fun starts. In the meantime, I'm going enjoy nature as it prepares for winter.

I'm on a roll.

Found another fun site for all SG-1 fans. *raises hand furiously* That's right. Gilmore Girls being my second guilty pleasure (except I'm still extremely miffed at how last season ended. Lorelei, how could you be so STOOPID), SG-1 is most definitely my first,

I came across a SG-1 Cartoons site. Created by Leah Rosenthal, some of the drawings are amusing ... and some are a bit disturbingly amusing.

Many flavors of Mr. Man

Pac Man that is.

Via Digg, a German site has been located that lists 177 Versions of Pac Man. I'm a bit partial to the Hoover version where you're a hoover whose mission is to suck up all of the dirt particles and two menacing dust bunnies make your job a bit trying. Also check out the Welcome to Amsterdam version. Their instructions note:

  • ...[Y]ou are only here for the drugs and prostitutes.
  • You avoid the police
  • And you have never heard of trams or trains before
As for your "extra power", well I'm sure you can guess it's a dutch treat.

Enjoy!
