DTH - Yup, the game was over so fast they could (and possibly should) have played a second game to fill in the time. Which has happened before, and at the same ground funnily enough.

Rose - Does this mean you might get to see the actual ground, and not just the snow/ice?

Actual ground has yet to appear. When a total accumulation of about five feet has just been sitting in sub-zero temperatures for awhile, it doesn't go away very quickly. All we've gotten so far is a bit of melting of the solid ice on the roads, which has then become thinner, slicker ice when it goes below freezing again at night. And it's supposed to snow again on Saturday.
But when all this melts? Damn will it be green and pretty here!

Yes Penguin, five feet. None of it's melted, you see, so it's just built up. There are huge banks of ice on either side of my car where the plow guys decided to dump it. I've been getting very good at parallel parking and I hate it. I have been lovingly calling it "that damn frozen white stuff" and secretly shooting deathglares at everyone who's complained about their mild winter and wishing I could dump them in the seven-foot-high plowbank on the side of the highway I take to work.
Okay, not really.
Well, maybe. A little bit.
I'm really tired of the damn frozen white stuff.

and I love it when my hours of tinkering in photoshop pay off! (doesn't look like it took that long, does it? The problem with matching a pre-existing font is that it takes some tweaking. It took about two hours, I'd say. I always lose track of the exact time, though.)
You know I always like to be doing something, though. I luv messing with banners and avatars! And I need a new vision for either songart or Fireflyart. My muse took a little vacation. I bet she went somewhere warm, too

*packs a large cooler full of snow to send to DTH*

Shipping on that is going to be really high. You know what? I'll just give you a picture. Now this was taken right after the first storm, but very little has changed, except here it looks soft and pretty rather than hard and crusty and frozen.

Don't let the pretty blue sky fool you. It was cold as the Cocytus out. It was less than four days before it snowed again. And then it snowed again four days later. In fact, it's been almost exactly following my work schedule. Ugh!

MSG - this is where things get awkward. Because I don't actually *have* a house. I rent a room. In a four bedroom house I share with three other girls. So the answer is... not a great many.

Still, I'm sure I could pitch a tent out back or something... I should really open a guesthouse. 'Browncoat Tours'. Heh. That'd be cool.

Well, as I've posted before I love it here. Sure, it's dirty and crowded in the city and people can be grouchy and the traffic is *awful* (modern populations do *not* blend well with medieval road layouts!) but it's got eons of history, loads of great cultural places, an atmosphere you'll never get anywhere else and, generally speaking, the weather and wildlife are unlikely to kill you. I think that last trait is vastly underrated in a country.

Okay, I'm *really* late! See you all soon! *hugs board*

Scientist Develops Caffeinated Doughnuts

DURHAM. N.C. (AP) -- That cup of coffee just not getting it done anymore? How about a Buzz Donut or a Buzzed Bagel? That's what Doctor Robert Bohannon, a Durham, North Carolina, molecular scientist, has come up with. Bohannon says he's developed a way to add caffeine to baked goods, without the bitter taste of caffeine. Each piece of pastry is the equivalent of about two cups of coffee.

While the product is not on the market yet, Bohannon has approached some heavyweight companies, including Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks about carrying it.

Been cleansing and miserable for more than a week now.
Yesterday I did the liver cleanse and felt like I was gonna throw up for hours.
Last night my ex found me on myspace. I'm his biggest regret and his one true love and he would do anything to have me in his life again

Seems the cleanse is extending to my personal life as well. I just want to

As far as the cleansing goes..just keep in mind how much better you'll feel when it's over and done with...in the meantime - the chammomile should help soothe your nerves & tummy too !

Yes, this is the ex of doom. Soooo much doom.
Wrote him back. Probably shouldn't have, but you know it's been a year and I really don't care anymore, so I basically said "Right, thanks for the apology and I hope you learn from your mistakes and appreciate the next good thing that comes along. Have a nice life." I was a bit more eloquent than that, but that's the gist. Felt pretty good, actually. Just one more toxin out of my system.
And yeah, I think the 'my ex is happy! must rock the boat!' radar went off

Don't overdo the cleansing or you'll find out what purge and purgatory have as a root meaning.

You can also really throw your pH and electrolytes off which is just as bad, if not worse than, the nasties you're trying to ditch.
