so we got a lot of snow. big surprise, and i'm actually not being sarcastic. i got up at the usual time, saw the roads weren't even plowed and went back to bed. got up again around 8 to see if anyone was in the office, and left a message for my co-workers that i'd be in later when and if driving conditions were better. i returned to bed and slept until noon. got up, saw the roads were more or less clear, got ready and shoveled the driveway. i'm really sore now, but at least it was kind of like exercising. ideally, i'd have just stayed in all day, but there are too many things going on at work to not come in for a few hours.

i remembered my radiohead CDs today. i'm listening to amnesiac for probably the first time in well over a year. it's weird. it's bringing back some really unpleasant memories, but hopefully i'll be able to disassociate them from this album sooner or later, because amnesiac is spectacular. especially one song in particular, which i always used to think was rather abstract. but that was before i discovered the trapdoor.

there are barn doors
and there are revolving doors
doors in the rudders of big ships
and there are revolving doors
there are doors that open by themselves
there are sliding doors
and there are secret doors
there are doors that lock
and doors that don't
there are doors that let you in and out
but never open
and there are trapdoors
that you can't come back from

quote of the day: "i don't know. who do i look like? the newly-svelte al roker?" dimitrios, when i asked how the weather in new york is.
