WS, that's amazing!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Old Ezra Pound knew a thing or three about words and weather, didn't he?
That's what my office is for...
I work from home, so...yeah...danger. I mean, I COULD send stuff to Kelly and C's work. Maybe even CJ's.
For now though, I have plotted cooking, which is pretty exciting. I have wanted to have a No-Rouz (Persian New Year in March) party at my home for the last few years, but timing has SUCKED (travel, moving, no money, family drama...). But this year we are going to make it happen. We blocked out the party date on the calendar and the two days prior to prepare the food. Anyone who wants to come out to Colorado is welcome, but I can't offer a couch as C's daughter will be here for Spring break and she has dibs.
Oh oh, and come April/May, I'll have an actual guest room (slash home office). And I can have actual guests!!!
I need to set out mousetraps. I'm dreading it. Putting it off until late, so I don't sit here waiting for the snaps.
I'm watching a Tom Baker Dr. Who episode (Terror of the Zygons! Nessie! Doctor in a Tam o'Shanter!) and the very first notes of that era's theme put me right back in that college-era basement apartment where I first met the Doctor. I guess it's very appropriate to get time whiplash while watching the Doctor.
I kinda wish there was a market for ameture baked goods. I'll bake something, you cover the cost of the goods plus a bit extra, and you get to take the nommy stuff away.
That would make a good Task Rabbit thing, I'm thinking.
I'm watching this HBO documentary about Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher, and I think I'm just going to cry through the whole thing!
I bake cookies like crazy. The Y and neighbors get 99% of it. Work sometimes.
Y'all, they had a team inservice tonight at the Y, so all the guards and instructors were there, some I haven't seen since I had surgery. I walked in and they were all "we were just talking about you!" They were going to get a get well soon card for me, but they had to go to the director to get permission to use my address and with holiday schedules and all, it took longer than they hoped and they got it the day I came back! And the guard on duty the day I came back went on and on about how impressed he was and it was a little embarrassing in a sweet way. And the guard tonight was timing my laps and was all "this is slow for you?" ..and wants a picture of the gallstone.
I adore them.
Aw, sarameg, that's so sweet!
HBONow just helpfully informed me that I could watch that documentary, but I don't think I want to cry that much tonight. Maybe later. Giving Emerald City a try. Intriguing so far.
Edited because what the he'll autocorrect?
I'll have to see what my options are to see that HBO doc. I just finished the first ep of Emerald City. Intriguing is the right word.
No rain or snow here but its cold enough they're setting fires along the el tracks to keep the joints from snapping the bolts. I was out the door at 5:30am to attempt to get a ticket to Obama's farewell address. We waited in line for 3 hours (indoors, thankfully) before we were told our section of the line had no chance so we went out for breakfast instead.
