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.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

I applied to UI Champaign-Urbana. It seemed like a lovely area, and the job bennies were fab. I was sad not to get it.
