That about sums it up

Posted on March 14th, 2006

I read this on Kevin Smith’s Blog and while not exactly eloquent (when has KS ever been eloquent?), I think it just about sums up the whole Middle East mess. I really don’t have much more to add, but… yeah. I’m scared too. And I wish life could just be totally, completely, snore-inducingly BORING for a change. Don’t you?

Lousy Smarch Weather

Posted on March 14th, 2006

You know that old episode of “The Simpsons”, the one Halloween episode with the Groundskeeper-Willy-As-Freddy-Krueger vignete?? And in the beginning Marge tells the kids they were at the school during the 13th hour, of the 13th day of the 13th month to discuss the calender misprints?? And it was all snowy and nasty outside and as they’re passing the calendar (which says Smarch) in question Homer says, “Lousy Smarch weather.”?? Well, we’ve sort of adopted that phrase lovingly around these parts these days.

Lousy Smarch WeatherWhere January was unseasonably warm and dry, and February more the norm, March has been a mess so far.? Snow, snow, snow… And ice.? And WIND.? Bleh.? I love stormy weather as much as the next girl, but all bets are off when the wind starts blowing.? And when I have to take my son to school in it. ? And ever since last year’s “incident” involving an icy driveway, I’m a lot more hesitant about heading out into the White. It wouldn’t be so bad if I could just hole up inside my house, bundle up in my fluffy robe and stay cozy and warm.

I suppose it’s too much to hope that all the snow will magically disappear in two hours.? Wish me (and my anti-lock brakes) luck!
