Yarr! The ice-storm hath blown us over, it has. I don’t clearly remember a more odd winter storm than what we had here this weekend. It was raining, and turning to ice on the ground, and then eventually turned into snow. This formed a snow-looking sheet of ice over streets, houses, lawns, and cars. I had the pleasure of driving in it a couple of times (mainly to fetch my step-sister Kristin (whose name isn’t hyperlinked because, to my knowledge, she has no website. kids these days! In my day, we had websites!)), and it really wasn’t all that bad, if you didn’t drive like an ass.

Funniest weather-related moment for me, so far this weekend — having to trek across Showcase Stonybrook’s parking lot back to the car after the showing of Daredevil in a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor’s after the parking lot had COMPLETELY frozen into a sheet of ice. Shuffle-shuffle slip! Shuffle-shuffle slip! Grab stop sign! Hop from grassy median to median! I consider myself pretty sturdy, and I was slipping everywhichwaybutloose.

The winter isn’t over yet. February is always harsh around here. I cant’ wait for the The Black Keys/Sleater-Kinney show at the Southgate House on Friday! The Hump and The Hot Rock together….
