A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Ann, that's a ferret.

tommy, yes. I'm not sure which is worst, the totally shaved head, the weird eyes, or the weird smile.

His nose doesn't look particularly insane. I'll give him that much.

Yeah, that's a character reference: "His nose looks sane."

CNN had an interview with a (male) classmate of his, who said that Jared always looked "odd". I was thinking, "Dude, you have a fuschia pageboy, you can't judge." OTOH, if the fuschia pageboy guy thought he was odd, maybe he was REALLY odd.

The halon dumped in my server room. Something (fire?) set it off. And the HALON DUMPED IN MY SERVER ROOM. MY ARCHIVE IS IN THAT SERVER ROOM.

I'm home. Nothing I can do until ITS assesses and tries to power back up. And then I find out how bad I'M FUCKED.

THUMPWHOOOOOO)SH.

Fuckfuckfuckfuck.

Also, I suggested people attempt to shovel their sidewalks, which you can do with a garden shovel - I did mine in half an hour this morning - and have been mocked on two fronts.

Since it's not going to thaw until Saturday, I was thinking about trying to shovel my driveway when it gets the exciting high of 36 today. However, I do not own snow boots, and yesterday I found that the ice crust on the top of the snow attacked my ankles. That stuff is sharp.

Note to self: Buy snow boots when they go on sale.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So sorry to hear about your mother, Jilli. She is in my thoughts.

(Had to look up what halon is)

That's crazy, Sara! er...at least it wasn't your fault and now you will miss whatever crazy rush hour we'll have if it starts snowing this afternoon.

I am irrationally annoyed by the fact that the Superbowl web page does not list the start time. They have a fucking countdown clock (I suppose I could do the math), but the fucking start time isn't listed. I know that it's an evening game, and I know that there are other places to find it, but why isn't it on the POLARBEARING HOME PAGE.

Fire supressant gas. Rumored to FUCK EVERYTHING UP. If someone had been in that room, they'd likely be dead from the impact of the release of gas.

God only knows if the servers survived. If they did not, I am going to have a very long year. I cannot emphasize how BAD this is.
