Phoebie‘s right: the good stuff doesn’t hurt as much the next day.
But still…
Posting will be light today. Enjoy the raincoaster randomizer in the top right-hand corner of the blog if you get bored.

Canuckistani: the Canada Day podcast!
To go with our delightful visual celebration of Canada Day, we present a musical accompaniment, 100% Canadian Content, eh! Stan Rogers singing The Northwest Passage, Bruce Cockburn‘s great lefty protest song If I Had a Rocket Launcher, and Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie performing The War of 1812 (oh, so popular with the Yanks!)
If you want fireworks too, remember: we’re Canada. We’re too poor to have fireworks! Just close your eyes and squash them with the heel of your hand just like Stephen Harper would want you to. Whoa! Special Effects!

it’s snowing in Vancouver RIGHT NOW
That is all.
June 24, 2007.
Jayzuz.
UPDATE: okay, a few details…
We’ve had a thunderstorm this afternoon, which we get maybe once every two-three years. And it’s raining now, just tiny drops, but two minutes ago it was FLAKES, for maybe a couple of minutes (that I noticed, I mean, Lotusland cliches aside, I don’t spend ALL my time looking out the window. I spend most of it looking at Fark). Wait, it’s snow again, or slush. This is bizarre. And the sun is shining.
Hail Cthulhu, smoke ’em if you got ’em! The end times are upon us and all of the Lower Mainland is consumed by the question “will there be enough for Cypress to open?”
