Bare with me (or bear, whichever you prefer), this is my first entry I've ever made without having a topic in mind beforehand. I'm just going to meander my way through this. Feel free to come along.
A couple things spring to mind. 1) Who puts a stupid blizzard in Minnesota right before finals week? and 2) Haven't they figured out Christmas lights YET? Hmm, I seem to be feeling very passionate about that at the moment; let's go with that.
You would think that with all the technology we've come up with (I'm not going to list any examples, because honestly I'm not all that up to date with my technology, although I do recall seeing a commercial for a car that could parallel park itself awhile back) that they...'they' being the Official Christmas Light ... Committee (yeah!) would figure out how the dickens to get Christmas lights to actually work for more than one holiday. Every year, I take out tangles of lights and plug them in, only to find that half of the white ones, two danglies on the dangly ones, and the ugly green ones are the only ones that work. Then I set up the ugly green ones, smile with satisfaction, and them promptly kill the Christmas spirit in my house by accidentally slamming the cord in the sliding glass door. Do they have high tech Christmas lights that still work after one of the little bulbs breaks? Because it's sounds really freaking simple to me, yet I'm never seen it. (curious...I've just accidentally types 'smiple' and spell check hasn't said a peep about it.) Anyway- the end of the story is that the Christmas Spirit is dead in my house.
I really don't feel like talking about the blizzard anymore. Except maybe, to say that the Weather Channel is here in Fargo. I found it slightly amusing that our regular reporter is literally wearing a ski mask, goggles, and a furry Elmer Fudd-like hat, urging all Minnesotans and North Dakotans (I'm not quite sure what they'd like to be called...maybe North Dakotians?) to "repeat, STAY INSIDE" one minute and then telling us exactly where the Weather Channel folks are reporting live so we can come and meet our favorite reporters the next, then showing images of a few idiots trekking through the blizzard to come meet the WC crew. (see, I cal them that because I'm not impressed by them. Too cool for school, this one)
Ack. This diversion sucked. Back to my report on Degas and my brainstorming on my self-portrait which I don'tdon'tdon'tdon'tdon't want to DO!
