Snow is coming down

Winter Storm

Went out in the snow to check out what and how it’s coming down. It’s a mess. More like sleet than snow. I don’t think we’ll be getting that two feet, because it’s too wet and it’ll compact itself down. I think it would be more like a foot.

Unless it keeps coming down until tomorrow evening like they say it will.

Cheese curls

Looking for snacks before the storm?

I wish Planter’s still made their cheese snack line especially their cheese curls. I loved that they advertised on the can that it was made with real cheese flavor. Hmm, made with cheese flavor? That doesn’t sound like it was made with real cheese though.

As far as getting snowed in. I’ve already got some ramen and some eggs. I just need the salty snack to help while away the lonesome day.

Real Ravens Fans?

Real Ravens Fans?
Originally uploaded by browsermetrics.
In the current issue of ESPN, the magazine, (Feb ?) they asked fans of
this year’s losers who they’ll root for in the Big Game. Here’s who
the Ravens fans are gonna be rooting for. This one is hard to believe.
No true Ravens fan would cheer for the Colts. They asked the wrong
people. Must’ve been fair weather fans.

When I read this I did a spit take and snapped my head back! I may not
be a die hard Ravens fan, but I won’t root for them over the Saints.

Ten Best Pictures!

Here’s imDb’s list of nominees.

I’ve seen seven of the ten best pictures: Avatar, District 9, An Education, Inglourious Basterds, A Serious Man, Up, and Up in the Air. Interesting considering the number of nominees.

Of the three I didn’t see, The Hurt Locker is the only one I’m really interested in. The Blind Side maybe. Precious, based on the Novel Saphire by whatshername, not interested.

I wonder if this changes things for the Oscar Pool?

What’s the deal with no Ponyo though?

Snowing once again…

broderic on February 3, 2010

What a winter! It hasn’t been like this for fifteen years. We’ve had a big snow storm before Christmas. It wasn’t a blizzard, but it snowed for two days. Then we’ve got the cold. There were a few days earlier this year where it was below 30F. Now it’s snowing again. Winter time.

It’s a wonder that I haven’t gone boarding.

Gravity’s Pull

R.E.M.

They are so 80s. So high school. So that time of my life. It reminds me of fall going into winter and having to do winter soccer. Being punk rock. Or being an outsider. What is it that Holden Caulfield said about all the phonies at his school?
