Silly Site o' the Day

No problems at all getting around in the city today Of course, our driveway still hasn't been plowed or salted, and there's also that matter of the Moses Brown school being closed... oh, you hadn't heard?

Well, that was a big nothing. And as the Roches once said, "I never knew how big nothing could be," so kudos to the weather network folks! Nice to have a day off, although I did bring my work laptop home so technically I was working and ironing at the same time. Anything to keep warm. Except blog reading, apparently. But hey, today's silly site is kinda fun - Buffalo Bill Gates is a photo mashup Tumblr of famous faces (via Laughing Squid). Cute visual person-puns.

This Monday hhttp://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2014/09/11/the-things-you-can-do-with-light/as felt like a Friday all day, as many of us suspected we'd close early and be closed all day tomorrow. Manhattan was a mess at 3 PM, and it took two hours to get home, but the good news is that the snowy conditions lessened the further north we got, and as of this moment the roads around us are nicely plowed and just a bit wet. I even hear a few airplanes overhead! Of course, that's all going to change in a few hours, and our hatches are duly battened, with all appropriate digits crossed that our power doesn't go out. Because if it does, how can we have fun with optics?

In honor of Carrie Fisher's appearance to honor her mother on tonight's SAG Awards, we present some Wookiie art. Get that walking carpet IN my way! Via io9.

There was snow, but no rain. So I did a bit of ironing this morning, then we went out about 2:30 to clear the car and take care of local errands (my veggies are all restocked now), and with any luck there won't be a lot of freezing tomorrow (except for our poor driveway which always freezes when the snow isn't cleared, which it never is in our section) and we can venture up to Yonkers in the afternoon to do our grocery shopping. Meanwhile, it's a good day to look at lots of food art I can't eat, here at Saipancakes (via Laughing Squid).

No sign of snow yet but we all know it's coming. Mom got socked with it in Jersey, so much for plans to visit her tomorrow (the roads are forecast to be way too icy). What can you do, no matter where you live it's something. And by the way, where were you born? Via BoingBoing.

Silly Site o' the Day

Had a medical appointment this morning at 10, so it didn't pay to go to work first. On the one hand, this compressed the work part of my day to the point where tomorrow's going to be a lot of catch-up; on the other hand, I got stuff done at home that I've been slacking off doing, so that was good. But the blogosphere... well, that's taken a back seat. Probably just as well, I don't know how productive derailment bingo is anyway...

Starting to lose track of days here, now that I'm busier. Maybe I have to cut down on yon television perusal. So what I'm saying is, maybe lay off the My Decade TV (via Laughing Squid)...

Silly Site o' the Day

I never thought I'd say I love getting further and further behind in blog reading, but when the reason is that my work days are filling up at the job I just adore, and I'm getting to organize stuff for other people (my favorite activity) for a large part of the day, I'll take it. Besides, I have plenty of Silly Sites saved up, like this one about a guy who doodles in public (via Laughing Squid) only I guess they're calling it Snapchat now. See, I'm too happy-busy to even keep up with the hep lingo these crazy kids today are using.

The ice lingered on the local sidewalks this morning - have I mentioned how much I love my cleats? - but the streets of Manhattan were practically dry. Work has picked up enough to fill my day without draining me, so no more blog reading or other time-fillers but I'm not thoroughly exhausted when I get home any more. And we're getting through the DVR at a good clip - I think Robin's finally tackling the season premiere of Girls, which I no longer watch. I prefer HBO's Powerpuff Girls:
