Apparent the regime has sent in armed "pro-Mubarak demonstrators" who are hired. Lots of violence. I was so hopeful until today.
Wow, they're hiring people? That's awful, but it makes sense, since we hadn't heard any reports of pro-regime civilians at all till this point.
I heard the NPR report from the woman (Soraya Sarhadi-Nelson?) who was in Tehrir Square, and she sounded quite upset and a bit frightened about the violence.
My sister just called me from a snowbank.
She got halfway through shoveling (due to drifts and stuff she's got several feet to get through) and got tired so she just sat down right where she stopped. She's in her boyfriend's ice fishing gear and with the height of the snow said it pretty much felt like she was in a homemade lazy-boy. Must have, cause we talked for like 15 minutes while she sat there.
Dog park was awesome. In addition to the dog people, there was a guy with a baby in a snuggy who was there because the dog park was the only place in the neighborhood that already had a well beaten path.

Yeah, this a really bad development.
I'm going out for breakfast. Do I take what's normally a 15 minute walk, or take a train one stop? Train is running.
I guess I'll see when I get outside.
I'm following LandsEnd twitter storm -- it's all giveaways and people writing about the things that have happened to them!
There were a couple of snowflakes here when I was heading to work, but mainly it's just dry and cold (low 20s, so not bitter cold like Dallas is getting).
I walked by a restaurant that had a sign: "SOUP OF THE DAY: CHILLY SOUP". That did not sound appetizing.
Ugh. Walking a total of two blocks was exhausting. And they're out of black tea and grits! Otherwise it's nice here.

Let out early! (Unofficially.) First, doctor's appt.)
I tightened up the dates for the Onerous Task Day since it seemed like we could use it more often.
Next Onerous Task Day: Thursday, 2/10/2011
