And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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.

Apparent the regime has sent in armed "pro-Mubarak demonstrators" who are hired. Lots of violence. I was so hopeful until today.

Yeah, this a really bad development.

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

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.

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.

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
