This talk of China Beach has renewed my irritation at nothing past season 3 of Mad About You.

I still don't get it.

While what Vortex says about it being beautiful out there is true, it is also 29 degrees by my thermometer.

DH is taking a turn shoveling. He walked the dog this morning with a sled strapped to his back. I am trying to decide between what chore to tackle, and trying to remember his password for the airline to see if/how he's been rebooked.

I am about to vibrate out of my skin. It is Super Bowl Sunday and the Saints are still playing football. Mr. Jane is being absolutely no help by playing Saints/New Orleans videos all morning including the U2/Green Day reopening of The Dome which had me in tears when I saw it live and now has me weeping like an infant. I don't know how I ame going to make it to 5:30.

I'm staying in today. Walking in the snow yesterday was fun, but too much for my ankles. Plus, there's really nowhere to go outside now -- I think CVS is open if I really need something, but other than that, I have no reason to go out. I've got lasagna that I made yesterday, and I might make some lentil soup today.

I woke up to snow this morning. The forecast had said just a 30% chance so I hadn't taken it seriously. Only looks like a couple of inches so far.

Meara is trying to get me to come to our friend's house for the Superbowl. I really want to go, don't even mind walking over there, but walking back to the house at 11PM will not be pleasant. It's only a mile and change, but at 20 degrees? And probably a little tipsy? OTOH, tipsy will give the illusion of warmth :)

Aims, I'm pretty sure you can find the other seasons of Mad About You online. There's a huge grey market for any show that hasn't been put out on DVD.

Except Molly Dodd and Frank's Place, I guess.

Of course, I haven't really looked for them. Hmmm.

All right thinking people should be rooting for the Saints today, but I will toss out this:

Counterprogramming Note

TCM is showing Rebecca and Wuthering Heights back to back today. Starts 10:45 PST.

This info has long been available on Twitter, but SFGate now corrals a bunch of gourmet foodcart listings together.

Check out the menu at Little Skillet.

Heh. Yes, I am, because I really want to see Steph!

We'll have wings!! And ...other stuff! (Faf and i are about to go dig out her car to go get the wings. And stop somewhere else and see what we can find on the storm-ravaged shelves of a supermarket. Mostly for soda, I think)

They have an aerobed (I've been sleeping on the couch).

I think our football counterprogramming (Casper is loudly declaiming her unwillingness to watch) will be the movie Babe. It's like the puppy bowl, but with a pig and singing mice!

Vortex, if you do walk home tipsy at 11pm, please arrange a call with someone to make sure you get there safely. People die drunk in snowbanks sometimes.
