| 23.1.18 10:36 |  | FURTHER ADVENTURES IN COMMUTING: Last night, the alley was NOT plowed. One of my neighbours told me she wasn't even gonna try to go out and she seemed way wiser than me, but I have this devotion to my job that I can't quite explain, so I did some more digging and miraculously made it over the bump in the alley, then did a lot of driving while praying that I wouldn't strand myself on any of the three unplowed streets between me and Franklin Ave SE, because dummy forgot to put a shovel in the passenger seat. I did have to do some back-and-forth on one of the turns but previous vehicles' tracks were generally enough to get me there after I disabled the ASR (which I'd sure wished I'd remembered to do when I was in the alley LAST night). Really happy to make it to the plowed streets AND the freeway, except when I'd hit 40 mph, when my snow-filled tires would start doing the scary chattering thing and I'd have to slow it back down. This wasn't a problem when I hit the 35W, where traffic had been cut to one lane due to - get this - a Metro bus facing the wrong way being pulled out of the median ditch. Somehow I was only 20 minutes late for this conference call which turns out to be just exciting enough for me to also type this while it's going on - ooh, maybe shouldn't admit that. Very hopeful our missing Mr. Plow shows his blade before I have to try to get back into the garage later. (Also that Minneapolis comes through my hood, because it's "even side of the street" plow day) | ||

| 22.1.18 17:54 | | Google thinks my 6.4 mile escape from Roseville - sorry, "commute" - will take ONLY 16 minutes. I'm betting the over (thinking 30) but would be delighted if they knew better than me this time... PLACE BETS NOW | ||

| 20.1.18 11:20 | | Late on a Friday night, the Timberwolves snuck in an email telling me my price to remain season ticket holder of the seat I've had for the past three seasons was increasing by - get this - 40%!, and I had until the end of the month to opt out before they started billing me at that rate. Maybe SOMEBODY is interested in paying that price, but even if I could afford it, there's no way I would. I'm pretty disgusted. I've been at the Target Center for what will have been nine seasons...most of them pretty dreadful as far as their record went...but I'm cancelling after this season. So they better win the championship this year, I guess? I'm out. | ||
| 20.1.18 02:10 |  | So apparently there was a shooting in the Hex parking lot? I had pretty good ear plugs in and MURF were really loud, so I totally missed it, but the cops were finishing up with the crime scene tape and evidence gathering as people started to leave at closing. (Naturally, I suspect Simon) | ||

Showtime is 9.30 but it's also a long ass drive from my house but I gotta see this movie sooner or later or I will miss it (the Blade Runner 2049 Blu-ray coming out Tuesday has taught me this) | ||

| 8.1.18 01:34 | | I've done the math - my last minute excursion down to the living room on Sunday meant my time spent in bed during this first week of 2018 has dropped from 80% to 78%! That's already way more time than I've felt like sacrificing to this crud, though, so I hope I start seeing your faces again in all the usual places, starting THIS week. | ||
| 7.1.18 05:27 | | In 1987, USA Network thought it'd be a good idea to produce a fourth season of "Airwolf" with none of the original cast, half of the budget, no new helicopter SFX shots, filmed in Canada. It was not successful. In 2018, instead of sleeping, I'm watching the El Rey network airing of episode 4x01, "Blackjack," where a helicopter containing a very unconvincing Ernest Borgnine double just "blew up" in an incident which also happened to place Very Special Guest Star Jan-Michael Vincent into a coma. Currently I am also feeling not successful. | ||

| 31.12.17 14:58 | | I forgot to talk about new music this year because almost all my "new" music was by old fogeys making triumphant returns with 2017 releases - Black Grape, Sparks, OMD, Depeche Mode, friggin' Blancmange get outta here - locally, I really liked The Awful Truth's release but they had an album release concert in January and then WE NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN. There was more Nightosaur. Allison got me into Austra and not as much into Xiu Xiu. Kat got me into The Contortionist and White Moth Black Butterfly. Kris introduced me into St. Vincent...alas, not literally. I've forgotten so much already, I'm sure - want to compile my list of concerts a la Danny but that may take longer than I would care to take. Anyway, new music didn't go anywhere, I'm happy to report. Still haven't really listened to Kraftwerk "in 3D" and don't know what I'm saving it for. Oh, yeah... that UNKLE album. | ||
