bloody 'ell....

Saturday was when I was gonna do my last blitz of Christmas shopping and we get snow. I measured 16" in front of my home. And we're gonna get more for Christmas. As such, there will be a lot of shovelling in my near future.

But! I have one of these. It lives up to the hype. It's best for regular snow; but I wouldn't use it for chopping ice that's stuck to the ground, so a conventional steel shovel is better for that. With both, I'm unstoppable!

So, I've wisely used the snow day for things like watching anime, including a couple episodes of the original Yatterman from the '70s. Old-school low-budget cheese, and it's awesome. Now they made a live-action movie that came out earlier this year, which is just as cheesy and awesome and has a few "now I've seen everything" moments. If you only need one reason, and it's not hard to find one, I would say Doronjo would be enough to qualify.

Let's see, also some 11Eyes, Railgun, Trapeze, Sunred, and of course Umineko. And more.

In lieu of mixing rum with egg nog, peppermint schnapps works as well.

At least I was able to get out and finish my shopping today.
