suffer the little snowflakes to come unto me, and i'll do all i can to hinder them

started the day by standing knee high in snow to scoop my car out thanks to the snow plows. more than eight inches of snow in a drop is about seven too many for my taste. i've said it before and i shall say it now, this winter drama is driving me out of chicago. i despised last winter and am not very happy with what we've received thus far this time around. why chicago gots to be all cold and unruly? there's so much to love about this city, but december, january, february (oh dear lord, february!) and march ain't it. i need some warm winds to melt this mess straightaway.

this has been quite the busy day. booked a show, lost a show and handled a school's complaint of an extra $11.80 that one of our hypnotists spent on food above and beyond what they'd budgetted. didn't matter that the error was *their's*. chatted with YangBoss about the future of our agency and felt good knowing i would be here. especially since i've never planned for much of a future at any job, evah.

been digging through my old paper and pen journals, starting at the beginning of my writings in may 2001 and have found some gems of quotes that i saved for posterity. i'll periodically include them here for my own amusement.

today's quote, from 6.29.01 while i was visiting my family in corvallis, oregon.

"that seems like something mom would cherish. not like a hot lunch, though."
--- my cousin SlowDrawl, referencing crushed black pepper

i shall dream of dry sidewalks tonight. after i find a pair of ugg knock-offs.
