Friends,
The first snowfall of the season here in America’s Cleanest and Bestest Forest started yesterday and here I am stuck without a Jeep. Okay, to be fair, the Mighty Jeepster is up and running, but not the best mode of safe transportation with its sternum-stabbing steering column, metal dashboard and crusty lap belts. It’s great for around town chores, but I rely on the Grand Livingroom to get to and from work when the weather trends towards ice and slush. Call me old fashioned.
Because I live in a town that runs at a slower pace (which is, incidentally, why we have Daylight Saving Time—so that we can finally catch up) and I need a special tool to fix my all-wheel drive Barcalounger that will surely maybe arrive Monday or thereabouts, I have had the opportunity to look at some internets.
So let’s see what’s on Metafilter. A link to Craig Ferguson’s Halloween show? With Neil Gaiman? I’m in. Particularly since their interview touches on the Doctor’s Wife episode of Doctor Who. He was even in a musical number at the end of the show.
But who is Amanda Palmer? Well, she’s a singer, used to be is currently in the Dresden Dolls, married to Neil Gaiman (interesting couple), and is also a noted pescatarian.
Which reminds me, I should go to the market and get something for dinner.
