t sigh Fine. Be reasonable and grown-up and all that. I see how you are.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

MOTHERFUCKER. The outside gfi outlet? The one I had installed in 2009 and died in the 2010 blizzards? And that my dad replaced last October? Died again in last night's storms. At least this time I know the signs and how to replace it. It's in a fucking weatherproof box! Apparently NSM. I'm gonna put a condom over it. Or at least a ziploc bag. I NEED my outdoor lights, damnit. (The box is below deck, but feeds to one on the deck. When it fries, it takes out the deck outlet.)
I will let someone local know before I attempt to play with electricity, promise. Anna's expecting me around to go on our porches' roof to trim tree limbs later tomorrow, anyway.
I spent my day marketing and the usual shopping (plus extra CO2 bottle and goggles,) weepily listening to TAL's Rakoff sendoff, swimming, laundry and reading the Blogess's book.
ita, you'll let us B'moreans know if you've got availability, right? And if you're keen to stay in a cat-infested house, you are totally welcome, you'll even get a key to come and go at will... and the wifi password.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Absolutely, sarameg. Though, please move your city south in the meanwhile!
(Oh, and why get married near Christmas? I have to take time off to go home for that, and then time to go to your wedding? Whine, whine, whine...why is this wedding not all about ME???)
No, seriously--her wedding is the weekend The Hobbit opens (yeah, that's in my calendar). She is fucking lucky I love her.

Since this is as far north as I'll ever move, I'll do what I can, but I have a mortgage, so I ain't moving. (And you lived in fucking Toronto. That cold for 4 days in Jan rivaled Prague's over 3 months!)
Ah good, I should be in town then.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've started watching Game of Thrones. Is it wrong that I kind of wish it were Kings instead?

To be precise, I lived in Montreal.
I think that's technically colder.
Hmm. Now I have to look that up...yeah, never mind. Both too fucking cold for secondary sexual characteristics.
Disk #3 of the first season of Community. Such joy!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have been to the store. Also got cereal.
sara, is there, like, a super heavy-duty hurricane-proof outlet you can get?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I would believe that Montreal is often colder than Toronto. Detroit probably has temperatures similar to Toronto.

Looks like CJ officially got his car today. At least KCD's wife called to make sure I was ok with the whole thing. After it was a done deal for the most part. But I guess I had the opportunity to veto the thing.

Yeah, people kept telling me (laughing to themselves) "Oh, your first Michigan winter will be fun!" First off, why is this funny? Secondly...yeah, but no.
