Commas and ampersands!

It's snowing. Really, deeply snowing. It started just after I left the gym a little before noon, tiny specks, and by the time I'd walked two blocks to the house it was unmistakably coming down, and now it's big, fluffy flakes that are collecting on everything and I've got all three window blinds pulled up high and I'm grinning like a loon. And I know everyone said a storm was coming and I know NOAA said there was a hundred-percent chance of snow, and it's still amazing.

Last night I managed to get to Panera after class with someone from a group project, and we spent a good chunk of time eating sandwiches and talking about television. She's a fan of a lot of the same stuff that I watch, and we had some good conversation. We're meeting again tomorrow to go downtown for some research for the project itself, but there's likely to be more good talking then, too.

And I just finished the rough draft of my house_bigbang story, at a smidge over 35,000 words. Once I pick out a section for the summary, I'll send it to the moderators. As they say in cowboy movies, "Yeeha."

In fact, double yeeha.

Vid pimp!

In the first help_haiti auction I bid on obsessive24 for a Firefly vid, and People Got A Lotta Nerve is the result. An exploration of River and the Reavers, and the Alliance and Blue Sun, done to a stunning song by Neko Case.

Go and watch - you'll be happy you did.
