Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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

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.

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

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.
