Homebound

Where was I?

Right, neck deep in winter-break depression. My days consist of endless Star Trek re-runs broken up with some Fillmore! with a touch of Mucha Lucha in there for variety. Man, do those two cartoons kick ass.

Fillmore is this great cartoon homage to oldskool cop dramas. Complete with cheesy trumpet theme music. Man, I really should have had the TiVo stockpile some episodes while we were going for Christmas. Alas...I'll just have to live with my one episode per day. Why, oh why can't it be on as often as ST: TNG/DS9 and Mucha Lucha? Seriously, yo?

Nena can't really believe that I'm getting that into DS9 since neither of us really cared much for it during its original run. I can't speak for her but I tried to watch the first season, but it just didn't do anything for me. However, watching all these episodes from season 4 on the TiVo, I'm starting to reconsider my original analysis. This whole Dominion War thing is kinda growing on me. I think I'll read up on it this weekend. . .maybe.

Right ... enough dorkiness. We had an ice storm here earlier this week. It was pretty intense, yo. Every elementary and secondary school in the region shut down on Wednesday and most of them (including Lawrence) were closed on Thursday. Nena's school, however, didn't close.

She worked from home on Wednesday, venturing that the 30 minute drive to work was probably more dangerous than it was worth. A few days later, with all the evidence in- yeah, it was totally too dangerous. Dag, yo. When Northeast Kansas decides to freeze over, it really decides to freeze over. Seriously, though- if I have to watch any more team coverage of this storm I'm going to have to hurt someone.

What else? Oh, yeah...football playoffs start tomorrow. Hrmmm, I'm gonna have to get my picks together right quick. Check back in a few for that. :)
