A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Onerous task done! I swept a foot of snow off my car, while it was heating up, and Dan was shoveling the sidewalk, and two teenage boys with shovels are walking down the street!

We are getting Dan's car dug out (it was on the street -- he couldn't make it in the driveway, and it was plowed in pretty well) and I swept his car off, and then went into make hot cocoa and get cookies for the boys.

$30 to shovel the drive and dig D's car out? A BARGAIN. And I scored their numbers for shoveling and lawn mowing.

ONEROUS TASK WIN.

Because books.

Oy, Suzi. I'm sorry. That bites.

Kids had no school here, which didn't really seem necessary to me. It's just raining now.

Amy, looks like "I" bought an iPod dock and a phone. Of course they had already been shipped them when I contacted the company. Not sure if they will be able to recoup the money. But they are refunding mine.

Well, they should be able to track the shipping addy and see who got it. Maybe they'll get 'em that way. Fuckers.

UGH. Nothing worse, man. Stupid thieves.

My onerous task so far seems to be getting my ass in any kind of gear. Even a low one.

This picture (from the Trib) is better: Abandoned vehicles litter northbound Lake Shore Drive on Tuesday morning.

Looks like a scene from The Walking Dead or something.

Seriously, I can't imagine having gone anywhere near Lake Shore yesterday afternoon or evening with everything they were saying was about to hit.

Did you see there was a guy out watching the waves at Diversey Harbor who apparently got swept in by them? Ugh. Though that sounds like the only fatality being reported so far.

I hope my last thought when I die isn't, "Jesus, that was stupid. Why did I do that?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wonder what effect that will have.

IO9 is still stupidly broken, for the record. And it's highly irritating that the network it testing the redesign on the sci fi geeks. Get an internal testing team, lazybones. Also, cheapasses.

Where is my project's developer? He missed the meeting! It was important!
