House with front lawn covered with pristine snow, looks really cool. House with front lawn covered with snow, covered with dead leaves, looks really shabby. Like, shabbier than the same leaves on grass. And then the dog goes out and tries to romp 'n' roll in the snow (which doesn't work because the snow is actually rock-hard), and brings in lots ( Read more... )

Rewatched an old favorite On Demand: it used to be Our Movie; it features a whole constellation of stars, in very early roles for them (though Kevin Costner looks a bit dead in his part); and has one of the bestest soundtracks EVAR!!!111 Strongest impression: when it first came out (the first five times or so I saw it) I thought Richard was so old ( Read more... )

Especially if there was any prospect ( Read more... )

While I was out gaming last night (good attendance, btw; inching toward the local climax, and very nearly some roleplaying along the way) - so while I was out, L was home throwing up. Poor L. Maybe it wasn't just the rain making him uneasy yesterday. Hoping for now it was just A Dog Thing; if it continues today, will have to take him in to see ( Read more... )

Pouring rain out there, but no thunder. Nonetheless, L is exhibiting some of his thunderstorm nervousness - restless, clingy, scared. I can make a couple guesses ( Read more... )
