You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Love the Star Wars rocking out.

sarameg, that is most impressive, both the height of the snow and your shoveling thereof.

I use TurboTax online for free.

Oof. I went to a comic signing (Jim Rugg - Street Angel) and ate too much lamb shank. Now laundry and probable comic reading.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'd love to go drinking with Rachel, but if she drinks whiskey she'd find me a terrible lightweight.

I need to sit down and sort out taxes. Fun.

I'm really wondering if my street will be passable in the near future. Like, this week. It's really insane. Maybe we band together and hire a plow or something.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I went to Pilates this morning, then we went out to buy something to try to snake out our clogged up bathroom drain. After a couple of hours of snaking and sweating and swearing, which included removing the trap and trying to go in that way, and going outside to the clean-out and trying to go in THAT way, we gave up. We called the plumber, who will be coming Monday.

We have a friend's birthday dinner tonight and so now I have to shower and try to make myself look presentable.

My mom and all my VA/MD relatives are all enjoying the snowpocalypse. My brother's power and heat went out. By afternoon, he says the family was gathered in front of the fireplace lazily chatting. Just as my SiL was thinking, "This is really a lovely family moment" the power came back on and their two teenage kids jumped up and RAN to their respective computers like escaping prisoners.

I think I have fun out of internets.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I have snowblower envy. Actually, let me revise that: I have bobcat envy. I'd love to have one to clear the street.

Bobcats are actually tricky to drive and very prone to rollovers.

Still fun though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I used TurboTax initially and liked it, but I've since switched to H&R Block because I think it handles stock things better. TurboTax was double-taxing me for exercising my stock options or something. In any case, I always plug my info in both programs to make sure there's no difference.

I use an accountant.
