I wish I couldn't be bothered. Wouldn't it be nice to say "Right, don't feel like getting a haircut" instead of "Gosh, I should get a haircut, but I don't have time right now, but Gosh, I should."

I should be less wishy-washy.

I woke up in the middle of the night with chills and a fever. I'm worried that my toe is infected, so I'm going to the doctor.

Poor Tomtoe. I had a badly infected toe a while back. They suck. I hope you feel better.

You know, the only thing I've accomplished at work today thus far is a few notebook pages of scribbled Sawyer/Sayid porn.

Best news I've heard today.

It's so nice that you're getting things done.

If I waited that long to cut my hair? Cousin Itt. So glad I have somebody, you know, in-house. I'm debating coloring. Golden blonde, reddish blonde, none, or other? This seems shallow with all The Horrible, but I don't even have words for that, I'm sad to say.

showed Boston's Mayor sending trucks out to South Boston, to remove the barrels, cones, chairs, and other parking spot place-savers people put out on the streets.

Sheesh, your mayor is all proactive. Every snow here, the lawnchairs, dinette chairs, really ugly upholstered chairs and various other unidentified items are broken out and every single night they've got some police spokesperson on the local news telling people not to do that blahblahblah, but they don't do anything beyond that.

Management at my complex will confiscate stuff you put out though. And they don't exactly plow promptly unless unless it is so bad that the local Army Reserves are driving through in humvees and getting stuck. A bunch of lazy assholes live in my complex. So my spot(s) always get stolen after I shovel them out.

It makes me very bitter. I entertain myself as I shovel by contemplating ways I could sabotage my spot.

Around here (NC) they don't plow much beyond the main thoroughfares. (Although my landlord got the parking lot driveable before the road next to it was clear last winter.) Cars are parked where ever people skid off the road or decide they can't drive further, be it mid-interstate or someone's yard.

It's a good thing we don't get a big snow more than once every couple of years.

Wow, people putting stuff in the road to hold a parking spot while they were out would drive me batshit.

But I shovelled out the!*&$*@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spot! It took two hours! It is right in front of my house/apartment! Go shovel your own !*&$*@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spot.

See? Bitter.

according to the paper, there was a twister in LA last night [link] sounds like end times to me

Pish. Actually, the Los Angeles area gets tornadoes pretty regularly. Sort of. Maybe one or two a year. Usually just waterspouts instead of actual tornadoes. And always F-zeros. Barely enough to uproot a tree. Cyclical winds of about 60-80 mph.

If we ever get anything higher than an F-1, *then* the End Times are upon us.

This. If you have to shovel out the spot everytime you leave AND return, you know damn well there's some schmuck out there who hasn't shoveled shit. And they MUST PAY.

I think the only time my father has come close to a fistfight in the last 30 years was over a parking space.
