Still waiting on our snow. We're supposed to get around eight inches by tomorrow morning, which doesn't sound like much. My mom had to brave the grocery store crowds as she was out of vodka and That Would Not Do.

In other news, Finn has just discovered that Spidey's tail is the best toy ever.

Fay is so adventurous! I wish I were that brave.

Truly she is the Travelling Matt of the board's Fraggle Rock.

Timelies all!

The con is over, and we're hanging out in the filk room. Had to call and reassure my folks we were ok.

I saw a woman arrested in the CTA train I was in today. Apparently she caused a 20 minute delay earlier on a different train. Now I'm curious as hell as to what she did.

Funny that the cat with the fluffiest tail ever is fascinated with another tail.

Mopped the upstairs in 20 minutes, everything is put back in order. Deployed space heater in kitchen, the draft was getting a bit much. Stupid cold and windy. Towel was solid and the bridge of my nose (only thing really exposed during me walk) feels funny from the exposure, an hour and a half ago.

Shoulders do not like shoveling+vacuum+mop+ swim. Or rather, it shows up in my swimming.

My neighborhood's power just went out, not because of the weather but because of PG&e incompetence. They may have it back on by 7, or maybe 9.

Wooooo

Bah, but just looked at the forecast. Should bring the the laptop home tomorrow.

Dear people with technical issues:

You will not endear yourself to your technician when you come in and say "Oh, I don't know anything about computers, you'll just have to connect in and do it all."

Keep forgetting I can't run the space heater in the kitchen with, well, anything else in that part of the house. Have reset the micro clock 3 times now. But no icy draft.

Pumpkin just ingested icyhot off my neck and is now attacking my head. Ow.
