Absolutely the last holiday season I bartend. People are major tightwads here, and I fucked up my back to boot. However, our new HDTV is beyond sweet and bought with cash, which is why I put the old tip tops back on in the first place.

Other than getting attacked by a psychotic terrier while walking one of our dogs in the middle of the street and Eddie's beloved Jeep getting smashed by a dickhead with no insurance, just waiting for the Arctic storm everyone is wetting themselves about. With any luck, most of the city will shut down on Tuesday since very few people here have any idea of how to drive on ice.

The fun part of the wreck is our rental car. We're in a black PT Cruiser until at least next week. Dark, rainy streets, winter trench coat on - very film noir.

Now excuse me while I catch up on the past two months of posts....

You'd be surprised how little there is to catch-up on...

Even in a state where we get ice every year, no one can drive on the shit. I hate to think what the streets would be like where no one will have any experience with it at all.

I'd hate to think of what the world would be like without your big stupid glasses.

I want SA to shut down, but damn, school starts that day and I have to be on campus to get a class changed. Maybe it can stay open until I change my class. I'll be happy to go home after that. But we all know nothing incites fear into South Texas like sleet....

I want SA shut down too, but not the one you're thinking of.

Shitbeans, school's closed. The Great Sleet Menace '07 has begun.

It's generally snowing in Maryland this time of year, but it's been pretty off. Since Christmas, we've had Spring-like weather, today was fucking 68 and we had to leave our windows open at the office, since no one had keys to adjust the thermostat.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 05:59:20 AM »

Haha bitches this is yet another step on the transformation of this country into a latin country! tropical weather! you have to thank Peru and its El Nino current for this one.
Hmmm 11 celsius feels sooo good. Shit but tomorrow is going to be -2.

Hey Ma....I'm posting from a diaster area.

Damn...I just got powet back after like not having since Sat. Morning. That was fun. What sucks is I rented a bunch of movies from Blockbuster and now I have to return them and I havn't even got to watch them. That and I just took my first shower in three days. Hope it stays on this time. Last time we got powet back we only had it for 4 hours before it went off again.

B E C K · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 07:08:07 PM »

I heard about that but I didn't think it actually included you. No showering by candlelight?

Yeah, except we already had semi-tropical weather and now we're ice-ville. Today's high was like 36 or something. A number of schools have already announced closings tomorrow. Luckily due to anticipating a busy, cold week, Merla and I had stocked up on groceries on Sunday so no one will have to venture out for food soon unlike the schmucks on the news.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 07:44:55 PM »

Confuse me?? You guys close up schools because its 36 outside? YOU ARE SO LUCKY, my fucking university wouldn't even close if it was 10 fahrenheit outside and with blizzards. Fucking greek president.

B E C K · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 08:30:40 PM »

They closed because it precipitated and reached under freezing last night, causing roads to ice over. We also had light rain throughout the day, keeping things icy. 36F was the high temperature for today.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 10:52:59 PM »

What's the forecast for tomorrow then?

B E C K · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 11:11:12 PM »

Cold with a side of schoollessness.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 16, 2007, 11:53:49 PM »

amateurs!
do you guys get black ice too? that sucks when you have a car...but i dont have one so i don't care....actually now that i walk to work it is going to suck...

B E C K · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 12:24:21 AM »

I think so. I don't drive either so I don't pay attention to that sort of thing. The reporter on tv was sliding around on the street, so I guess it's pretty slick.

Only if I want to freeze my nuts off while doing so, since the water heater is electric. We are like right in the middle of it. I actually know people that still don't have powet and it went out Friday. And the lights are flashing here as I'm typing this.

That's a heatwave for us. It got up to a whole 7 yesterday and was -3 last night. You know everytime I start to think I might actually want to stay here when I get some cash in my pocket, something like this happens and New Mexico, Neveada, or Texas start to look better and better...more then likely Texas. I've gone out in a T-shirt when it was 36 before, but -3 is for the fucking dogs.

B E C K · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 18, 2007, 12:21:27 PM »

We had glass grass, it was cool. Is your stove also electric? Ours is gas so if the powet ever went out, I'd be heating up potsfull for a bath.

Rama · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 18, 2007, 04:57:06 PM »

Yes..our heat is electric. We use to have wood heat, but I hated it and ended up getting my way and having it taken out about 2 years ago. Only time I wish I had it. But I was able to aquire a propane space heater, which I had lots of since I use it for my BBQ in the summer. Which was good, cause no store had any propane left.

B E C K · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 18, 2007, 05:44:32 PM »

What about propane accessories?

Rama · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 19, 2007, 10:22:42 AM »

Oh yeah..we got the burger flipper, the Thongs.....I mean tongs. The basting brush...sexy! And then a nice grill cleaner. Everything you need for the perfect summer BBQ.

And damnit..we are suppose to get more snow and ice this weekend.

B E C K · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 19, 2007, 08:24:09 PM »

We're suppose to return to the 30's next week. I saw some girl back on Thursday when I was leaving campus and the mama was wearing short-shorts. I felt like asking her if she was from up north, because a very few people around here do that. I wanted to spank her.

Wood heat? what? do you mean, like, you actually burn wood?

Fireplaces = win.

I miss having a fireplace. Not that it's terribly necessary here, but I like fire.

Yeah..like we burned wood.

And I like fireplaces too, but I'd never have them as the primary way of heating a house. More for atomsphere.
