It’s snowing. Again.
From last week’s storm:
And now it’s snowing again - a big nor’easter that’s supposed to dump another 8-10″ in our area (update: turns out it was only a few inches of snow, then sleet, and now lots and lots of rain & wind). I feel sorry for the kids at school doing outdoor sports this spring - softball, baseball, track, etc. - to still have this stuff around a month and a half before the end of the school year has got to be the pits. Thank goodness for spring break, when a number of the teams travel to warmer climes in order to get some games in.
Has been a relatively event-free weekend for us; I discovered 6 or so more boxes of books that we’d overlooked and got those unboxed (though the proper organization and shelving of our book collection still remains to be done. I am slightly overwhelmed at the project), a dump run has been made, and we’ve entertained my brother with a few hours of Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II, which we purchased this weekend (brother bringing along his own axe to leave with us for multiplayer fun). I have to say, the games are quite entertaining, but seriously screw with my eyes. The notes one has to play scroll down toward the bottom of the screen for a few minutes per song - at the end of play, /everything/ looks like it’s moving. This is particularly freaky when the pattern in our curtains appear to be flowing.
As usual, I’ve still got a list of draft posts, but they’re going to require more time and energy than I’m currently willing to expend. Back to hunkering down with another one of the books I bought while on our vacation, watching the snow, and waiting to watch the pilot for the new show, Drive, one of the creators/writers of which wrote four episodes of a favorite show of ours, Firefly.
