We got a little bit of snow, but the freezing wind is going to make me not love all the snow. Because I cannot go out and enjoy it. This is not what I wanted when I asked for snow. It was 9 degrees when I got out of work tonight, with a wicked wind blowing causing the snow to drift on the roads and making it feel like 7 below with the wind chill. The door seal o my car is split, so I had to scrape the ice off the inside of my windshield and back window as well as the outside. Is it spring yet? -M It is 7 degrees right now. As long as it is this cold out, I drive my son to school. We live less than a mile from school, so he is not provided bus service. It went from, like, 65 degrees, to 5 degrees in half a day or some crazy junk. Now it sits at that temp for most of the day.

It's currently 1 here, with wind chills at -10. Highs projected in the teens, with snow or freezing rain this afternoon and evening. I'm off today, I don't plan on leaving the house unless I have to.

My kids got a two-hour delay this morning, as the wind chills in our town were around -10. Some people like to complain that kids today are soft and that we coddle them too much, but I had to put gas in my car this morning on the way to work, and dang, it was bitter out there. I have absolutely no problem with the school district giving the bus drivers, crossing guards, teachers, and kids a break in this kind of cold.
Funny thing is, it is supposed to be almost 50 degrees here on Friday before heading back into the 20's and 30's for the next week or so. Guess I'll try to get my Christmas lights down Friday afternoon, or else it looks like they are going to be out there for a while.

Just read that Russ Heath was paid $50 for the 132 Roman Soldiers advertisement. Which was probably the work of his that was seen by the most people. If that's true...it's just...wrong.

The above was prompted by my reading this book at the moment.

Our local smalltown library has the original Star Wars trilogy in their DVD collection, and I'm heavily considering doing a marathon viewing of those today.
Was always more of a Trek guy, so I've only seen the SW movies maybe three times so far.

Hopefully it's the original original trilogy, before Lucas starting mucking around with it again. Things like showing that Han really didn't shoot first (he totally did) and a bad CGI Jabba the Hutt, are all things we didn't need.

All but one of the DVD releases so far only have the Special Edition versions on them. And the one version that doesn't (the 2-disc 2006 release, with the original cinematic versions as a bonus disc) has a really shitty quality transfer of the unaltered movies, sourced from a '90s laser disc of all things. A real shame.
