I guess winter is finally here
They are now calling for us to get 3 to 6 inches of snow tonight, and another 6+ on Saturday night. So this should be a fun weekend.
Tomorrow night my work is taking us all to a Wild game for Christmas, and paying for us to eat at a very good restaurant in the arena too. They've done this three years in a row now and we all love it. Of course, it's also bringing it home to me that ZOMG IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS AND I DO NOT HAVE EVERYTHING DONE THAT I NEED TO HAVE DONE.
I'm hoping that the snow will hold off Saturday until we make it to the British Advertising Awards at the Walker Art Center. People, I don't know if you've ever gotten to see the commercials that win these awards, but if you ever get a chance, do it. This is the premiere December event at the Walker; they do multiple screenings a day and most of them sell out, even on weekdays. You might roll your eyes at the thought of watching an hour of commercials that "won awards", but some of them are funnier than entire full-length Hollywood movies. And some are just amazing visual pieces. Seriously. If they put these commercials out on DVD, I would buy it. Here's the commercial that won the grand prize last year...
