fight to the death

March is a battle between winter and spring. Spring creeps up and slides a sweet day into the mix early on, giving her supporters hope; winter responds by pummeling us with wind and cold. Spring parries with a couple of warm days and early blooms; winter throws a hard punch complete with snow and sleet.
Today, spring seems to be winning. Tomorrow, who knows?

Also, why do they make nail polish with brushes that don't reach the bottom of the bottle?

  2. now that you bring it up, that has always irritated me too. seems like it wouldn't be *that* hard to make the bottle shorter or the brush longer...

  4. The March thing: my teacher taught the word to express the cold and warm snaps and I forgot it: sankayonsummit?

    Also, the nail polish bottle thing; pffft.
