Snow doesn't fall, it floats.
Right now it looks like a snowglobe out there, or perhaps a ticker tape parade where people are throwing down fragments of tissue paper instead. It's all very novel, since the only snow I've seen falling has been in the ski resorts of Australia, where it's more a mixture of sleet and snow, and rather icky to be out in.
If this keeps up, I'll wander up to High Park this afternoon with my camera.

Also, a technical-ish question. I've noticed people using YouSendIt to post links to music downloads in their LJs, and I'm wanting to know how you do that since a) I now have access to broadband and b) I'm not hugely wealthy this Christmas and music is the Christmas gift to all that doesn't cost me. ;) I could just email folks directly with songs, but I was wanting to do "Rossi's 12 songs of the year" or something themic like that.
Help?

Then little fairies will warp into your hard drive and start picking up the music note by note. They have green fairies for the upper registers and blue ones for the lower registers. A huge troll carries all the drum beats and unicorns pull wagon loads of guitar riffs.
All this happens very quickly, so you're not going to be able to see them at work. I wouldn't suggest trying to look inside for the unicorns and trolls, though. They get rather testy when you interrupt their work.
Then an email fairy goes to your Inbox and tells it that the file's ready to be downloaded and urges you to send the link to your friends.
