My coworker is going to Boston in a couple of weeks. We've been looking at him sadly and shaking our heads since we found out. We've also been calling dibs on his stuff.

It's just a cold snap--we're supposed to get up to 23 degrees by next Friday. No big deal!

I expect my sister who is currently residing in Las Vegas to call and mock me over the weekend at some point.

I just remembered--I have to take the cat to the vet's on Monday, and it's going to be damn cold for her even in the few minutes from apartment to car! I'll have to remember to bring a towel to wrap over the carrier to protect her a bit.

Dude, I think Boston weather is better than Dallas weather these days. Probably a bit colder but we've had quite a relatively warm streak (which has come to an end but can bounce back to) and practically no snow whatsoever. like less than 2 inches totall all winter.

cereal to add: It's a crazy world when you see that Atlanta temps are lower than Boston's. Which I see on The Weather Channel occasionally!

Well, at least the SoCal people will cry for me.

I will too!

at least on the inside.

You're probably right. We're going to be at about 28 tonight. However while he's up there with y'all, we'll be in the low to mid 60's (which is right about my chilly/too cold to be outside point).

Damn y'all... Just like Dag, that's cold. We were tripping a few weeks back cause it was 37.

Stupid Comics

Just what the link says.

As a special Christmas treat for you, Mister Kitty takes a look at annuals from a vanished industry that many people outside England never knew existed - British girls comics. For almost fifty years publishers like IPC and DC Thompson were cranking out weekly titles with names like Tammy, Judy, Mandy, and of course Bunty, the first British girl's comic. As literature for young ladies, these comics naturally featured lots of stories about plucky ballerinas, airline stewardesses, and horses. But just like their more masculine counterparts Starlord and 2000 AD, British girls comics seem to have a flair for the goofy, the bizarre, the surreal. Just check out the hook in our first example.

The example is the comic, "My Brother's a Chimp!" The other examples are equally stupid, if not more....

You know, I am reconsidering coming to Chicago. Ever again.

It'll be warmer in two weeks! I hope!
