• I watched City of Angels today. I've seen it before, more than once, but only today did I realize that the baby she diagnosed by intuition had pulmonary atresia. That's a movie I love, one that has always made me cry - but dear god I love the ending.
• I've never watched a whole episode of Gray's Anatomy. Somehow it caught my attention tonight, and I watched it beginning to end. Is it always as good as it was tonight? I really enjoyed it. But now I have to watch it next week.
• The Steelers won? What a load of shit.
• I have a poem stuck in my craw and can't quite cough it up. I can tell you that it's very influenced by Tom Robbins' style. Very. And yes Erin, I am loving every word of "Another Roadside Attraction" but you want to hear something very sad and very indicative of my editorial psychoses? There are typos on pages 29 and 52 - and there's another too, but I can't remember what page it's on. Yup. OCD. That's me.
• They're calling for snow tomorrow. We probably won't get anything. The newscasters always overreact. However, this means that tomorrow, when I do grocery shopping, there will be only empty shelving where I would normally find the bread and the milk. It's a fact of life down here - people here can't drive in it. No, it isn't redneck stupidity, it's a simple lack of experience. The resulting mass hysteria is mildly amusing though, to be honest. All it takes is the mere mention of a possibility of flurries (which is what they say we might get) to freak out an entire geographical area. Right now, thousands of southern piedmont Carolinians are panicking, and more than likely, it will be for no reason whatsoever.
• I volunteered to host the Tarheel Tavern the last weekend in February. I need to decide what I'm going to do, whether I'm going to announce a theme or make it a free for all. Anyone have any good suggestions for a theme?
