Ok, I'm off. Since it's a two hour commute, the snow is supposed to have started by the time I get there so if it looks dodgy I can just turn around. But I suspect I'll be off tomorrow, so I'm going to try to get today in if I can.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is Luddite-ridiculous, because all of the information is in the database (it better be, or I've screwed up), but I love that I can reach into my drawer and pull out the notebook with the meeting notes from last June nearly instantly. Because I remembered what style of notebook I had at the meeting, not because I remembered the date.

Because books.
I am at work! In an office! This is pretty cool. And I can apparently write about anything I want for now, including opinion pieces. Anything anyone wants me to sound off about?

Cool, Amy! Art? Literature? Why people won't use their turn signals in the rain?
I made it in. Getting home may be another question entirely, but so far so good.

I just did a piece on the anniversary of Whitney Houston's death, and her mom's interview with Oprah and her new memoir. I think I'm going to do Five Movies You Should See Before the Oscars next.
