Happy Birthday, fimbrethil!!

Randomness

• I should have known none of the seniors in my radar meteorology class would get my Torchwood t-shirt yesterday morning, when before lab most of them were talking about The O.C..
  
• Looking back at Thursday's headline in The Indianapolis Star of "Promise: Roads clear by Saturday" makes me laugh that they didn't consider that we're currently getting 2 - 4 inches of more snow.
  
• I don't feel so bad for being achy after all the shoveling Wednesday, when my radar & dynamics prof/advisor's husband, who is fairly fit, was still achy yesterday as well. :-)
  
• I need to start studying for my atmospheric physics test that is next Friday, although it's open book/open notes/according to the prof, "open anything" (I joked about bringing my laptop). Also next Friday I have dynamics homework and a radar lab due. The former looks easy, the latter, I'm in the middle of, and it's a pain.
  
• I'm bummed Trader Joe's seems to have stopped carrying the ginger slices I love. I got a bulk order of chunks from a place called The Ginger People, and it's pretty good, but has had waaaaay too much sugar added.
  
• I need to order a t-shirt from Pandemonium Books in Cambridge, MA. They're one of the places I love to hit regularly when in the area (in fact, it's probably one of the few places we'll venture away from Ipswich for over spring break). I want to get one of these to help them stay in business, as they've got an awesome selection, particularly of UK-published imports.
  
• More later as events warrant. :-)

"Observe the snow. It fornicates."

(From The Straight Dope column in which Cecil Adams discusses the numerous words in the Inuit language for snow and points out the difficulty in translating the exclamation, "Look at all this fucking snow!")

2 more inches and it's still coming down, heavier and with larger flakes. Filling up where I worked so hard on Wednesday to clear, dammit.

I love snow from an aesthetic standpoint, but why does it otherwise have to be such a PITA? :-)
