Fear and Loathing in Kansas City

I hate snow. Passionately, with the sort of spleen and that most people reserve for clowns, television evangelists, and brussels sprouts. So the drive in to work this morning was something less than strawberries and cream (I don't like peaches much either). I am fairly certain that Asmodeus (car of DOOM) was propelled between State Line and my office solely by the power of prayer. Praise songs are in order to several deities.

Adding to the fun of the morning, I saw a green Saturn stuck in a ditch on the way in, and thought it was kittenpants. Especially since when I got to work, ten million years later, she still wasn't in her office. I talked to her a few minutes ago though, and she's fine - it wasn't her. She apparently didn't go off the road until much later in the drive. But she drives a Saturn, which is fairly resilient, being made of Tupperware polymers and all.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that if it doesn't get markedly better between now and 5:30, I'm not going to be mentally able to get back in the car and drive home, so that will be fun, too.

Also, triadruid is a snow hero. He took the dog out *and* dug out all our cars this morning (in his santa hat, too). I think I need a hero song. I'll put that on today's list as well.

In other news, this is why I read Rob Brezny's astrology column:
"LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): After a study found that a majority of
heterosexual men dive into sexual intercourse without any
warm-up, Britain launched its first annual National Foreplay
Day last July. How about if we borrow this holiday for your use,
Leo? I'm not saying you've been remiss in your approach to
maximizing erotic pleasure, but there's always room for
improvement. Besides, from an astrological perspective this is a
favorable time to expand your mastery of the arts of love. In
fact, let's borrow another British holiday, National Orgasm Day.
I hereby proclaim this Universal Foreplay and Orgasm Week for
all Leos."
Now, that's something to celebrate.

For the Kansas City people

I recieved an invitation yesterday in the mail to go to a television preview/evaluation event on the 13th. Apparently this is some sort of marketing thing in which you watch some proposed new show and do focus-group stuff about it. Now, a) I will be out of town then, and b) I feel about television almost the same way I feel about snow. So I won't be going.

My question is, do any of you kids want my invites?
