HAY I STILL HAVE POWER YAY.

Also, thank god I broke the snow free from my door last night around ten, when I had FOUR INCHES of blown snow up against it; I would not have gotten out the door this morning if I hadn't. I almost didn't anyway! See, I have the ONLY screen door in this building because I have the only exposed door in the complex, so the door opens in but the screen door doesn't.

Today is going to be a good day, if I can get to a mailbox. Note on Christmas cards - I haven't gotten to a mailbox in WEEKS and my car is STILL not going to be moving, I'm hoping that it warms up enough Tuesday that I can move it to the street in front of my building, because otherwise, I can't go anywhere in it.

And I'm getting worried about money and paying rent for January. FOOLISH YET THAT IS HOW IT IS.

Okay, so I was tagged by jkivela, who cleverly flattered me in the same breath, so I'll do the meme. Flattery will get you everywhere; philately will merely force the USPS to haul you around.

For eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day.

Okay, huh. It's been kind of a not-good not-bad day, really, and mainly that's all because of YAY MORE SNOW. Also, we have been upgraded from 2" new snow expected to another winter storm warning with 3"-8" expected. But there've been some positive things. I think.

Number one with a bullet is that I haven't lost power (knock on wood, I won't tonight, either.)

Two would have to be that I annoyed graeae with sparkle text. Because she deserves it. At least I didn't use the dancing-dick sparkle background.

But! The main thing that is making me happy (other than that people with studded snow tires came up and hauled me out of my apartment and took me to lunch a whole two miles away) is that I have rediscovered Almost Live. That used to be Seattle's version of SNL, and it was pretty damn funny (though I will note that if you watch COPS in Ballard, COPS in Kent, and COPS in Wallingford sequentially, you totally see the pattern of the skit) and, most importantly, never ever gave me the Motts, which SNL does all the time.

And it turns out that a lot of it is on YouTube, which I find AWESOME. It's sort of weird (since I never see anything on TV anyway) to see skits that I remember from watching the show.

Side note: this is the show that confused the hell out of me about when SNL starts. It showed at 11:30 on Saturdays, bumping SNL to midnight, so when SNL started airing at 11:30 this year, I had a mini meltdown, because I knew I was right that it started at midnight because I stayed up to watch SNL and Headbanger's Ball and they were on at the same time.

Today, I realised that I really was right and everyone else was wrong. SNL used to start at midnight. Fuckers, doubting me.

These may be too PNW-mocking to make sense, but let's find out.

Ballard Driving Academy.
Lynnwood Beauty Academy.
The Streetwalking Lawyers of Aurora Avenue.
COPS in Kent.

And on a down note (and one that I, as a native Seattlite, proud child of blue-collar parents) find hits a little too close to home: Seattle Is A-Changing.

God I miss this show.
