snowbound!

[llcoolvad]

Getting a little tired already of the SNOWPOCALYPSE. Did some grocery shopping Thursday night, left work early on Friday, and haven't left the house since. Landlord handles snow removal (and he's such a swell guy he even gets a lot of the snow off of our cars) so I've had no reason to move.

And I've got wicked cabin fever!

There's not even any television on, now that we've hit the Holiday Dead Zone! I managed to finally watch the three movies I had out from Netflix last night. I finished one book and started another. I talked on the phone. I ate. I read all of the internet (you people need to write more). I played with the cat. I napped.

I. am. bored. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Staying inside all cozy and warm for a long winter's weekend sounds great in theory, but I find that when I know I CAN'T go anywhere I get restless and irritable. So that's where I am. Restless and irritable. And it's STILL SNOWING!!

How's your weekend?

Man, I hear ya. )-:

Babies got me up at the asscrack of dawn today, so I've filled my time so far by baking a cake, starting cupcakes, running to the grocery store for an ingredient that disappeared off my counter during the party (chocolate chips -- wonder which kid was on a super sugar high when they got home?) and then I'm going to sew stockings for the sprogs and wrap presents. And, laundry. And then shovel again. And then nap. And then eat cake and cupcakes.

Cake and cupcakes?!! WAAAAAAHHH! I was being practical when I shopped on Thursday and didn't buy many snacks. And we have no mixes or even real ingredients in the house, damn it. Tracy was making cake today too. You people all suck!!

Well, the roads aren't *that* bad... (Okay, yes they are.)

I'd save you a cupcake, if I was seeing you soon. As it is, I'm not at all convinced my parents are going to be here to turn their noses up at 'em, though apparently USAir is telling them they're going.

Yesterday was unseasonably warm (upper 70s), so I cleaned out the fish pond and cleared up some fallen tree branches. Today is cool (30s), so we are doing projects around the house. Blog writing, cooking, more laundry. Also movies. We're Netflixing all of "Briscoe County Jr." which is quite fun.

Practical? How boring. Do you have the stuff for bread pudding? breadcrumb cookies? Google what you do have and you might find something good you can make from them.

P.S. Robin just dragged me away from the computer to show me how he had reorganized the freezer.

The sun is now out, and all is shiny again. Last night I walked down to the grocery store (it's literally one block from my house) and bought some cannolis and some thumbprint cookies. How's that for impractical!

I am confused by the US TV Dead Zone - which has impacted on me for the first time, since we are, unusually, in step with the US for Heroes series 3.

In Britain it's the complete opposite - there are lots of Christmas specials and special showings of films which I never have the time to watch because... it's Christmas. I didn't see last year's Doctor Who Christmas special until March last year. (Which was just as well, as it was rather sombre for Christmas if you ask me.)

Well, TV is still BROADCASTING and everything, but every scripted drama-type show (which is pretty much all I watch) goes on hiatus until late Jan/early Feb, usually starting the first or second week of Dec. That frees up time for more reality shows, more specials, awards shows, repeats, and eventually the Super Bowl. So we show the specials and movies and whatever, too, but I don't want to watch THEM! Heavy sigh.

And baseball doesn't start up again until April!

Woe.

We definitely don't have the drama hiatus, either. Things stop and start throughout the year.

Then again, our drama series tend to be much shorter - probably why we don't call them seasons. Doctor Who is about as long as it gets, at 13 episodes. So perhaps we wouldn't notice a hiatus all that much anyway.

I notice hiatuses (hiates?) for individual programmes - Doctor Who won't be broadcasting anything but hour-long specials (four, I think) until 2010, which is very annoying.
