I'm watching the snow fall and shopping for DVDs on Amazon. Heads up for all West Wing fans--they have the individual season boxed sets for only $17.99 each right now! I'm debating if I want to get the last season (I already have S1 and 2, and am not such a big fan of the seasons in between).
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm watching the snow fall
Ooh. I just noticed that it's snowing here too.
I gotta dig out my scarves and my warmer winter hat, as it's supposed to get down to 15 tonight, with a high of 25 tomorrow.

You know, it works so much better to actually ingest it.

Won't mention that we are supposed to get some more of the white stuff tonight. It is FREAKING FREEZING out right now and tomorrow is supposed to be colder. Bless.
Cold bad, Snow pretty.

Compassionately intolerant
Registration at UOP in the last of the 70s, earliest of the 80s featured a WalMart style stampede in a room set up with card tables and petrified TAs. Once I got wise, I scoped out the profs I wanted, in the time slots I wanted and hit them up for a slot before the big day. That usually worked, but when it didn't it sucked. The whole, shuffle around campus begging thing mentioned above.
When I wen to American (early 90s), my bastard step-child program was even less efficient.
At Loyola (early zeros), it was easier and a bit less stressful because of the limited course offerings and low student ratio. But since I was driving an hour to get there, the scheduling was sometimes a bitch with the long breaks between classes and nowhere to do.
I am swooning with envy. I fell in love with her voice decades ago through my mom's ancient but beloved Belafonte at Carnegie Hall LP, and searched local used record stores for years after chasing down her own LPs. I haven't listened to any of them in years now, but just thinking about her voice gives me goosebumps.
Oh yes, and in person, in a great hall in Baltimore, her voice was awe inspiring. Truly an thing of beauty. And utterly effortless. And when she walked down a hall, she swept down the hall. People just naturally made way.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Aren't they having some sort of coup d’état in Canada right now? The border will be closed off soon anyway...
