Monday
After a particularly slow “trying to wake up” phase, I got ready to face the day. Work wasn’t too bad. Actually, it wasn’t bad at all (I know that this is setting me up to go in tomorrow and find out just how bad it was, but I’ll deal with that if and when it comes up).

Stray Toasters

  • It’s snowing now. There’s something about the silence that blankets a city when it snows. That same sound in the country… almost eerie. But to have the urban sounds muted and muffled the way that they are after a new-fallen snow settles in… I can’t describe it adequately, but it’s rather cool.
  • Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden. Damned tasty.
  • Interesting Tuvok and Neelix episode on Voyager tonight. I know that many people have said that Voyager has copped a storyline (or twenty) from the other ST series and that may be true. I have to admit that tonight’s episode reminded me of the way that Spock and McCoy got along on ST:TOS
  • Johnny Cash on MTV2. Who would have expected this?! The years are showing, but he’s still the original Man in Black.
  • I was just about to close out the ‘Toasters when something came on the TV that I found interesting. A commercial for Victoria’s Secret: Angels in Venice was starting (it ran for three – five seconds) when it suddenly switched to a commercial for The Today Show. I don’t know for a fact whether it was due to the fact that the local NBC affiliate is owned by the predominant religious body in this state (the LDS Church), but I’d hedge towards that as a possible reason. After all, they did do this (Stray Toaster) last year.

And so, this entry ends. Now.

Namaste.
