Happy new year

[bironic]

+ Snow! Appears we got about 10 inches. I love living north-ish.

- Polar air following the nor'easter = at least one of the pipes in the building has frozen. Upstairs neighbors have no running water in their bathroom. My sink is fine, hot and cold, but the shower is plugged.

+ Landlords & plumber are on it.

+ Office closed early yesterday and remains closed today = basically two weeks for winter break.

- A couple of office things are making me anxious, so I may work on them anyway to help myself out.

+/- Bought Riddick m4v yesterday instead of waiting two weeks for DVD to come out; was disappointed by it, but there's a good scene in chains for my vid that I will use; except the DRM issue is a bear; but after hours of searching/failed attempts, I acquired a program that should work; only it didn't the first few tries, and it takes two hours a pop; but it looks like it finally will this time. WHY IS THE UNIVERSE AGAINST ME MAKING A KINK VID

+ Brunch tomorrow with a couple of grad school classmates, followed by a small gathering of local Festividders, some of whom I haven't met. \o/

? How are you all faring so far in 2014?

Snow here too, and the year going very well so far! I'm prepping for my lectures which start next week, and otherwise generally lazing about. I may do some thorough investigating of the Code Name Verity fic on AO3 later today, possibly with hot chocolate. Yay for Fridays.

Yay for snow day Fridays, no less. I too am contemplating hot chocolate. I don't have any mix, but I do have a bar of 85% dark Lindt that I bet could be coopted.

That's the second Code Name Verity reference from my flist this morning; looks like pun is getting into it. Cool.

It's cold as ass here, but I got to meet two fangirls for two separate meals, and today was also a semi-snow day for me. 2014 is all right!

Yesterday we had a "flesh will freeze in 15-20 minutes" warning. Which is just what you want to hear when you're out shoveling, or just taking a walk because you've been cooped up for days. Still, better than Maine! And today it's going to be in the balmy 20s F.

Happy 2014 to you! I'm doing well, just back from a 2 week break at home, which was filled with (too much) good food, lovely people and long walks/hikes. Unfortuantely Bavaria was unusually deprived of snow for this time of year, but the weather was beautiful, so I was not too sad that I only managed to go skiing once.

Ah, that sounds lovely. If you were here you could cross-country ski on the sidewalks, heh.
