Wishin' and Hopin'
... for a snow day.
The forecast predicts "around 12 inches" of snow for the metro area here in this fine city. That would be great... then school could be cancelled and I could read two chapters of Survey Methodology! (YES!)
Dinner tonight with NS. I look forward to discussing theses, RA work, why Texas is confused on Super Tuesday, and all other things sociological... along with good food of course.
I finished watching Band of Brothers and all the included extras. It's SO amazing! There's a documentary on the extras disk that is basically one big interview of the remaining men of Easy Company who fought in WWII starting on D-Day an ending at Hitler's Eagle's Nest when the war finally came to a close. Very powerful.
Once again, I highly recommend this series (a warning: there are 10 episodes plus extras, so you'll need some time to watch it all - or you could just procrastinate on all your other work and watch the entire thing in three days like I did).
To finish off this post on a happy note... please check out you tube links for the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Superbowl Half-time show in all its glitter and glory.
I'm convinced that the epic performance generated so much happy energy that it helped the Giants defeat Goliath (also known as the Patriots led by evil robot Tom Brady).
PS - Heartbreakers summer tour tickets ON SALE NOW!!!
PSS - Bonnaroo line up will apparently be announced at midnight. Here's hoping for some good headliners.
