Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm supposed to go to a show tonight, but it's 30 below or thereabouts, and I just don't want to leave the apartment. I love the band, and it's a benefit for a children's hospital, and yet. Too. Frigging. Cold.
WAY Too frigging cold, if you ask me.
Does the money go to the children's hospital anyway? You're clear, if so....
FTR, Cindy McCain's Oatmeal Butterscotch cookies? They kinda blow.

I feel like I should be using the afternoon more productively. I know I need to do a bit more shopping, but I was going to wait for tomorrow AM in the fantasy that it'll be less stressful then. And I need to go to Costco, but that would be insane to do on a Sunday, right?
I would guess more insane on a Sunday afternoon before a major holiday than a Monday morning, yeah.
My fear is that I can't take care of two different sets of errands all during the morning tomorrow. But I guess I'll try.
Maybe I should do laundry? I gotta do something useful, right?
