Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The history of architecture course was filmed lectures, but fascinating. There's not a lot of hands-on you can do with buildings.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I really hope someone is gathering up the homeless today. I'd also really like the snow to stop now so I can clean my car off before the temps bottom out. The climate change deniers are having quite the party commenting on every news story on this "polar vortex". IOW, don't read the comments.

I'm thinking of re-arranging my bedroom today. I wonder if that (like my recent need to constantly be eating) is some sort of instinct to help stay warm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In other accomplishments of today, I changed the lightbulb in my bedroom and put up hooks for curtain tie-backs. Soon, I will make biscuits for dinner!

If you're interested, I'd recommend jumping in now. Module 2 has just started. You'll have access to all of Module 1 as well whenever you want to go back over it.

Oh, yeah? I don't know if I can manage it right now. Waiting a year or so 'til it comes around again might actually be about right for me.

Just found out that my uncle is in the hospital after having some kind of seizure - they've had him cooled down (I think?) and unconscious for a few days, apparently. He was brought in as a John Doe (people he knew called the ambulance, but I guess that information didn't make it to the hospital), which makes finding out exactly what's up a little more complicated. He's my dad's brother, they aren't really close and he and I barely have any relationship at all, but it's still kind of shocking news.

ION: that broccoli soup really is delicious.

Oh jeez, -t! Your poor uncle.

Yeah. He was hanging out with people from his church when it happened, so I think he was probably having a pretty good time before, which is comforting.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

-t, yikes! I hope he'll be okay.

In other news, they have revised tonight's low to -13.

Edit: Not you, Anne! That is not at all comforting!

That is comforting.

I tried and gave up on changing the bulb in my back porch light. Another time when it is not so drippy outside.

And then also ate a delicious sticky bun courtesy of the same neighbor who does all the snowblowing and gave us the bacon! Luckily, I'm going to bring them half a cheesecake later.

That's a good neighbor to have.
