Phoenix ate my post. Grr.
C-c-c-cold here today, even for us. (-35C is getting down where C and F meet, and I suppose M) BigBoss wants to go for coffee, so I'll just post this bit from Neil Gaiman's blog about TiVo and catch up shortly:
many years later, I have a DVR TIVO thing. It's wonderful. It automatically records things that I think I might one day want to watch, while also, just to be helpful, recording things it thinks I might want to watch but I don't. And then – and this is the good bit – I don't watch any of them. But I no longer have the vague feeling that I'm missing out on things. Tivo: it's watching TV so I don't have to...
For me though, near the ocean, it's just bone penetrating, even if the wind chill factor is the same.
This this this.
Although I will say that often times, living in a coastal town, the temprature can be 5 to even 10 degrees WARMER than inland, since the Ocean keeps the temprature up sometimes. If the cold is coming OFF the Ocean, however, it's a moot point.
eta, it's amazing once you start hitting the extremes (hot or cold) what a difference 5 to 10 degrees can make.
The thing is, though, even when it is 10-15 degrees warmer, the wind makes it feel the same temp.
Wouldn't give up my ocean, though.
I went outside. Brrr. But not unbearably so. The worst feeling cold waits until its dark.
Also, I just chopped a credit card right in half.
Pats self on back.

This.
I won't say what the temperature is here. I'll just mention that I don't need a coat.
Which is good, because all my clothes, including my coats, are now too tight. Good thing I didn't clear out my closet when I lost weight.

I wish I had one. Lake Michigan just doesn't cut it.
Polter, am quite excited by the casting spoiler in re VM. That should be fun...I'm barely even trying to keep up with natter anymore, but I did get that far.
I have on a light weight sweater, but I think I may take it off until I get to work, where they are over airconditioning us.
