I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

-t and Jessica - thank you so much for your help on the wii fit review. It's done and up at geekmom. I did ask them to make me a River Tam Fight workout and an ATLA tai chi workout.

We went out last night for drinks and a big team dinner. Considering how rough I am feeling right now, I'm glad that I noped out of going to the bar afterward. Still managed to pack my suitcase and check in for my flight successfully last night in spite of all the booze.

The Avatar tai chi idea is brilliant.

Avatar Tai Chi would be awesome.

A woman with my mom's name was supposedly Reagan's model for the "Welfare Queen" [link] It is very weird to keep seeing her name in that article. Especially since my mom was a Welfare Examiner/Social Worker.

Ha! This last episode of Scandal, where Papa Pope is laying into Fitz best speech ever. Everyone on this show except for David is completely reprehensible. But damn Rowan can speechify with the best of them.

We were supposed to get an Icepocalypse, but that part of the storm missed my town this morning. I was having panic attacks about how bad the commute would be, snow over frozen rain over the ice remnants of previous storms. But it looks like the "wintery mix" will hit during the day. North of here is horrible, though, and I feel a little guilty for how grateful I am.

My sinuses are frelled. Major sinus headache and way too much snot. Plus I have a fuckton of work to do. I'm pretty sure it is air pressure related. We came out of the deep freeze into a few 50 degree days, which went up to the high 60's yesterday and now we are back down to the low 40s with potential snow overnight. Joy.

I sent out a notice to my PMs that I'm going to take as much time off over the next two weeks as possible - so I'm waiting for the influx of "but I need X immediately". Which, I probably won't get until Monday morning.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Car partially unentombed. I think my neighbor cleared his spot by throwing snow against the front of my car, or else it just drifted up between them. Bad pool, unidentified neighbor.
