Yikes, Hil. Take all the drugs!

Now all I can remember is "fitte-kittie" and "hellavurtur". I have no idea how they're spelled or what they mean, but apparently they're very bad.

'Fitte' is probably cunt. I'm not familiar with Norwegian swearing, but in Swedish 'fite' (no clue how to spell these) is cunt, and it's 'vitu' in Finnish (same root apparently even though Swedish and Finnish are generally super different). The 'kittie' bit I don't know. In Swedish it's usually fure-fite, which means 'sheep's cunt', or maybe 'hest-fite' which is horse's cunt. In Finnish it's normally 'vitu perkele' which I think either means devil's cunt or cunting devil. I use 'vitu perkele' a lot.

If I want to say 'Jesus Christ' but am worried about offending people I just say it in Irish, which is Iosa Criosd (pronounced sort of ee-uh-suh cree-uhsed), it hits all the right sweary syllables but isn’t recognisable.

That's a lot of swearing for very early in the morning, but there you go. Merry fucking Christmas and all that.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Blargh. Fourth night in a row of crap sleep. Work will be fun today.

I am waving wearily at my fellow insomniacs.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Waves back.

I fell asleep, then woke up when my sister got here, and that might be all for the night.

Ooh. Insomnia plus icy roads. I'm thinking telecommuting and/or calling in sick today may be a good idea.

I was rather blase about our wintry mix until I was driving back from an errand at about 7 last night and slid the last half mile. This morning, I find there were 900+ metro accidents and people were stuck in traffic for hours.

Huh, we were dry here last night - and now it's warmer. Durham has got sleet, though.

We didn't get a lot of wet stuff, fortunately, since it was essentially an ice storm. A mix of rain and sleet turned into a thin glaze of ice on the roads, leading to the bumper-car effect.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That we do. And snow and freezing rain too. Somehow, "I'm dreaming of a wintry mix Thursday" doesn't have quite the same ring to it..

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No precipitation in Boston! And nothing more than flurries in the forecast.
