i should probably apologize for the continued weather talk
would you like to hear the saga of my morning commute? half of it was actually my fault. first, you should know that the buses were running on a saturday schedule on account of today is president's day, and the subway is running on, uh, well, no real schedule, on account of seven feet of snow. anyway. i figured out how to get to work without having to be an hour late, so i left the house in time to get the bus to the appropriate t station. but i left without my t pass, so i went back to get it, and... missed the bus. >.< so i waited for the next bus, which goes to the not-so-appropriate t station, from which i planned to take another bus. bus comes, i get on it, two stops later i realize i left my work laptop at home. >.< so i get off the bus and walk home in the bitter fucking cold (i think it was 9º at this point), collect my laptop, and realize the next bus isn't for twenty-five minutes, altho at least it goes to the appropriate t station.
so i watch ten or so minutes of unstoppable (denzel washington! chris pine! rosario dawson!) - i'm still wearing my coat because did i mention it's really fucking cold out? - collect my shit, and go back outside to catch the bus. and then once the bus gets to the t station i have to wait twenty minutes for a train. >.<
so i was an hour late after all.
at some point - hopefully by memorial day - this will cease to be an issue. we can only hope.
we're having a mardi gras party at work on thursday, and i misread "due to the wrath of mother nature" on the email as "due to the wrath of mordor". all this weather is sauron's fault!
sleepy hollow: slightly less batshit.
in the first three minutes abbie nerdily name-dropped dr who, marty mcfly, and land wars in asia. (which you never get involved in. :D ) for men out of time i admit i was expecting her to mention steve rogers, but dr who and the princess bride totally worked.
OF COURSE ICHABOD CRACKED THE LIBERTY BELL. "A LITTLE." IS THERE ANY REVOLUTIONARY EVENT OR PERSONAGE HE DOES NOT HAVE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE WITH? JEESH.
i'm liking his hair down, tho.
so last week when frank was telling jenny about his soul and henry and the sigil on his hand, he was telling the truth about a. not having a soul, and b. trying to hide that fact. so he really is evil and soulless! good to know.
"sometimes old school is the best school. oh, batteries!" heh. ichabod making o.O faces at lawn flamingos and gnomes is adorable.
is henry actually mortal? did abbie manage to kill him? huh. and now frank has his soul back.
i love the fiddle-fied version of sympathy for the devil that they're playing over the "oh shit we're in 1781" sequence. i do kind of hope the ptb remember that there were actually free black folks walking around colonial new york, tho.
well that was kind of a weak liveblog.... i feel like i need to watch the episode again because i missed some important plot points, which i don't normally feel about sleepy hollow.
it's not me, snow, it's you - a breakup letter from new hoth boston.
forgive me but i can't help sharing pics of the snow - i like the pic of all the seats in fenway park.
fourteen fabulous photos of architecture - just so you know i can share things that aren't snow-related. :D
