Ooh, snow!
Natter 62: The 62nd Natter
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.
They are predicting 2" of slush for us today. Yeech.
Much colder than yesterday.
Last day of work this week.
I think mac was the only kid at his care, poor noodle.
My adult brain is pretty sure this is the worst idea in the history of EVAR, but my inner 10 ear-old fangirl won't stop squeeing:
‘Phantom of the Opera’ sequel "Love Never Dies" due in 2009:
The follow-up to “Phantom,” which debuted in 1986 with Michael Crawford in the lead role, will take place a decade after the original, with the story set on Brooklyn’s Coney Island.
“It was the place,” Lloyd Webber said. “Even Freud went because it was so extraordinary … people who were freaks and oddities were drawn towards it because it was a place where they could be themselves.”
PHANTOM. On CONEY FREAKING ISLAND! O.M.G. It's going to suuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Why does this give me a dread feeling that he's going to put Sarah Brightman back into the Christine role, even though she's waaaaaaaaay past her "sell by" date?
Happy New Year, Antipodestas!
I come with a question for the Hive Mind. Does anyone know of a good resource on Seth Thomas clocks? Ideally 8-day clocks from 1879-1881. I just got a clock that's been in the family for a while, and now I'm kind of curious about its provenance. I've found the official Seth Thomas Clock site and a few sites with a general overview of the company's history, but I'm kind of hoping for a site or forum for antique clock obsessives, the sort who would spend 40 posts debating the font used in the Roman numerals on the clock face.

Nah - she dumped him during the original run. No love lost there.

Yeah, but they're still "friends." She at least sang at his fiftieth birthday celebration.
Did you read today's xkcd, billytea?
Hee. I have now. That's quite wonderful.
psst. I heard that 2009 sucks, and everyone who lives there smells funny.
