Aaaaaand we're getting even more snow! I don't know whether to be happy or depressed. I'm happy because it means I don't have to do anything, but depressed because, well, I hate snow. It's also a bit of a problem because I'm running out of groceries, but the roads are still so bad that I'm afraid to go out. But with even more snow coming, I think it's time I go before I end up with nothing but crackers for dinner. I've been there- it's not somewhere I really want to be. So while it's not so bad being inside all the time, the snow is starting to piss me off. I just want to be able to go home and rest, you know?
But enough about the snow- one thing that has started to irritate me to no end is the Megavideo time limit. 72 minutes of video before it shuts down? Oh please, I can watch way more than 72 minutes in one sitting. And while it's not particularly difficult to get around, I'd prefer not to unplug the router after my videos buffer, or yank my network adapter out of the USB port. And I'm not about to pay just so I can watch stupid videos without being interrupted. Please. This is the Internet. No one pays for anything, and I don't really appreciate having to wait to watch some freakin' Looney Tunes.

Snowpocalypse Now !
Only a few days after I wrote an entire post complaining about snow, we ended up with three feet of the white fluffy stuff. Not that I'm complaining, at least not yet- it means I don't have to do anything, and there's no work tomorrow. All I have to do is lie around, surf the Internet, watch some television (lately I've really been digging Spongebob Squarepants and Ellen DeGeneres), catch up on some reading, and snack on whatever suits my fancy. One problem with that? I have nothing to snack on since I haven't left the house in three days. I already ate all the Doritos and I'm running out of siopao dumplings.
Even so, it's not so bad. I'm falling back into the routine I used to follow when I was a hikkikomori- keep weird hours, not get dressed until late afternoon, walk about in a fuzzy blanket, do what I want when I want. I used to live that way when I was home for the summers, and those were some of the best times of my life. It might seem depressing to some, but honestly, I loved it. I would live that way now if I didn't have to work.
Outside all the neighbors are working to dig themselves out. Ha. Let them dig like little gophers all they want- it's just going to refreeze tonight. By biding my time I'm saving myself a lot of work in the long run.
Here's hoping I'll survive the rest of the Snowpocalypse!

Zetsubou the Snow Grinch
It might seem like a strange thing to hate, but I hate the snow. Snow means cold, which means Zetsubou gets sick. Which is what happened to me. I had to work today, so that meant I was holed up with my tea just counting down the hours until I could go home, put on my Snuggie and just rest. The worst part? Supposedly we're supposed to get more snow tonight. Bah.
I guess my dislike of snow started when I was a child. Where I grew up, snow wasn't magical. It hit the ground and then became dirty and disgusting. You touched that stuff and you'd be more than likely to start glowing in the dark. I liked it well enough when it got me out of school, but I never had fond memories of frolicking in the snow like a lot of people do.
Now it's just a nuisance. Driving around here in the snow generally means you have a death wish, since people see a snowflake and freak out. "OMGSNOW! EVERYONE PANIC!" And people suck at driving when they panic...
Maybe if I could have seen the snow the way most people do when they're children I wouldn't feel like this as an adult, but somehow I kind of doubt it. At the end of the day, the snow means the cold. And the cold means I get sick.
