Stupid snow.
It’s not even gonna snow, is it?

Huh??????
I’ve got 3 inches on the ground, and 8 more expected.
Seriously, you don’t have ANY snow????

And if it's any consolation
It’s snowing its ass off in Salisbury right now. It’s coming in sideways.

If there is no snow today
I’m gonna be annoyed. Not because I WANT snow, just because there has been some snow drama that will all have been for naught if it doesn’t happen, PLUS I got all geared up for some baking. And drinking. Drinking in the middle of the day in a house by myself doesn’t seem lame with it’s snowing. When it’s not? Kinda.

That's the gist of what I was implying, yes.
Thanks for spelling it out so I know you understand.

After all the shoveling I did in February, the Eastern Shore can keep all the snow forever.

Just started getting snow in NYC.
Supposed to get 12"-18" here. Of course I will be the only on to show up to work tomorrow because I live a five minute walk away and everyone else commutes.

I really hope the storm is done by tomorrow night
supposed to by flying out of JFK home to the UK :( The weather in the UK has just cleared enough in the UK to allow flights to resume, and now it’s started in the US!
I wouldn't count on making the flight.
My friend is supposed to fly back to LGA today but they already cancelled his flight. They are going to try and get all the people who missed their flights today on flights tomorrow.

AB seasons
some of the toughest levels ever. I only get one star on many of them. I went away for the weekend, so I’m only up to 12/19 or so.

Really?
I thought it was WAY easier than regular, especially after I started cheating and checking YouTube for walk-thrus. But I only needed to do that for half of them.
"It has nothing to do with corruption. It's sheer, complete, total incompetence." - Joe Rogan
well, i haven't looked at any walk-thrus.
maybe that’s part of it.
the last couple i did—12/17, 12/18 etc—were crazy hard.

I try as hard as I can to resist looking at the walk thru's
but I always end up looking when I’m stumped. It’s like cheating on a crossword puzzle, it makes me feel guilty

I have to agree. The physics are different w/ the snow.
I’ve managed 2 3-star levels out of the 1st 6 so far, but it’s def. tougher than the original.

Yeah, I really tried that one morning after way too much drinking.

It actually at least masked the taste a bit when it came back up.

They aren't concerned about the players,
they’re worried about the fans getting to and from the game. The city asked the NFL to postpone the game.
still lame.

Just benched Brandon Llyod for Joe Web instead of Andre Johnson, I better not lose because of this.
Bring back Luis Matos.
by WestcoastO'sFan on Dec 26, 2010 4:12 PM EST reply actions
By this i mean
I left Andre Johnson in the lineup (who is out w/ an ankle injury) and took out Lyod who is fine and put in Joe Web.
Bring back Luis Matos.
by WestcoastO'sFan on Dec 26, 2010 4:16 PM EST up reply actions
I would imagine Favre will end up playing...
due to the fact that his ego has the density of a dying star. But Llyod ain’t no great shakes either with Tebow under center.
Are you in a Yahoo league where Webb has the QB/WR designation? I’m the commish of my yahoo league and after a league vote, we decided not to allow Webb be used as a receiver.

I've got Webb at WR
But I’m getting killed so it doesn’t matter. After a fantastic draft and a 12-2 season I’m gonna lose because of Danny Woodhead, Josh Freeman and a bunch of other scrubs. Not happy.

So, NFC playoff scenarios.......
Philly, Chicago, Atlanta, and some shitty NFC West team will win the divisions.
Assuming they win one of their final two games (not a lock), New Orleans is WC#1.
Green Bay would get WC #2 by winning next weekend.
For the Giants to go, they’d have to beat the Redskins no matter what. They’d also have to have Green Bay lose. And even if they win, and Green Bay loses, Tampa Bay might still get in ahead of the Giants if they beat New Orleans next weekend. The TB/NYG tiebreaker at 10-6 each would come down to “strength of victory”, which is the winning percentage of the opponents each one beat. And I am way too lazy to look that up right now.

Starting rotation
Doing a project where I need to know the Orioles likely starting rotation if the season were to start today. Order is not all that important, just the five who would be slated to start the season in the rotation. ESPN depth charts are showing…
Guthrie, Matusz, Tillman, VandenHurk, Arrieta
is that accurate?
Going on hour 24 of snow removal.
For some reason I can’t fall asleep in this sketchy ass park and ride. More coffee instead, I guess. I love money, but I’m ready to go home now.
