Brian Would Be SO Jealous

I woke up this morning with a desperate need to pee. As I stumbled out of bed, a blizzard was going on outside my window. My eyes lit up, taking it all in. There was snow gathered in the corners of my windows (y'know, that stuff Floridians imitate with the spray-can stuff around Christmas time) and my backyard was covered in a blanket of snow- no dark spots to be seen anywhere. Anna, I discovered as I moved into the living room, the only room in the house with blinds, was sleeping on the sofa.

I hobbled downstairs, did my business and went to the basement windows, which have snow filling half way up the panes. I pushed open the backdoor as far as I could and the snow was literally 3 feet deep! Can you imagine my excitement?! I've only seen this much snow in movies!

Then I went upstairs to see if my paper had arrived. I looked out at the bottom of my front steps and there was a tiny flag of bright blue. Wow, the dedication! I didn't hem and haw like most folks who are used to this kind of weather do as I dressed myself to get the paper. Hell, no. This is faaar too much fun. Photos to follow.

The Fun Just Never Stops

Guess who discovered how to post to Moblog? You should check it out, especially because today is my first hard snow and She and I are house-bound, which means that the moblog will be quite full.

For you who NEVER STOPS BITCHING about my lack of images of my surroundings, you're about to be inundated. I hope you were careful for what you wished...

Another Blog

Before I go ANY FURTHER with anything else I do today, I want to link you to my academic blog, the daily journal I'm required to keep for my internship. I hope you find it as informative and interesting as I find the work I'm doing. Since I've moved into the internship position, I'm allowed greater access to the Partnership; that is, I'm able to lend my services out beyond the corporate headquarters and the direct supervision of Arnold. I feel like the work I'm doing is suddenly important, and my impact here is recognised, or at least useful.
