prepared

[opabinia]

I am officially free to flee the office as soon as I'm done with lab work. I am psychologically prepared to play Tetris with all four of the house cars and our driveway. I have no injuries or illnesses to interfere with or aggravate shoveling. I have movies, food, and booze. I downloaded Half-Life earlier this week.

Ten inches, huh? There'd better be at least one other able-bodied Exiler ready to go this afternoon.

Accumulations around Boston are forecast in the 3-to-6 inch range.

I will believe the amount of snow they're predicting when I see it. Weather forecasters get wound up like brain damaged pekingnese at any sign of snow ;)

I was raised with one! Crazy little bug-eyed fuck bit everyone he could. When he began to lose his sight, he started biting the thin air.

OMG that's awesome.

[panzerkunst.livejournal.com]

Thin air? Maybe YOU just couldn't see what he saw. ;-)

It's raining. But only the usual "tease" rain, not enough to help our reservoirs.

Durham...Arrakis... Desert Planet

I expect fucking SANDWORMS in my back yard this summer.

Oh, right. I forgot you weren't, Mr. Top-Hat-Congo-Airship-Flight.

Sorry, that was me, didn't mean to anonymize it. How's your Elvish GF doing?

You know, I just deleted that last comment of mine, because I realized I was moving from poking fun to being an asshole.

I am steamed about work. Sorry. I got my "bonus" check yesterday and the ATM actually played a recording of derisive laughter when I deposited it.

No reason to be snarky to friends on teh Internets, though.

Hah! I just dug your comment out of my inbox. I would not have taken offense. I think my reply would have been something like I CAN'T HEAR YOU

Sorry about the crap bonus check. That reminds me, I really ought to figure out what to do with the pile of debt my yet-to-be-driven, nearly-complete hot rod has earned me. Over the course of the YEAR THIS PROJECT HAS FALLEN BEHIND, my promotional loan rates have expired, and they have all ascended to cornholing levels. Time to rate shop.

I've already had to remind him, several times.

"Your name is NOT a killing word! STOP TRYING!"

I downloaded Half-Life earlier this week.

Be forewarned: One of the end levels of HL is an incredibly badly implemented jumping puzzle. After wasting three or four hours on it I just went and found a no_clip code.

You'll probably need to pull my car back another 2 feet or so to get everyone in -- when I parked I just backed in but not SNOW backed in. I left it so that my door opens unobstructed and in my experience that isn't far enough back. Also my rear view mirror collapse so you can get it real close on the passenger side if you need to. And my keys are in the closet.

No, I'm not on the internet.

ha ha ha...having no car means I don't care if it snows
