I have discovered the one thing Korean delivery drivers won't tackle--snow.  Just a dusting on the ground sure, but it's probably a foot and change deep out there and they just wouldn't deliver.  So those of us working today went to the special ed classroom downstairs, the one with a stove and a garbage disposal, and pooled what food we had.  Woori ( Read more... )

It's coming down out there good.  I trudged through the snow to work about a half hour ago, soft flakes pouring over the toes of my boots like chilly beach sand.  I loved it.  I imagine it would get old after awhile, but it didn't snow at all like this last year.  I'm amazed that anyone is driving in it.  I'm at work, and no one has called me to ( Read more... )

Sherlock Holmes was lovely.  Whoever designed the effects should get an award, really stunning stuff.  The slashiness was there but it was much in the dialogue, kind of like an old married couple.  Adorable.

But not why I'm writing.  First off I get on the bus home, very front seat behind the driver where I'm fond of sitting because generally ( Read more... )

I went out for breakfast at noon, as I often do on a Sunday.  It started snowing.

It's 3:15 and it's still snowing out there.  Virgin snow is the easiest to walk in--it crunches and gives you a bit of a grip, and I even managed up the steep hill from old town to home without any real fear.  Everything is dusted in white, and it's so pretty.  I got ( Read more... )

It's cold in the halls. That's nothing new ( Read more... )

No pictures, because by the time the snowflakes got to the bench or my coat sleeve they were tiny ice shavings quickly melting. But I was sitting at a different waffle place today, one closer to the vet's office where I buy cat food and litter, and I saw them coming down. At first I thought maybe the bar upstairs was blowing bubbles as they ( Read more... )

I discovered at Delphi last night that I need a different paper if I'm going to practice calligraphy.  While I was in Cali I invested in a fountain pen, the steel nib kind, and for whatever reason it doesn't like the notebooks here.  I know it's the notebooks and not just that I'm out of practice because I wrote on the back of some printer paper ( Read more... )

It's sunset now, 7:13 pm though my mind wants to put sunset closer to 8, how I used to gauge time in the freewheeling days of summer non-vacation.  But the weather tonight is perfect, really perfect, as it's been close to these last several nights.  The thermometer on my clock reads 25C, which is 77F but it doesn't even feel that warm.  25C when it ( Read more... )

Looking it up now to see if it's a typhoon ( Read more... )

The rain started sometime last night.  I couldn't tell you when, except that it was after I went to bed.  The air coming in the window went cool.  When I got up, the cat's eating area was damp, and the screen above it filled with beads of water ( Read more... )
