So there's still snow up there?

Not really -- we never got above freezing to melt it, but there was little enough snow to just pack straight into ice when everyone fled work early. Oy. My street is always the last to stay a skating rink after the rest of the city is completely clear and dry, though, as it's one long tree-lined north-facing slope.

Sophia, what the student pranksters did at MIT to put a "police car" on the roof of the Great Dome was to "skin" an old car and build a frame they could clamp the hood, sides, et cetera to, so that they could get it through stairs and doors and put it toge3ther very quickly under the cover of darkness.

That's a great idea, Theo! I just want to have something to share in an endless meeting which consists of the director saying "we need this" and the technical people saying "this is impossible"

OK, minor meara, JenP, SVU has gotten monumentally dumb lately. Last year, I had a minor obsession with it, despite its unworthy nature.And they waste Munch, which should Not Be Allowed. So, no, not just you. Sophia, hope you get your mojo back soon. That people-jumping-off-bridges thing? Was the sort of ethical question I didn't want to face in journalism school. I hope he wasn't just getting off on the death.

It's always possible. It just may be far to expensive.

I almost always say "Yes, we can certainly do that." Then I come up with a cost for it and make it someone else's problem to come up with the money. It makes a lot of my major pain in the ass problems go away.

I love NoiseDesign.

It's a pure and chaste love.

Honest.

Pangolin! Pangolin!

I like clementines.

So the big surprise on the way home was the main drag that hadn't been plowed. Wasn't too bad, but usually it is one of the first done, since it has MTA maintenance yards and a metro line the buses use.

Also, did a good turn for the week. A pile of credit cards was lying in the snow outside the apartment. Looking at the name, it turned out to be one of my newer neighbors. She was very relieved, and hadn't even noticed their absense. She figures she dropped them digging for her keys. I'm going to have nightmares on her behalf for weeks.

Sooooooo much easier than getting clients to understand "No."

OK, well, glad that I'm not insanely overly critical, but that sucks about the show. And, yeah, Munch deserves so much better. So much.

Yay for getting home safely, sarameg! And I polished off half a box of clementines this past weekend camping. May finish off the rest tonight. Yum.
