Concerning Cold and Offices

January 30, 2008 2:46 AM

hen most people hear that a day is going to go from being relatively nice to damn near arctic--complete with sub-freezing temperatures, blowing snow, and zero visibility--in the course of a few hours, they probably decide to go about their absolutely necessary business and then shut themselves in their warm homes for the duration. But not Mr. Vice and I. No, we say "Fuck conventional wisdom. You say there's going to be almost no visibility, icy roads, and gale-force winds. We're not scared. And to prove it, we're going to hitch a trailer to the seXterra and drive all over Southern Wisconsin." So that's what we did--just to prove to Mother Nature that we aren't going to give up like a bunch of Frenchmen just because it's cold and dangerous.

But aside from that, there are two points to this post. First, winter, which many had thought had been beaten into submission by warmth and sunlight, has made a spectacular return--the temperature outside is currently eight below zero. According to weather.com, it feels like thirty-two below. That's fucking cold.

The other point is that Mr. Vice and I now officially have an office. We even have desks. No chairs yet. Just desks. And a really huge office. And desks. Without chairs. We're taking it one step at a time.

In any event, stay warm. Or, if you're somewhere where it is warm, fuck you.

I guess it's just because this is your blog, but for some reason I thought this post was called "Concerning Cold and Orifices."

You know, when the page loaded right now, I caught a glimpse of this post's title and I thought "Did I really post something called 'Concerning Cold and Orifices'?"

Oh, man. Thailand was awesome! Warm sand, warm water, warm warm warm warm WARM. Now we're back in Taiwan and the cold is freezing all of our orifices. I miss Thailand.
