We were nice and cozy. I made a big pot of chili and watched the snow blow sideways. The cat's fascination with the blowing snow was also entertaining.

And yeah, I'm annoyed about the DVDs. It wasn't Amazon, though, because I looked through my past orders and I didn't buy them off Amazon. I think it might have been Bull Moose Music that forgot to put the discs in the case when I bought it. Either way, lesson learned to always inspect the goods immediately after buying.

Thanks!

I spent the morning tunnelling out to my car. Still trying to find the compost pile in the field...

Nope, still going. But it looks like it might be winding down. It's really not the huge deal the media has made it out to be. Fewer than 400 homes without power across the whole state, which is nothing compared to most regular snow storms. I just hung out at home, made a huge pot of chili, and invited my friend Michael (who lives next door) over to play some games.

Thanks, Chris! I want that Badass designation so bad I can taste it! Oh, wait, maybe that's just the hot cocoa I taste...

And there's a link to photos from the finish of the race in my most recent blog post, if you're interested.

I did play the first Xillia. Really enjoyed it, played as Jude.

Hard to tell how much we've got, it's drifting like crazy with the high winds. And yes, still snowing. Supposed to go on all day and maybe as late as midnight. It started a lot later than I thought it was going to - still nothing when I went to bed at 2:00 this morning (I stayed up waiting for it and finally had to give up and go to bed).

Peter, you have to ignore the media hysteria. It's just another Maine snow storm. We get a couple like this every year. And it's a "cottage in the field". Heck, the power hasn't even flickered and I'm actually thinking about strapping on my retro snowshoes and taking a jaunt around the neighborhood later. I love snow storms!

It's Sunday, Cary. I think kickoff is 6:30 Eastern time.

I'm actually planning on trying for at least a walk in it, but only if the winds die down. We're having 60+ mile an hour winds at the moment, and the woods get a little dangerous then. But we'll have around two feet to play in when it's all over .

I noticed. That's how I knew you must have watched it.
