I've gone and made myself a hoverboard which I can now fly around on.

You son of a bitch! Pictures, video, and link on etsy! NAO.

So many people were looking forward to the First World War so very much.

I suppose that amuses me too, but in a depressing, morbid sort of way.

And on a note that really should surprise no one, I am currently amused most by David freak-ing Tennant. His energy is infectious.

I have one of those mirror-closets. Neat.

And yes, I chose to comment on something other than the song, because if you watch it... you already know :-)

My mother told me to go buy a snow shovel today, "just in case."

A snow shovel. In Texas? Ha.

I don't know.  Some people are already calling this the storm of the century.  I'm just glad I don't have to work tomorrow.

Seriously, storm of the century? For a state that gets tornadoes and hurricanes?

Indeed. Worse for those of us not used to this kind of weather. The roads are packed with ice, and it's the first time I've seen such windy conditions with the snow (up to 60mph in some parts of Texas).

Man, I would be such a wuss in the north during winter.

Well the 60mph winds do make me feel better about calling it the storm of the century; low level hurricanes are right around there.

This brings up a hugely important question.  Now that we're in the new millennium, does "storm of the century" mean the worst storm since 1911 or 2000?

Also, where I am right now (in the Midwest) it's thundering, lightning...ing AND snowing.  Crazy!

2000! This is shaping up to be a pretty boring century, if today's storm if The One.

On the other hand...

Our skylight started leaking and now we have a towel duct-taped to our ceiling.  I am charged with blowing it with a hair driver every hour or so.  :P

Okay, I admit my own grammar and vocabulary is inferior to most folks here at the Compendium, but it's kinda funny when even professional firms here in India fail to form English sentences properly.  :lol: Just received my eProject assignment from Aptech; the plot summary they've provided gave me braindamage.  :o Not the plot itself, but the phrasing.

A sample:
Quote
...Again he hears the same sound. He moves backward took out his spear and throw the spear in the direction of sound in the bush. There is no sound now, he waits and then grips the spear and tries to pull it out but he can’t, he tries again but could not succeed.

J, I only just now realized you posed the Snow / Heat Miser song.  Many props to you.  I sing that song at least once a month.
