Snow in Tucson!!!

I was in the midst of writing another blog entry when I heard Shauna shrieking outside my window this evening. Suddenly, she and Rouzbeh (her boyfriend) were knocking on my door and yelling for me to come outside.

To our shock and amazement, this was the view of our apartment's courtyard:

Yes, that white stuff is snow.

Although on grass it might have only looked like a dusting...

... on pebbles, it looks like some real accumulation!

My favorite dichotomy of the night...

... a snowy palm tree.

Here's an up close view...

... baby icicles on the leaves!

And here's my snow covered car...

... a sight I was happy to leave in my East Coast memories.

Here's Rouzbeh threatening me...

... and he got me, although unintentionally after it broke open on the ground near me.

Therefore, I pelted him with a small snowball. He and Shauna were en route to a dinner party so I didn't want to get too vicious.

All in all it's been a great weekend! Out for drinks with my amigos on Friday, hip-hop dance class with Anna on Saturday morning (in which I re-convinced myself that I am a metallic robot encased in human skin similar to Vicky on "Small Wonder" and with the rhythm & soul of the whitest person in America), did millions of loads of laundry, saw the movie "Children of Men" with A. & I. on Saturday night (great film, BTW... I thought I'd hate it, but it really was very good), and went to yoga then worked on tons of homework and job applications today.

Oh, and I must say that my new neighbor (Sid & Nancy's lovely replacement) is a dream-come-true. She came outside to enjoy the snow this evening and take photos, and she's 100% normal and quiet and nice. No more tattooed, smoking, Caddy-driving boyfriends loitering in the passageways, and no more nightly porn scenes! Yes!!!
