Feb. 3rd, 2011 10:45 amWell, Chicago seems to be back to work this morning. The snow is high, but there are paths to everywhere I need to be, so I am here in the office, where about half the staff are in. One of them brought buns for Chinese new year, I am stuffed with bbq pork and coconut now.
The thing about snow is that fresh snow is not that dangerous. It's the muddy, gritty stuff that's been rolled around in road oil that really is a menace, at least in downtown Chicago. I am going to be bruised all over tomorrow from about half a dozen falls (I stopped counting) but the nice thing about slipping on snow is that when you fall, you fall in snow.
Still. Oof, my elbows.
NEWS OF THE WORLD! Down in the southern hemisphere, the score is Yasi 0, Australia 3: there were three births during the storm, and not a single reported death as of yet. WHEN I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK, AUSSIES, PREPARE TO FEEL LUCKY!
bluejeans07 linked me to the Korean TV ads for Sherlock (one and two), which...well, they do put the emphasis on very specific aspects of the show. It's like watching TV through a gay romance filter. Which, let's be honest, I do half the time anyway.
Also, Jodhpur is beautiful in blue.
