This is it
Last day, guys. I successfully blogged every day for the month of November and don't you feel the better for it? I got some laments when I expressed happiness that this little experiment is now over, but I think the whole thing was good for getting me back in the blogging ways. I'm leaving tomorrow night for Atlantic City and will take it as an opportunity to go blog-free for a few days (although I'm not sure it counts if I'm just gathering material to post on another blog).
You guys are asking about the snow. The snow! I know Denver isn't the only place that got all this weather because I spent a good part of the past couple days canceling and rescheduling travel plans for people who were supposed to be flying all over the country. There is definitely something pretty about fresh snow, and standing in the middle of an empty parking lot at night after a few inches of it has fallen to the ground is really peaceful. Living in the city, I hadn't seen blankets of fresh snow stretching in a long time. It was nice. But of course the sun comes up and the cars come out and all the nice stuff turns to the same brown mess. And it's cold! Let me tell you that I got used to a car very quickly. Taking the bus in the snow is cold and messy and hard to go back to once you've experienced the luxury of driving yourself somewhere. Damn, we might have to buy two cars. Do all couples have two cars?
"The Office" better be glad it redeemed itself tonight with some Pam and Jim flirting because I've been furious at Jim this whole new season. As far as I can tell, he professed his love, Pam said she was getting married, DIDN'T get married because of said professed love, continued flirting with Jim...and then Jim promptly started dating new girl. What?? I understand the relationship is complicated and of course the series hinges on there always being this tension between them, but COME ON. If any guy did that to a girlfriend of mine I'd punch him in the groin.
The radiators in our place knock a lot. I know that has something to do with water trapped in pipes, but I'm not exactly sure how to cure the problem. I read that you can tilt the radiators to let water drain properly, but the radiators seem to be the non-tipping kind. Like stuck to the ground. Is that possible? Our landlords are all, "Oh old pipes always knock lalala," but we had radiator heat in our past two apartments with no trouble at all. And this knocking is loud. Like someone hitting a pot with a wooden spoon repeatedly at intervals throughout the night. Please, interwebs, help us.
Yeah, that whole Pam & Jim thing is getting weird, but in a good way. I was almost crying with laughter at Carell's "Prison Mike" routine last night.
The Pam and Jim thing is obviously in trouble because it's based on the crazy British concept that a show should only run as long as its central premise is still plausible. That's just not how we do things here in the USofA. Our shows have a constitutional duty to run as long as anyone in the world can still stand to watch them.
Did you know someone has made - Team Karen/Team Pam tee-shirts. HA. I am totally Team Pam, although they are making Karen really likeable. I wish Pam would stop wearing those cardigans...although it does give the less attractive hope that our Jim is out there. :) Speaking of Jim I was watching an old Without a Trace the other day and Jim was in it playing some tough guy with a neck tattoo...awesome.
Congrats on completing the challenge! I is proud of you! And it was a joy to come here every day. You impressed me!
I had that kind of knocking about in the middle of the night at my apartment on 5th. It really sucked and all we could do was sit through it. But at five in the morning, I would want to throw myself bodily out the window just to make it stop.
Sorry that's not useful. Just commiseration.
I am very jealous that you are experiencing snow.
You know, I didn't love the Prison Mike thing. It's kind of the same thing every week with Michael. But oh, do I love me some Jim. His big thing is: Pam rejected me twice. And of course, once Jim is single, Pam won't be, la la la.
Congrats on a month of blogging! Now you have time to google Radiator+"stop banging"
Have fun in Atlantic City! Win enough for a car! xx
