Balmy Weather and Beef Patties

I am so done with cold. This is why:

Advantages of cold: winter weather is beautiful, snow angels, no mosquitoes, no rain, no profuse sweating, snowboarding (although the cost of snowboarding is arguably not even worth the enjoyment that I get out of it).
Disadvantages of cold: Having to wear preposterous amounts of clothing, it makes my skin dry, diseases run rampant in cold weather, traveling anywhere becomes an arduous and unpleasant task (esp. considering that I can't ride my bike during the winter and i have no car), insufficient D vitamins (because of the short days, and my unwillingness to go outside in the cold... my essentially nocturnal sleeping schedule doesn't help), no golden tan, lack of greenery, no outdoor swimming, no grass frolicking, no fresh fruits and veggies, no summer jams, massive heating bills, ugg boots, runny noses, all the ladies are too covered up for me to appreciate their nice figures!

As you can see, warm weather clearly wins.

What makes me think of all this stuff is that one, I keep thinking about Danielle and how she's in her warm paradise wonderland; and two, we had the biggest weather cock-tease ever in Burlington the other day. It was 50 degrees the entire day. Of course after two days the temperature went right back to 15 degrees. But that one 50 degree day, rainy as it was, made me jones for warm whether like nobody's business. This is why recently I have incessantly been daydreaming about summer. I'm even making plans for what I will do during the summer. My plans so far include going back to work painting for PPM, actually following through on the plan to visit Longwood Gardens with a fat sack of grass and my best friends, taking a road-trip to Canada, and making and devouring at least half of the burgers on this list:

To do the whole list just seems a like a little too much of a task. I was thinking a weekly burger-making-day thing?

This is the first one I want to try:


It's called the lumberjack. I am terrified of how huge this burger is but want so badly to tackle it.

Not only does this website have the worlds most mouth watering collection of delicious cheeseburger recipes ever, but it also features the voice of Patrick Warburton. This guy:


Between his burger announcer role on this website, his role as Brock Sampson in the Venture Bros., and his role as Kronk in the Emperor's New Groove, he is most definitely my favorite voice in the world, just beating out Morgan Freeman and Bernie Mac. I don't know what it is about his voice, but it makes me laugh like I used to when my brother sat on my legs and tickled my feet.

For good measure, here's another little sketch I did the other day:
