I cannot believe how much snow there is outside!

I have to go into work this evening too.

NILLY!

I'm about to do math.

I got emails yesterday saying the band I used to be in cancelled their Saturday night concert, and today saying they also cancelled their Sunday concert. Definitely check, Sheryl!

Yay Nillyness! A blind date, eh? I've never actually been on one...hope it goes well for you!

I'm about to do math.

What kinds of math?

A blind date, eh? I've never actually been on one...

I've never been on a first date that wasn't "blind".

I'm stopping the JewishMommy who is living inside me from telling people in snowed-places to make sure to bundle up, take spare socks, stuff like that. That InnerJewishMommy fights like she's learned the InnerMommy version of krav, but I try to keep her in check.

My boom story isn't very exciting - we heard a loud boom, looked out the window, and saw that someone going way too fast had rear-ended a parked car and slammed it up onto the sidewalk and into a phone pole. Totalled both cars, but no one injured. It was a woman in her mid-fifties, not the sort you'd expect to be speeding recklessly down a residential street. And that was the only car parked on that side; it was as if she'd aimed for it.

I have a small-boom story too - one day when I was a teen, my mother and I were washing dishes and ball lightning appeared in the kitchen right over our heads. It made little crackle-boom sound, dashed a few feet leaving a lightning trail, and disappeared. My mom and I just stood there with our mouths open. It wasn't even raining that day. Weirdest thing. Like a living thing that just dropped by: "Hi, y'all! Washing dishes? Boring. Bye!"

I just caught a Nancy Giles on CBS complaining that women are naked too much. Does she have a rep? Is she a prude? I mean, the answer to why is "There's a paying audience." She seemed to think it was icky, but most importantly wasn't advocating more male nudity.

Nilly! I hope it goes well.

Happy birthday, Kristin!

Good luck with the date, Nilly. I was actually just talking about you and dating the other night, in a kind of cultural comparison conversation.

Good luck getting to work, Tom and bon bon! I have to HAVE TO do a lot of work today, but I'm not going anywhere. Well, I guess I'll have to go for a walk to see the snow, but that's about it.

I can't stop playing Bejeweled--I'll be hearing "Go!" and "Level Up!" in my sleep.

Trijinx was my problem last night -- I totally woke up thinking about it. SO BAD.

Happy birthday, Kristin!

What kinds of math?

Pre-Calculus. Graphing, lines, slopes, etc.

Have fun on the date, Nilly!

Hope the date goes well, Nilly.

We've got some snow here, but not much. Maybe 6 inches or so? I'm going to go get lunch, then I'm meeting a friend to study.

Someone gets to go out on a date with Nilly? Lucky them!
