What are your plans for the leap second?
Watching Grace play mario galaxies is a scream. Gotta make sure the living room is storm proofed.
Lauren’s stop motion Rapunzel movie is well into it’s second day of production.
Seeking World Financial Group (#wfg) comedy (horror) stories. Heard of them? Got a nugget or a URL?
(primary booze acquired, a supplementary adjunct to mission gym, completed earlier as part of mission hate control and anger management)
About to undertake cheese mission. Supplementary missions include mission USB cable, mission NYE nibbles, and mission secondary booze.
The leap second has already taken far more from me than it will ever return.
I miss my zippo
Beachers ought to have as many words for dog poo as eskimos have for snow. Dogs are a big deal here in hilarious ways. Screenplay needed.
Judging by the quality of his stool, someone should put the dog that craps up and down our street out of its misery.
As for its owner, I imagine the psychodrama. Looks around furtively and if noone’s looking just hurries away from the pool of poo.
150 minutes of gym brought to you by Asian Dub Foundation and Rage Against the Machine. Drinking coffee and eavesdropping conversations.
Gym bag is packed. Smoothie is consumed. Attempting to achieve sofa escape velocity. Howling wind is unhelpful.
Ah dance dance revolution, the gift that keeps on giving. Time to open a bottle of wine I think.
Alice and Grace are taking turns killing each other in Lego Star Wars. Wii Lego Star Wars + 7 year olds = WIN.
Post-workout coffee mmmmmm. I hate this weather. Too grim and wet for t-shirts, too warm for outerwear. Doomed to sweat.
Time for gym, this is going to be painful. But there will be coffee afterward, as a reward. And of course, smugness is its own reward.
Listening to Alistair Cook’s Seasonal Letters from America. Cook’s voice messing with my head.
Refrozen slush with a nice dusting of crisp, dry (for now) snow. The illusion of traction followed by complete chaos.
Feeling shockingly good today. I thought this year’s failure to ramp up might have undermined my Booze capacity. Apparently not!

Could be worse. In Moscow the thaw brings back months of dog excrement for everyone’s viewing pleasure.
Of course it froze up again before reaching springlike proportion.
Dance dance revolution is testing my already sagging 1932 hardwood floors.
Shalom y’all! And RIP Harold Pinter. Will always remember my kid sister slaughtering several of your ironic silences.
I may start a snow catalog, following up on previous tweet. Today, icy lakes of run-off turn to crunchy refrozen slush.
I should sleep and gather my strength for the morrow. My predictions: flooded basement, fizzy wine, chocolate, dance dance revolution.
Only people who don’t live with snow could be surprised the a language has so many different words for it.
Been watching Marx Brothers movies with the kids - surprisingly successful - they aren’t normally fans of ‘grey’ movies.
We’re at the Canon Theatre to see Chittu Chitty Bang Bang. Quite exciting really.

Back in Canada. Buffalo drive was uneventful. Blue skies!
Hahaha witness snowmageddon
I think I may skip the gym today. Wind chill of -20C does not appeal. Walking there would be OK. Walking back, wind (and snow) in the face.
Supposed to get 10-15cm of snow tonight. -11C on Saturday. Driving to buffalo on Saturday. Coincidentally.
Missed some sunshine today apparenty.
Yay dentist!

Dear CNN: Cafepress G-strings with ‘yes we can’ on them != news. Hey! Skip the G-strings, maybe there’d be time for cholera in Zimbabwe?
Resorting to a cut-throat shave chez Roma. Perhaps this will shake my funk.
Hmm shaking hands. Caffeine or Parkinsons? Oh duplicitous dichotomy.

Incidentally, Jenny McCarthy is a blowhard fuckwit.
What the fuck why is Flash Gordon still going?
