Mother Nature gives Ohio the cold shoulder.
So we had that ice storm just the other day. It was kind of cool. Great photo op, and the temperature to sustain freezing rain had to oscillate between above and below the freezing point. Well...
My patio. We just had a blizzard warning over yesterday and today. Howling wind, snowfall as thick as fog, freezing-ass temps, and a level 3 emergency for our county and most adjoining counties. Level 3 means the cops will bust you simply for driving. Emergency vehicles only permitted on the roads. Turned the heat on in my bedroom for the first time since winter '06. Normally I can deal, but the wind forced draughts through my window pane that made my room feel more akin to a meat locker than a living space. The aroma of two years' worth of accumulated dust burning off the baseboard heater was quite charming, let me tell you.
Worst of all, we saw this coming. Dark Haired Girl and I had planned to spend my Saturday off being snowed in at her place noshing on a gigantic summer sausage and watching rented DVDs in each others' arms. Instead... I spend the day over here with my car buried in a snow drift (that's dramatic. I can see it just fine) calling her on the phone to see if she's ok, and surfing the net looking for jobs, used camera gear, and otherwise.

Speaking of otherwise, I stumbled across a link to alien porn. Yes, you heard me correctly. I tentatively clicked the link with an already-amused smile curling my lips, only to explode to maniacal laughter upon the sight of an adult movie actress covered in green gelatin screwing somebody wearing a dollar store Halloween alien costume in an inflatable little pool.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again... truth is FAR FAR FAR stranger than any conceivable fiction, whatsoever. Think about it: there actually is a subculture of people who are really into looking at that stuff.
I feel so much better about myself.

Umm... if you knew the snow was coming, why didn't you go over before it started? DUH!
