Okay, the NIU weather guy says that December is going to be essentially like it has been yesterday and today but January and February are going to be warmer than usual.
Seriously?!? Because it is ONE degree today people, ONE. Not on, December.

Hey, does anyone know how Lands End's men's clothing runs size wise, especially in T-shirts?

Bonnie Hunt is Doug Ellin's(Entourage) college friend? Well, they go back a ways and she got him his first TV-writing credit. I just thought that was interesting.

REI's sizing is pretty standard, but it's also the sizing I have most internalized so it's what I judge other sizes by, so perhaps my judgment is not accurate. But it seems to correlate with JCPenney and so forth.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I am so effing cold. My room is freezing! Well, not really, but it is 65 in here which is warmer than 1, but still cold for inside.
Last night, I decided to stop and get gas so I'd have a full tank for the 1 degree day today. At 8:15 last night, it was 15 degrees but the wind was whipping around and it was so so very cold. And my gas cover was frozen shut, so there I am at the gas station in -400 degree wind chill chiseling the ice off my gass cover with a screwdriver. Funsies, I tell ya.

My nerd neighbors are Firefly fans. One just sang the chorus from "The Man They Call Jayne" and said, "I need to find someone who can do that on the guitar." Neighbor: "I'll so do that!" And then they laughed in shared geek joy.

The CTA was such a mess this morning. Some of the tracks and switches in the Loop were frozen. I had to take three separate trains - and I only go four stops.
But thank dog for the CTA bus tracker. My preciousss. We loves the precious.

I've read about 47 books this year, currently on 48. Most of those books were pretty hefty. I tried to make an effort to read more books and less internet. In the end, I think I just got less sleep.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. (I almost said "totes" here.) I've been checking that before I leave for work in the morning, to make sure I won't have to be standing around in the cold waiting for a late bus.
Plus if I'm already at the stop I can use my cellphone to see how long before the bus arrives, so I can decide whether to keep on waiting or find some other method of getting where I'm going.
