This snow, it's so cold, is the consistency of sand. But lighter. Which makes shoveling a completely frustrating endeavor. Brooms work and then the wind...
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

I love going to Cubs/Brewers games for this reason
That's a good example because almost nothing is of less consequence than a Cubs/Brewers game.

I haven't given any of my money to Exxon since '89, because I still hold a grudge about the way they handled the Valdez spill.
Sometimes not buying boxes is a false economy. If you're packing something like books, identical boxes really speed up the process.

For books, I recommend going to a liquor store and using wine/booze bottles. They are sturdy and thick, and they are a small enough size so that they are not too heavy when they are filled with books

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Last night, they announced 11am open at my office. But somehow I feel my boss will be there at like 9:30, so I should get a moveon. I am taking a leisurely morning routine, and then I have to clear the steps (probably just sweeping).
It was so beautiful last night, with the snow all glittery.

3 degrees here. Snow day#2 after a long weekend. Have forgotten what day it is and any motor skills except those required for the rainbow loom.
I interviewed my editor yesterday for a web column, and she linked tv tropes once for an anime citation. I didn't say anything then, but now I want to go point that link somewhere else.
