The Quiet Before The Storm (a various. sundry remix)

[lagilman]

And so the day passes, and dusk falls, and people are going insane at the supermarket. But not me. I went already. I shall not starve.

*eye rolling*

Seriously, people, the forecast says we're going to get a foot+ of snow, yeah. If you spend the next 48 hours without milk or bread? Not going to be the end of the word. In fact, I suspect that by Sunday, most of us are going to be able to get to some kind of food store.


Personally, I'm looking forward to it. The Hudson froze last night, and we're officially under a blizzard warning, starting noon tomorrow. Finally! it's winter! I plan to throw some soup makings onto the stove, make some hot cocoa, wrap up in some blankets, and hunker down with my projects-under-deadline. And then, once the snow ends and the winds die down... sledding!


Today was spent working on a client project, which is a nice change-up for my brain. I love editing. So long as it's not my own stuff. *wry g* On the my-own-stuff front, there's a short fiction reject (no surprise, that editor has yet to buy anything of mine), and the workup for Retrievers #3 which is currently called Better Fences, sent to l'agent (all hail her). And still working on revisions. Wheee.


And in the world outside, meanwhile, a Conservative Christian group has obviously had their meds misadjusted. You've heard about this, yes? They're claiming that the We Are Family video is using Spongebob Squarepants to "promote homosexuality among six year olds across the country."

To their credit, without actually doing anything other than reading the scroll, the newsreaders maanged to give their opinion of that story by their very post-story silence (the only comment made was one woman at the desk going "hmmmph.") But seriously, folks. Saying "we should all respect and love each other? Regardless of the flaws of each of our lives?" That's not an idea original to this tape. In fact, some guy names Jesus was reported to have said it, too...



And it's cold out. Didn't think I'd forget to mention that, did you? They claim it's 20 degrees. They lie.

So, umm, this wouldn't be the best time to be flying to Albany tomorrow? (Heads off to find a weather forecast.)

[lagilman]

Albany's a three-hour drive north of me, so I don't know, but my sister in Boston is expecting a foot of snow also so, um, expect delays?

I miss being snowed in. I miss feeling that you couldn't do anything constructive, and it was due to inexorable Fate and in no way your fault, so you might as well cuddle up and enjoy it.

It was like a gift of time.

everyone at work was ranting about the upcoming snow. And how they might not have work on monday. But as you were saying, by sunday, chances are people are gonna be able to move around. This is the tri-state area. By Monday everythings gonna be fine except for some ice, all you need to to is get up a little earlier and drive less enraged than usual.

but anyway. I CANT WAIT FOR THE SNOW! lol, had to comment since you seem to share the same love of the white stuff. I dont care if its winter as long as there is snow. if its just cold and boring it sucks, but when the snow comes around, awesomeness

I bet it's colder here. And it's worse because me and Keith and Terri are at a convention, and there's no in-hotel dining. So we have to brave the cold to eat. :P

Thank god the newsreaders showed a modicum of intelligence.

Well, if you must go to Arisia....

(hopefully, this will head off the usual Boskone Blizzard)

Have fun storming the dealer's room for me!
