I saw Alan Cumming on the Daily Show courtesy of TiVo last night. Where exactly is he from -- that sure isn't the standard Scottish accent I'm used to, it sounded almost Norse in the vowels in places. I would happily volunteer to listen to him read the phonebook or the municiple minutes or instructions on using my toaster oven. Just lovely.
Timelies!
Today is the start of Boskone, which is one of the poles of my fannish year (the other being Readercon). Much to look forward to....
Oh.. and not only is it snowing, but the sun is shining rather brightly. I wish things would make up their mind!
Boskoneboskoneboskone. Except that I have to sit through an all-departmental meeting held by power-mad pointy-haired bosses that would make Dilbert blanch. But I will be strong.
Crap, I totally have to see Be Cool.
It turns out I have no idea how long it takes me to get ready any more, so I have all this extra time now. Weird.
I have great love for The Rock, but my hate for Travolta is so large that I fear
Be Cool
is beyond my capabilities.
I loved
Get Shorty
so I can't wait to see
Be Cool.
And The Rock is generally funny as hell - much better actor than you'd expect.

I have this problem, only the other way. I get in my car, and look at the clock and think, how the HELL did it get to be 8:45?
So on the OC
Lindsey's house is Buffy's? I didn't know that.
So I woke up to a city in utter panic. City schools closed or delayed, traffic is a mess, blahblah. Why? Less than an inch of snow. Unexpected, but my good lord.
Heh. An inch of snow is barely worth mentioning here.
I am at work. I feel better, but still achy as hell. Today is the day the furnace is being replaced, so it's freezing in my office right now. That's not helping.
An inch of snow is barely worth mentioning here.
It's really not worth mentioning here. Except people seem to be made crazy by it.
I arrive at work within minutes of 2 hours after I haul ass out of bed. Unless I rush and that only gains me a few minutes. Coffee&paper&wakeup&cats, roughly 30 minutes. Shower+hair+makeup+a dawdle or two+clothes~1 hour. Drive in~15-25 minutes. And yet it always manages to be pretty much 2 hours.
This is why I don't get up early any more. The board is dead. I'm reduced to staring at my computer dumbly.
