We're having perfect winter weather here -- it's snowing pretty, but 34 degrees, so not really sticking.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We always said next year's cake, though I think that was more for calorie reasons than time period reasons.
That is much more sensible. I did not have sensible workplaces, I think. Getting used to just always having cake available for a couple of months is probably not wise.
Mmm, tamales.

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

And here it's in the high 70s. For differing values of "perfect" and "winter."

The thing with the closure on 39th is that it's the section that hasn't been oozing water for the past year. And to fuck things up worse, I've read parts of York north of 39th got shut down due to a watermain. So you could basically go south on Greenmount to get anywhere west of here. Clusterfuck.
I'd sent a note to the commuter column, just to put it out there (39th closed, beware) and uh, reporter wants me to call. Um.

Punishingly Intricate
Last time I had a galette des Rois was when I drove from the Eastern Shore to the French bakery in Fells Point to get one for an Epiphany/Taking-down-the-tree game night.
Oh man I REALLY miss that place!
As for perfect winter weather, I don't think I'll look at snow the same way again after last week. For real. I've been psychologically traumatized (esp coming as it did in conjunction with them finding Bob's tumor).

Yeah, I believe that. Sorry, you guys!

Heh.

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

Growing up in Wisconsin during a decade of heavy snow, I think it'd take five feet of snow to make me look at snow differently....

I will say, I think Boston is still traumatized by the Blizzard of 78, and it's been 30 years! Like, I'm pretty sure that's why they closed schools here last week when we didn't end up getting any snow. And that was "only" 27 inches, but no one was prepared, was the problem. [link]

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Amy, I'm quite happy with my Asus netbook. I dragged it around Greece last fall with no problem, and now it's going to my Wednesday ground school class for note taking. I wouldn't want to do intensive Photoshop work on it, but for my light-use purposes (notes and web, mostly) it's fine.

Because books.
After living up here in the Land of Lake Effect Snow, I'm so immune to snow by now, it's weird. I actually feel weirdly guilty that the Mid-Atlantic is getting hit so hard and we've gotten very little in the last month, simply because it's all budgeted for up here, so it's always plowed and salted right away. People know how to live with snow up here.
