It's cold. The high temperature today was about -2 degrees Fahrenheit. That probably doesn't mean a lot to many of you; being from warm climates, you have no experience with which to judge such a temperature. But take my word for it; it's cold.

Not the coldest I've ever experienced; that would be approximately -60 degrees Fahrenheit in 1996. Air temperature, not windchill.

It's not...

Thanks for the well wishes, but I am not really agonizing about replies. I am not even obsessively checking to make sure they got all my additional materials. Finishing applying was a big accomplishment for me, and I am just going to be proud of that for now...

Also, they really, really, really need to fix the punctuation glitch.

I am on page 689. I was just excited last night when I read the Ringing Vale scene in Mahsht. It was awesome.

I'm bored. Not my usual level of boredom. I'm even bored with the CE board; I keep getting bogged down in trivialities that I really couldn't care less about. It's hurting my hard-earned credibility or something.

And apparently people have a number of misconceptions about me. If you've ever thought any of the following about be, please allow me to set you straight.

1. That...

The last installment of TNT's Librarian series airs tonight. The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice. I like the series, and since it's thirteen degrees and snowing outside, what else is there to do? But I'd probably stay in and watch it regardless.

I'm amazed at the high production quality of some of the new made-for-TV movies. In addition to the above, the Sci-Fi...

I absolutely took your suggestion to heart. You knew what you were talking about, and I saw it when I read it. If I owned an argyle, I probably would have warn it!

Also, I want Stana's corset. WANT!

I hate winter. I'm feeling blah. Of course, I always feel blah, but winter is bad. Oddly, spring is even worse, so I have great times to look forward to.

So, someone say something interesting. Or at least mildly amusing. I'd appreciate it.

Enough self-pity for now. Perhaps I'll go find my drugs.

I'm still considering the business thing. I think I've joked before how...

I was waiting for someone to talk about the beer boobs!

And another thing that backs my "the Rev was sick" idea... no sermons. When I saw him in NY he gave the equivalent of Drunk Guy a long lecture. Nothing like that in the D. frown

He doesn't talk about Jey-sus, but he's a preach-ician.

I'm thinking of starting my own business. Manufacturing and retailing computers and computer components, accessories, etc.

However, it's a big consideration. Can I compete with the large retailers? I think I might be able to, by providing the type of machines that they don't offer. And by offering improved service.

But still. Where does one get the money for such an endeavor? What sort of...

The best way to give a rejection to a girl you are not interested in: No thank you.

The best way to reject a girl you're not sure about yet: I'm ok for now, but please come back and check on me later.

My skin glows orange in the darkness as I light a new cigarette from the remains of the old. As the stark bleakness of Nebraska comes grittily through the hifi, I wonder when and where my life derailed.

Today I accepted the inevitable, bowed to the unstoppable onslaught of winter, and put the winter tires on my car. That's my productive activity quota for the month, so I refuse to do anything more until the next.

Now I will lie back and eat grapes. Unfortunately, I don't have a nubile young slave girl to feed them to me, but I guess I'll get...

Not only do I know how to drive but I am that rare breed of New Yorker who has a car in the city and is had to master the art of parallel parking. I also have 4 wheel drive and drive to the mountains... I just had new tires put in place for winter. Ok, I did have it done for me but I don't have a drivewaysmile

Shit. I completely forgot that this morning I was supposed to go to a judges' training for a writing contest I'm supposed to judge. How irresponsible do I look? I don't even have an excuse as lame as being hungover from a Halloween night out. It just completely slipped my mind. I didn't remember until

I can't do anything about it now, of course, but...

Good. Go look and leave a detailed fucking comment. I want this damned set to go up already. Fuck this spammy MR shit. I'm submitting through SR next time.

I don't have a specific retirement amount in mind, this is more a way to keep track of how much I've made through dancing.

And oh, man. Snow. That's actually more normal than last year, though (was it last year or the year before, or both, when it waited practically until Christmas to really start snowing?). Is it real snow? Like, going-to-stick snow?

I'm peachy keen! Did you dress up for Halloween?

Terrible news. The Minnesota Public Radio Morning Show is going off the air December 11. This is awful. I've listened to the Morning Show for almost 10 years. They play music you can't hear anywhere else. I can't explain it; you need to check out their playlists to see how eclectic they are. I heard Roy Rogers and Dale Evans this morning. They also do...

Awww. That's super lame about MPR.

Unrelatedly, I don't think I knew you were a Fighting Piper.
silently_sarah:
Something like that happened to me as well I guess. Not as unique a show, but a morning show I liked. The first morning of the new show, I woke up to something that really really offended and pissed me off. I no longer listen to morning shows at all now. Such things simply will not do.
