Five^h^h^h Four things make a post
1. I swear, I don't mean to go a week without writing anything after the posting marathon of November is over. And yet, somehow, it so often happens.
2. Last weekend was rather busy -- concert on Friday, dinner party on Saturday, shopping on Sunday. The plan for Sunday was to get a warmer coat for my East Coast Christmas trip, but I failed. But I did get socks, a couple of shirts, and a cute purse that was calling my name.
3. Speaking of coats, we have been smacked by the same cold snap that is holding the rest of the country hostage. To a less extreme degree, of course, but by our usual standards it's quite freezy -- literally, it's been below freezing overnight in some parts of the Bay Area, which is not typical, at all. I try not to complain online too much, because I know you would all make fun of me ;) but my fellow Californians can surely understand.
4. I've caught up on the most recent episode of Scandal. I don't know if I would have started watching this show if I'd known there would be this much graphic torture. :-\ But I'm well and truly sucked in to the larger story now, with all its twists and turns. I like the political stuff better than the intrigue stuff. I'm sad the Josie Marcus storyline is over -- she was a great character, and I love Lisa Kudrow. I hope James sticks to his guns and stays away from Cyrus. I'm resigned to the fact that Olivia/Fitz is the show's endgame (for all his issues, I think Jake is better for her), so let's at least have one person strong enough to walk away from an unhealthy, borderline-abusive relationship. Now I have to decide what to watch next. Nothing currently airing! I have more than enough shows to keep track of.
5. And now I can't really think of a number five. I should probably have done that "tell me what to write about" meme that was going around at the beginning of the month. Maybe in January.

3) This cold is for the birds. Seriously. Yesterday it was 18 degrees, with a wind chill down to the single digits. How... can you even function like that? And I can never seem to get warm, ever. Don't worry, I don't make fun of anyone's temps. If it's cold to you, it's cold to you. Got a girl I know from Sweden who makes it a point to tell me how much colder it is there, and it's downright annoying.
After all, you probably didn't hear about the fiasco about the earthquake we felt in Pittsburgh, yes? There were memes going around the internet that came from the west coast poking fun at us. Here's one: http://www.pittsburghlegalbacktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/virginiaQuake.jpg
5) I do this constantly. If you're looking for something to write anyway, I wouldn't mind hearing about your musical tastes, a bit more about the group you play in, what got you into music, and a number of other questions I'm sure I could come up with. You don't have to answer them of course, but I could give you some if you'd like.
