Blizzard

I froze my ass off during the storm.  Walking around DC was like being in Vt. a freezing cold wind that turned everything i wore into ice.  It was awesome.  I need goggles.

I walked to Starbucks and I got my totally awesome ginger bread, caramel, sugar cookie frappa-latte, quadruple shot, with X-mas whip cream, blended with chai venti drink.  I was waiting for my drink when the manager said, "We are closing in 5 minutes."  It was noon and every refugee from the neighborhood was there.

As i continued my arctic tour, I couldn't get the scene from Empire where Luke is screaming for Ben Kenobi and Han Solo comes riding up.  While Luke was stumbling through the freezing cold blizzard i bet his gear was super warm.  I wish Patagonia would recreate a whole Hoth line of winter clothes.  The rebel artic gear is cool.  Especially versus the Empire's winter gear the fraking storm troopers looked like they had dresses on with a bald helmet.

I kept walking around and we had to get pictures of the Cathedral in the snow...my racist though of the day...if things look better covered in white beautiful snow what kind of message does that send?!?!?!?  Snow should be black because black is cool and awesome.  Why is Christmas better because it is a White Christmas.    Wow that was a dumb line of thinking...sorry for taking those 30 seconds from your life...

I ate too many brownies and milk, i made pasta with sausage, i made fake chicken katsu, i had a fried egg and rice...but it wasn't runny enough...  but none of those really fulfilled the perfect snow storm food.  I guess some kind of soup but that is more of a mechanism to warm the body.  I should have made meatloaf.

Man that sounds like fun. That's the only thing that sucks about the burbs, everything is pretty spread out. I love winter wonderland time.
