srsly, nature?

is another 1-3 feet of snow really necessary this week? the rain is already flooding the streets because it's melting the other 3 feet we had on the ground... i'd say this was very poor planning on your part, perhaps you should hold off and space your storms out a bit better in the future.

jack managed to finagle his neighbor with a big van to drive jack's snowblower all the way here (40 minutes away). his neighbor is such a saint. looking forward to having some machinery help with this next storm... much, much better than shoveling for a couple of hours. (although i did really enjoy the exercise.)

i have plenty to keep me busy tonight -- laundry (lovely pumpkin peed on the bed, i guess she got tired of the front entrance), making a customer hoop, and we'll see if i can stay awake for "lost".

BTW -- did anyone else see the russian ice dancing team's "aboriginal folk dance" routine the other night? were you as horrified as i was? i'm all for pushing boundaries, but i don't think yanking a woman around the ice by her hair while making faces is very culturally sensitive. according to the news, it was originally worse -- their original costumes were made of brown mesh to make them look black. my mind is officially boggled.

I did see the Russian ice dancing. Just before that there was a British brother/sister couple that were in "county wear" that was extremely trashy and by the end of their dance they were on top of one another. That was uncomfortable, until I saw the Russian's 'aboriginal folk dance'. I can't believe what high scores they received! It was horrible and terribly insulting. I was about to turn the channel when one of the US teams came on and did an Indian ice dance. It was amazing! Their costumes were spot on and they really looked like they were doing traditional Indian dancing ON ICE. I was really impressed with them! Glad they were representing the US and took home a medal!
