I don't know if I'll ever get really used to it but while I was shoveling I had the thought of how sad it would be when this all goes away. I guess I rather like the cold and the white, somehow. I can't imagine why.
Other than that its been a blank day. Not in a bad way. Just spent waiting, listening to the iPod while I shoveled snow. Remembering how much I love music and regretting, only lightly, that my hands cramp up painfully doing the simplest tasks.
I got a chance to review things here and get paid for the reviews . . . I was right to be sceptical.
The offer was to review things like BlackJack sites, poker sites . . . the same ones, I presume, that spam me constantly. The offer was six bucks a review but I had to not just give an opinion but give the post a title, put in specified links.
I might not have much but what I've got is worth at more than six bucks. At least to me.
Now, I'm just waiting for the Super Bowl. here's still not much hype about it. The biggest thing was that the Universal TV site is going to show all the Super Bowl commercials on the internet after the game . . . Rah! Commercials . . .
The other news on the game, in that vein, is that Toshiba has paid 2.7 million to air a spot promoting HDDVD. In the shortest format war to my memory, HDDVD has lost out pretty big to Sony's Blue Ray so that seems rather like throwing good money away. In this case it smells like repromoting 8 Track tapes.
That's really all there is.
My friend is back from her "training" for her new job. For good. At least as long as for good can ever mean.
We had Mexican food tonight.
Click images for desktop size: "Untitled" by Abraxis It wasn't terrible. It was southern Mexican which isn't my favorite. I liked the restaurant. They made it up special so maybe I'm to blame for not being more specific.
The owner was a pudgy woman who seemed really eager for us to be happy with her. She commented it was lonely in there tonight with the terrible snow.
She was also impressed witht he fact that I at least understood "menu spanish" and could ask about chile verde and salsa fresca. She must feel like she's a long way from home.
My puppy is now officially a snow dog. I like that she is happy. I like that she likes to romp in the drifts and face sternly into the whipping winds. I can't imagine what little fantasy is in her head. Its ok. She deserves her own private world.
