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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I swear, the majority of the internet is for people to criticize other people while not knowing what they're talking about.

The rest is for cats. And porn. And people complaining about porn to their cats.

Also, parents don't whine about kids going to school on a regular schedule. We whine about unexpected kids at home on days when we're supposed to be working.

Librarian Warlord

Lee might remember but one of the early conversations our librarian classmates had was about living in places where the weather report was supplemented by something else. Someone who had lived in Hawaii mentioned that the weather was really a surf report. I was coming from Buffalo, where we'd get the number of minutes it would take exposed skin to freeze.

In other weather news, NYC has reached double digits! We are at 18/feels like 15! I may go down to only one layer of gloves for my commute home.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

A guy in my office was griping that when it was cold suddenly children lost the ability to learn and adults the ability to work. Of course, he had a kid at home. But he also had NINE INCHES of snow where he lived. yikes!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

We're up to 16/feels like 5, and it's snowing.

And Duane Reade was sold out of Hot Hands again. Maybe I'll just order a case from Amazon and keep them in the basement for the next polar vortex.

This is the actor who played the trans teenager on The Fosters. And he's an actual teenager, too! I think that all the kids on that show are actual teenagers, rather than 30-year-olds playing 16. [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Man, screw all your double digits. We're at 8, feels like -6. Woo. My brother in Vermont is warmer than I am. Bastard.

t edit Oh, I misspoke. Feels like NEGATIVE NINE. I think maybe the trip to CVS can wait until tomorrow.

It's a balmy -8 C here. -15 C with windchill. But we did get almost a foot of snow yesterday.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I love The Fosters. And for some reason I love that one of the creators was Peter Paige from Queer as Folk (he was Emmett, the southern one). He seems so nice and talented. He said he basically milked QAF to also learn everything he could about writing, producing, directing, etc.
