We too have been hit by a cold snap! Well, it can just snap out of it! I mean really, -15C (+5F) is just way too cold. Hard to believe it was 60F a week ago.

Not when you have enough money in said bank to cover the purchase many, many, times over. See, this is likely to make me extremely angry ( Read more... )

I know I just posted, but I just remembered something from my Xmas trip to Las Vegas. I went to the Paramount Hilton (that's the hotel with the Star Trek theme) in order to buy some gifts for my special needs nephew, because he's an amazing guy, and he loves Star Trek. Anyway, as soon as I got into the hotel, all I could think was . . . omg ( Read more... )
