So I am hard at work on the Chill stuff because I am determined to get whatever I can get of it done out tonight - one has to have goals - and I am running low on smokes, right? I take a quick gander at my taskbar and see that the temperature is a crisp 32º and it's precipitating, but it's supposed to be up to like 50º tomorrow and I looked high and low for my trusty umbrella to no avail, so I decided to wait.
About an hour ago, I am previewing my work in the browser and notice the weather people have changed their minds: it's going to sleet and snow through tomorrow, and it's going to be in the 30s then, too - it won't warm-up until Sunday! So I figured that I'd best go on and brave the elements, seeing as how I lack ice skates.
Sure enough, once I get out there, it's sleeting and snowing to beat hell and it's already piling-up quite nicely on the the cars. Large swaths of the ground are likewise covered, interspersed with big puddles that can't quite get up the nerve to go on and freeze.
The entire way there, I'm actually mentally blogging the trip! As though I were sitting here, typing it - just, you know, in my head - and I figured if this is a big storm front, I might had better give y'all a reason to stay inside tonight.
Sure enough, the weather people are saying to expect 2-4" of snow by tomorrow morning and this front stretches clear from Canada down past Tennessee, so I guess I'll get some of these press releases out to you in a few. I plan to be up pretty late tonight, and the roads are already slick enough that I slid a few times walking, so if you're in the path of this stuff, you really are better-off just staying in tonight.
There isn't shit on TV until 8:30 (CST), then there's Free Radio (really good show!) and a South Park marathon after that, leading up to Team America uncut at Midnight - which, well, I love Trey Parker and Matt Stone, I really do, but... if you've seen it once, you've seen it. Then Spectacular Spider-Man starts tomorrow morning on WB (and I have some more great news concerning the WB, too!).
Anyway, I am working with a whole lot of tables (which is extremely tricky), so I can't stop in the middle of things once I get started, but I just finished a single element within the larger project I am working on (which took literally all afternoon - three hours!), so I'll stop just long enough to pass along some of this exciting news. Then it's back to the grind (because the next leg of this tour involves more tabling).
