Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A tsunami has just hit FEMA Beach and has rearranged a few things. Please put the 9 objects back where they belong to see the cyber-prize!

msbelle just made me snort loud enough that a kid walking by in the hallway peered into my room suspiciously.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm on hold. Long distance. Boy, is this not amusing.

happy fun noreaster

When did you start speaking another language, msbelle. Especially crazyinsano language? Those words do not go together.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would actually like a big storm. Because (a) I live in an apartment, (b) close to the subway, and (c) I have no obligations all weekend and (d) hot cocoa in the kitchen. Word.

The 'L' trains in Chicago are not immune to snow. If if snows a lot, frozen slush builds up on the electrical thingies on the train. Once on a trip back from O'Hare the engineer had to get out of the train to kick chunks of frozen slush off the train before we could proceed.

Metra trains are better, as they are powered by diesel locomotives (at least the one I take). But even they are not immune - when it gets very cold and windy, the gas-fueled rail switch heaters blow out, resulting in switches freezing and delayed trains.

Oh crap, I didn't even think of that -- the train is elevated where I live. I don't know if that's an issue here, because I've never paid that much attention.
