Blurred Line

It's officially winter. A huge dump of snow today -- about 20 cm which, if I'm not mistaken, comes out to 9 inches. As is usual when the first big snowfall happens, the plows aren't on it immediately. They've plowed a few main roads in town, but for the most part they're holding off until 1 AM (the plows here run overnight until seven in the morning). So, it makes for some exciting driving. The drives to and from work were long, but rather uneventful. The trek to my girlfriend's place, which usually takes about 10 minutes, was a long and epic journey. I saw two cars spin out (one, right in front of me, executed a perfect 180). At one point I changed lanes involuntarily (the other lane, thankfully, was empty). And I spent more time fishtailing than a 16 year old redneck who's just found a monster truck and a giant mud puddle. Now I'm waiting for her apartment's personal plowman to come clear her parking lot so I can avoid getting a ticket for parking on the streets. Yay for winter!

Keyword of the day: Without hesitation, "my girlfriend made me watch the boys and girl from county clare". Because, I mean, who searches for that? At some point or another we've all been curious about a number of ridiculous things on the internet, but searching for other people who were forced to watch date movies? Not so much. Anyhow, I watched The Boys and Girl from County Clare completely of my own volition. It wasn't a bad little flick, either. And if you're into traditional Irish music, it'd be kickass.
