I heard down in DC (when my station went out, I switched to the DC affiliate) gusts were 60 mph. I believe it.
In a funny coincidence relating to the direction discussion, my mom was on the phone, telling me about a restaurant we should go to. I was trying to place it and asked her where it was relative to the church in the plaza. "It's on the east side."
Sigh.
"OK, facing the church, right or left?"
And I spent 18 years there, and usually did ok on e/w if I thought about it hard because of the dramatic mountains which designated east.
Tom, that's hilarious! Why have we never known that before?
I am now full of "Mexican" food. And still have more left.
Shame on him trying to pass as Hec.
Poor Allyson. The very first time I ever used a GPS system was when I went to LA for the F2F. It came with the rental. It was so beyond awesome. We would just take off from the hotel and drive aimlessly then click take me back and voilà nice lady guided me home. And the bestest part, when the hotel appeared she said, "you have arrived."
eta: and this brought back all the lovely LAF2F memories.
Brendon bought one for me the next Christmas because it was such fun. I'm not directionally challenged here so much because totally flat and grid like, but I still use it even locally when I go someplace different. It always gets packed when I travel.
ION, we have a cold front! I have opened the windows again. I may go for a walk tonight. Whee!
Laura, when we have a cold front, I close my windows!
Heh. With my windows CLOSED, the last gust of wind created a noticeable draft inside. Leaky apartment. Thought even knowing it does, that I felt a draft was weird. I guess it is coming in through my beleaguered sliding door (seriously, you can pull it off the tracks) and uninsulated utility closet.
Hec, here's the hair pics as promised.
Nicely done, O Tig. Very shiny too.
I should get my hair cut like Matt Groening and start cashing his checks.
I think somehow Matt Groening is Hec and a bit of Noise...
Just watched "How William Shatner Changed The World" which answered a question I was asking earlier today--what were the philosophical shifts that came with each new Trek series. I didn't expect the show to answer it--I didn't even know TiVo was recording it. But they talked about how the Pollyannaishness (which, really, I still disagree with about TOS) disappeared as soon as Rodenberry died, but the ratings also never came back.
The show was basically about how science had been inspired by various Trek things, and apparently we must credit it for cell phones and Quicktime, amongst other innovations.
Snarkishly funny they said just about nothing about Enterprise the series, just "and then things went from bad to worse" and played the needle scratching noise over its theme music.
Meow.
I think I've just about totally wasted today. I realised there's food in my freezer I need to reheat and eat so my sister can bring me more. Man, responsibility's a bitch.
Just watched almost all of
The Incredibles
despite it being cut to shreds by ABC Family and numerous watchings before this, including the commentary on the DVD THAT I OWN. Still a very fun film.
And of course, I didn't notice until now that Syndrome is voiced by Jason Lee of
My Name is Earl
-- what a different role! And Mr. Incredible is voiced by Craig T. Nelson who is presently doing a half-season as the warden on MNiE.
When it is 20° outside and one has spent the better part of the day in a ridiculously cold room, hot & sour egg flower soup is made of YUM!
