There's a little frosty painter Who soon will come around To put a silver edging on The grasses on the ground, Upon the window pane he'll paint A fairy landscape, strange and quaint, And some cold morning you'll awake To find he's frosted Mother's cake. A certain seasonal visitor has been making the rounds this week in Berkeley -- JackFrost! I suppose it's closer to the truth to say...
… or at least his little helper. You know, the little guy who sneaks in when Mr Frost has gone for lunch, and turns knobs that are best left alone. His intentions may be excellent, but, as we all know, Satan sometimes comes as a Man of Peace. Frost, who also goes by the name of [...]
Last week, I got sent about half-a-dozen Christmas singles by mid-ranking indie bands who all said something along the lines of, "yes, we have recorded a Christmas song but the surprising and totally original twist is that the lyrics are really dark and talk about families fighting / being alone during the holiday / holocaust and suicide" (these are all genuine, by the way). There really...
One of the reasons Della and I love the southwest Washington Coast so is the temperate climate. For the most part, it doesn't get too hot nor too cold and it rarely snows. Of course, just because the temperatures here tend to stay in the moderate range, this does not mean that we do not experience extremes from time to time. Last month we received nearly twice as much rain as normal -- a really yang...

The movie apparently is about a whole bunch of fictional characters – Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, etc. –...
The calendar may not recognize these days as winter, but one glance and “wintry” is fit. Icy spicules, intricate lines and angles along each uniquely frosted leaf edge, thin covers of the purest white. The plants in this season are brown with occasional bits of red or orange, but the cold white, the frosted white, the powdery [...]

... Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny who protect children from the forces of evil. DiCaprio will voice JackFrost (as seen above) who truly looks like him if he were thrown into an animated winter Tim Burton-esque universe. Read on for the plot. The film, which isn't due out until 2012, is based on a series of highly anticipated yet-to-be published books written by William Joyce. Here's...
The first day of advent and JackFrost has definately been! My daughter Maggie (5) had lots of questions about how he managed to sprinkle frost on the ground, and how no-one saw him! Things are definately feeling much more festive, though I think sublety at Christmas is definately best. We have our guided Winters Tale [...]
