dancing boys: *waltz around the room*
it is apparently as cold in canada (specifically southern manitoba)
as it is on mars. mostly this means i'm trying to picture the curiosity rover in a winter scarf. brr, tho. stay warm, canadians!
it is snowing in greater boston and i am excited. :D it actually started late last night, but this morning there was only an inch or so on the sidewalk - it was airy, fluffy snow - but it kept up all day, combined with some pretty impressive wind, and coworker d made me leave work at five. a bunch of people had already left but i still felt weird. because i take public transportation to work i've gotten very cavalier about traveling in unpleasant weather, but i always forget that while i just have to sit on the bus, someone has to actually drive the bus. which, at 5:30, was no big deal. but who knows what it's like now.
i can't tell if it's still snowing or not, and i have no idea what the commute is going to be like tomorrow and if i should bother to go in. i brought my work laptop home just in case. i hate working from home because it is SO HARD TO CONCENTRATE, but if it's really unpleasant out, at least i can wear my pjs until lunch.
knitted characters from the hobbit - as knitted by a welsh woman who works without patterns. O.O they're very, very cute.
and in that vein, sort of,
marzipan smaug the delicious.
meet jacki munzel - she's fifty years old and she qualified for the olympic speed skating trials. holy carp.
