If you didn't know, Minneapolis got more than 18 inches of snow over the course of the weekend, which is the fifth worst snowstorm on record for this part of the country. The snow was so bad that the plows could not navigate the highways, city buses and trains were shut down for the first time ever, and the inflated roof of the city's pro football ( Read more... )

I know that at least a few of you folks on my reading list are planning on attending Icon in Cedar Rapids, Iowa this weekend. If so, you will definitely want to stop by and hear Beth Kinderman & the Player Characters performing a duo show (with an additional special guest in the form of chia_rhino!) on Saturday, November 6 at 1:30 p.m. in the Elm Room. chia_rhino ( Read more... )

Grosspost: Yesterday kyrryn and ilyeana's FRAKKING CAT threw up in both a) my shoes and b) my ukulele. It was just water both times, but still, a ukulele? What could possess her to think that this was an awesome barfing spot? So I'm doing the responsible thing and giving my ukulele into freeimprov's custody.

Heroes has done the impossible: Its season finale tonight made me wish there was more of Peter on screen so that we could see less of Sylar, who has now surmounted Peter as the gigantic Gary Stu Heroes character I hate the most ( Read more... )

I think that Francine and I may have gone about as far as we can go together. While driving yesterday I began to hear a muffled but audible ticking/flapping sound coming from the engine in the vicinity of the glove box, but only while driving at speeds of over 45 mph. No warning lights are coming on and the car drives fine otherwise, but this ( Read more... )
