Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm glad I took some pictures outside this morning while it was all Winter Wonderland. By afternoon, all the snow had fallen off the trees and it looks like, just, a lot of snow. Not quite as magical. I should have snapped some shots this morning when the sky was pink, but it was too cold to go out, even for a beautiful photo.

There's another storm in the offing. Tuesday, 5-12". sobbing

I apparently started a mass movement on the list-serv. We're trying to find someone with a plow, and folks are willing to chip in to pay for it. Wheee! I was out all day, so missed it blowing up.

Also, I'm thinking I need to shovel off my roof. But I don't have a ladder to get up there!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If it's a man, can you call him Mr. Plow?

I let Loki back out on the deck. He's apparently willing to pitch in: he immediately started digging. Not sure where he was trying to get, but he was really into it, though he couldn't decide where to start. I know the feeling... [link] [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Got laundry started. Am short quarters. And pronouns.

Pulled a seven-letter word out of my hat second turn in new scrabble game against sister. Not as far ahead as you'd think, considering I hit two double word scores. I hate her. I need to regain some confidence so I don't feel compelled to whine about it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

That was a weird run of commercials featuring white guys in their underwear.

Because books.

I'm sensing a disturbing "pantsless" theme in the commercials.

Our wings are not tired.

Y'all, I had to watch both of them in High Def! MY RETINAS!

Our wings are not tired.

The Doritos dog collar one is my fav so far. Not talking about the game though.

eta: yes the underwear in riduc large HD was a bit much

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Huh. So it turns out the Superbowl is on the one network I can't get in our new digital world. I'm not invested in either team, but I was going to watch.

I just got home from a run-thru of the play I'll be spending the next two weeks with. It felt like a Pinter treatment of a Sam Shepard play.
