It's astounding how the stupidity rises dramatically when there is white stuff in the air :P
Fortunately, I was spared the worst of it: I've been taking a class downtown for the past 2 days so I've been using the subway.
The class was on web analytics. I find this seemingly "dry" topic quietly involving, as I'm finally learning how all those numbers can be used to represent activity by actual people. Faster connections, more/better gadgets and shiny things are fine and dandy, but it's the human use of the internet that still fascinates me, all these years after my first Prodigy(!) account when I learned what a fantastic collaborative and social tool it is :)
Boyshorts are perhaps the comfiest, pretties panties ever (at least for me). However, I could stand a bra of last resort if I plan to keep doing this "jumping footwork" warmup.
I've made surprising headway on holiday shopping.

And collaboration - how did people throw (and attend!) raves without it? How else to best coordinate the talent, space and attendees with the least effort and have all the correspondence filed tidily away in one place....
You were the one who first recommended the Enell bra to me, but until recently I didn't really consider that I might need it because I wasn't doing anything that created significant jolting. Now...well, I'm thinkin' about it!
