It's wicked windy out here guy

Things I must do that I really don't want to do: straddle my cat to shove an allergy pill down his throat. I tell him it's for his own good so he'll stop scratching his ears but he just looks at me like "WHY?" I found that if I do it before I feed him he's more distracted and the ordeal goes more smoothly.

We've been hit with a fall Nor'easter here in Boston for the past two days. Wait maybe I should make this sound more dire. We're being pounded by a fierce Nor'easter! I wish it was cold enough that it was snow and not rain because then I might have been able to stay home. Instead I got blasted in the face by wind and rain to and from work. Umbrellas are often useless in the city because the buildings create wind tunnels and your umbrella turns inside out. I've passed many umbrella corpses left on the sidewalk.

Derek and I watched a movie on Netflix tonight called Stake Land. It wasn't too bad and it had the younger sister (Danielle Harris) from Wish Upon a Star in it. 


I miss 90s era Disney Channel movies. Apparently Danielle does mostly horror movies now. I'm glad she's still acting, I like her. Stake Land had a horrible ending though. It wasn't really an ending, which to me is the worst kind of ending.

Tomorrow is Friday and this Nor'easter should be outta here. Here's to not looking like a soggy mess every day.

  1. And no matter which direction you walk or side of the road you are on, the wind and rain is never at your back. We have that same tunnel thing in NYC.

    1. Yep, it's horrible. Umbrellas are almost useless

  2. I don't like wind. I despise fierce wind. But I've never had an umbrella turned inside out, I guess I'm lucky that way.

    We've had Stake Land in our Netflix queue for a while. Now I'm not sure if I want to skip that horrible ending.

    1. I think it's still worth a watch. It felt like the movie just stopped, like there should have been more.

  3. I like Danielle Harris too. I liked her guest appearance on Boy Meets World and Wish Upon a Star was one of my faves in the day.

    At the time, I really liked Katherine Heigl's character but looking back I think it was just because I was jealous of her clothes..
