We've got accumulating snow that's been coming down for about five hours now, so it's probably about 2 inches at least. Most everyone's left already to either beat or contend with rush hour, but a few of us are sticking around to avoid it entirely. I've only got a 20-30 minute drive home, anyway.

It's pretty snowing here! And melting when it hits the ground! PERFECT.

DAMN YOU, NEW YORK!

Okay, I'm keeping my outfit on but I've started baking.

I have no snow. That would be something different.

Many held the view if someone is meant to be with you, then they should know what you want without you telling them.

Laura will be posting less frequently due to exploded head.

But so many problems in rom-coms are based in miscommunication! The lesson to me (and the reason I almost always dislike them) is PICK UP THE FUCKING PHONE, YOU MORONS.

Oh sweet zombie Jesus yes. That is one plot device that really sets my teeth on edge. And yet Remains of the Day is one of my favourite movies. Go figure.

Topic Two: How many of the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto has America fulfilled thus far on our road toward socialism?

I think they're mixing their metaphors. What use are planks on a road? A bridge, maybe. Maybe they could extend the Bridge to Nowhere, I've heard tell recently that Alaska is not so far from Russia. No more need Putin rear his head as he enters American airspace, he can drive here across the planks of the Communist Manifesto.

Note to self: get more sleep.

It's lovely to have something concrete to throw at people when they say, "Oh, just get over it."

Though such a comment kind of deserves actual concrete.

Well, the cookie dough of the cookies I'm making is DELICIOUS.

But so many problems in rom-coms are based in miscommunication!

Now that I think about it, the miscommunication comes about because people are afraid to admit that they didn't understand what their Troo Luv Poopsie Meant-to-Be Woopsie meant, because that will mean that maybe they aren't Troo Luv Poopsie Meant-to-Be Woopsies after all. Because a good TLPMtBW would surely have understood what was going on.

Gag.

Timelies all!

I knew there was a reason I'm not into Romantic Comedies. Well, there are many reasons I don't like them, but the unrealistic view of love and relationships is certainly one of them.

We've got accumulating snow that's been coming down for about five hours now, so it's probably about 2 inches at least.

Walking home from the El just now was a friggin' aerobic workout.

My miscommunications are pretty funny. But then, they are hearing my brother call a restaurant "Cajun Femur". So NSM with the important.

FTR, it is actually Cajun Steamer, but apparently I can't hear over the phone. There's another one, China Master, that I always hear as China Bastard.

...so now you know what he can't help but call them now.

I've done most of my brother's shopping now, I think. Wholly impractical, but the parents will do practical. My SIL will think I am nuts. Well, I guess she knows that already.

Oh, my, god, the woman who plays Angela Petrelli on Heroes is also playing Christopher's mother on an early episode of Gilmore Girls.

This means my dream of Angela Petrelli and Emily Gilmore running the world is totally plausible!

(I know, I know, there are like four people who will understand my dream.)
