What's Bourdain? I'm such a hillbilly.

Anthony Bourdain, chef. He wrote Kitchen Confidential and has a show on the Travel Channel where he goes around the world checking out cuisine -- I can't remember the name of it.

He's awesome -- a total foodie with a mouth like a longshoreman and a real rocker sensibility about life.

Also, he can write well, too.

Me, in culinary matters, I made some pancakes after getting back from the grocery store, and have just put my duvet into the washer, since that's a major project....

Hee. I thought a Bourdain was some fancy French pastry or something.

And he's the guy doing the critiques of Food Network people in the link above.

AmyLiz! How much snow did you get? I keep seeing pictures of huge snowbanks and have been thinking about you and yours.

I just read this morning that Fulton has had 123 inches this season, with 50 inches since Jan. 29. Yikes. I seriously underestimated.

But that's nothing, really -- north of us in Oswego County they've had something like nine feet. ::faints::

Wow, February is shaping up to be a good month for me. I just got off the phone with my brother and he's engaged! My sister and I met her at Thanksgiving and just loved her. I am so happy for him!

Nine feet - Whoa! We had that kind of snow when I was growing up in Utica, but they haven't seen that much in decades.

Yay for the new SIL megan!

Nice going, megan.

I am so horribly sleepy. Which makes no sense. I curled up in bed at 8:30 to watch Blade Trinity and didn't make it all the way through.

I've been up a few times so far, including to make and eat breakfast, but just had to crawl right back into bed.

WTF?! I just tried to log in to one of my Yahoo emails, and I got a message saying my account had been deactivated because I hadn't logged in for four months. This is not true! I logged in to that account last week! Again I say, WTF? They better give me my damn emails back.

Also, nine feet of snow is heinous. As was Blade:Trinity.
