With only the university library open, more snow than Whistler, and no reasonable way to get into D.C. (they closed a lot of roads here), I remained at home in my resident city making snowman, walking the neighbor’s dog, and listening to jazz in a basement bar. I was gifted with a ride around the city on a 4 wheeler, and I walked, but only because there was no way, and nowhere (literally), to run. The snow was deep and the paths were scarce, sidewalks or roads one and the same, just not there.
The goddess of electricity was good to me this time around, my wireless never failed, my laptop and cell phone stayed charged, and because of that, though never one for Twitter, I twittered.
Much has happened during this involuntary detention. It’s difficult to know at which corner of the collage to begin. Clinton, at age 64 was hospitalized for stents, while the darling designer of celebrities, or as the L.A. Times called him “the fashion world’s reigning provocateur”, Alexander McQueen, passed at age 40. Google Buzz exposed me, and the Blow Job Queen voluntarily wrote copy for The Atlantic. John Mayer exposed his poor character, while revealing his white supremacist dick, in a Playboy interview — I’m sure “Sexual Napalm” is supposed to be a good thing, but I ‘m not sure enough to say “you go girl” to Jessica Simpson. .
Then there is the suggestion by politicians, from my state — go Maryland — that we must amend the Constitution to ensure that people, not corporations, own our government and our elections. They are right.
The assignment for Old School Friday is Best Song From A Movie. I will get back to you on that, but feel free to post your old school friday choices on your blog.
peace
Couldn’t you have posted us an image of the snowman?
Cellphone worked.
It’s okay. I suppose it wasn’t photo worthy.
It’s nice when you have off, you’re able to provide an interesting collection. Good post.
I had something I was going to say, but forgot. *Checks hand note* Nope I didn’t write it down. Uplift the people, I think, or cut taxes. Sorry, My redneck teleprompter is smudged. OH! complain about smudged hand notes! DUH…

You got me so upset I forgot to sign in.
Upset, over? idk. Sorry if so.

Dueling Banjos?
.-= Doug´s last blog ..Half =-.
Damn! Poised and ready to go with the great toothless, but Doug beats me to it that dirty dog!
And so now I am left with something along the lines of I Might Like You Better If We Slept Together but that’s just not as good in deliverance as a couple o’banjo’s… which really weren’t.

I will not be able to beat that
choice.
Huh? Upset? Don’t know of what? I’m sorry. Wrong reply?

Love this post. I’m going to be late for an appointment as I had to follow the links
So Jen doesn’t get Twitter? Following Mayer’s logic I shouldn’t be able to click on it. I use it when I can think of something poetic in 140 character or less (I taught Doug how to find me as he likes my tweets. From the queen of too much to…)
Hate Google Buzz. It almost forced me into it when Gmail had me sign in. I resisted but of course went back
I thought being late was just what New Yorkers did.
This is my first morning to work. There are few people in the building. They plowed our street from this last storm for the first time last night. Involuntary detention is right.
There is a loss of respect for Mayer that’s for sure.
Yea, B-more was a bit of a mess I hear.
What Doug taketh, he giveth back.
Doug’s word of the day is hurricane – a word which almost always makes me think of one of my favorite Dylan tunes, Hurricane. Turned out to be a great cause as well.

he’s like that I hear.
Mayer is a man acting 15 younger than his biological age. I was saddened by McQueen’s passing though. Phair writing isn’t surprise she went to Oberlin right?
I know my movie choice, if you post one I’ll pass mine on.
.-= kait´s last blog ..Spring Black =-.
I didn’t really know much about McQueen except who he was…Mayer I am disappointed in – can’t listen to him anymore.
They have no equipment here because they usually do not get snow this close to the ocean. Home Depot had no shovels…it is Delaware after all they should have at least expected one day they would get hit. It is a mess still, but if I wanted to be oh so middle school I could start snowboarding off roofs with my surfboard. Don’t ell me the thought hasn’t occurred to you.
Mayer is an ass hat but wasn’t he drunk or high or something?
.-= G´s last blog ..Things Aren’t So Great =-.
Yes that whole goggle buzz makes me unhappy too. Suddenly you make one comment concerning a local place and everyone zeroes in on you.

I hope you did manage to sneak through the snow to a Valentine.
