The websites for the entire federal judiciary system seem to have been disabled by a cyber attack.
It's been a fun afternoon here in law library land.
Oh, look at the pretties!

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 feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

OMG, the White House is going to do a Big Block of Cheese Day, virtually: [link]
That made me want to rewatch the West Wing.
My old boss had that coat, Brenda. She swore by it in the winter. My big blue parka is also from Land's End. It's too warm for anything above -10C, but it keeps me toasty when it's cold. And it was on clearance too, so it was less than $100.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I also love my puffer coat, which I only got when I moved back to Boston, but I realized today that with a short skirt on, it looked like I was wearing leggings as pants! I was not wearing leggings as pants!!!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
How do we get the cheese?

Punishingly Intricate
This is the jacket I got when I was in Chicago in December:
It's not SUPER warm but it's roomy enough to wear a fleece underneath for the temperatures we've been having and then it's perfect weight. Plus kind of shockingly unbulky and flattering. I like it so much I even reviewed it on their site, which I never do.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Well, going to the gym on the way home from work, doing a round of circuit training, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi is undeniably pleasant, but it sure eats up time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That jacket is way wicked cute, lisah.

Should I mention that today was apparently a record-setting warm January day in Sacramento? Probably not.
I am jealous of people who have reason to wear nice coats, though. I like coats.

Asymmetrical zipper!
I'm ok with the cold because I haven't had to be out in it a ton. And I have warm clothing. But I did have a winter urban tragedy today--I left my gloves on the metro. I don't care about the gloves so much as the awesome overglove things I also left. I've had them for years and they are super warm. I hope somebody who really needed them got them.

The status is NOT quo.
Where do we talk about Downton? Because I have been catching up and have Opinions.
