Shoveled. Need a nap now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
You're welcome, Jesse!
Thundersnow does sound kind of awesome, in the I am struck with awe and mildly terrified kind of way.
I do a similar salad with quinoa, black beans, peppers, cilantro, feta, and avocado...
Yum to that too, although the older I get the less my system tolerates peppers, the bummer, because they do add a certain crisp tang to a chopped salad.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Our predicted snowpocalypse was instead a nopocalypse.
Here in NYC, we’ve already shot past the low-end of the predicted amounts, and we’ve still got a long ways to go.

Sending keep-the-heat-on vibes to all you snow bound folks!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks, Burrell! My greatest concern right now is that the power stays on.

not your mom's socks.
We are upgraded (dowgraded?) to 30". I checked on my parents this morning - they've been on the generator since 3am. (thank goodness they are in a location where they no longer have to plow. I am so grateful.)

I'm applying for a job in Urbana-Champaign. It's basically the perfect job description for me, and a former colleague who works there now says overall it's a good place to work (although the governor is currently screwing with the entire university system.) But the thought of upheaving my whole family AGAIN is practically killing me, and if I can't put that aside I can't possibly get the job, because they'll know I'm half-hearting it.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
I went to law school in Urbana-Champaign and I thought it was a great place to live - the advantages of a smallish city plus the advantages of a major university. If I hadn't set on getting out of the Midwest and all its snow, I would have happily settled down there.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
flea, I may know someone who works there, if you want me to check.

I napped. I think it's snowing harder.
