I had a rough night. I dreamt something terrible, but I don’t remember what. When I awoke finally in the morning, I turned on my radio to weather band and found out 3.2 inches (8.1 cm) of snow had fallen. Not exactly a lot. Compared to the foot (30 cm) or so New York City got. But it’s enough to keep me busy shoveling it.
\nYesterday our “Box” TV station was replaced with “MTV2.” I must say I’m impressed. Hey, I just saw “Warning” by Green Day. That’s pretty cool. Strange mix. Right after “Warning” they are playing a Beetles song. That’s so much better than “The Box,” which only played new stuff. All day. And then people would only buy the same two or three videos! The only problem is that my Time Warner Cable only left “The Box” on until 9 p.m., after which they’d put some pay-per-view channel on. I hope they don’t do this with “MTV2”. I will have to check that tonight.
\nMy New Year’s party consists of my family and our neighbors this year. It’s not so bad. I like stuff like that. I mean I don’t mind being in the “War Zone” in Vienna, Austria where everybody’s shooting rockets and you’re always prepared to get hit. That’s where I celebrated the special night the past three years. It’s nice to have a calmer celebration as well.
\nWell, I’ll get going, shoveling now. I’ll take a picture or two to show you how it looks here. Until then, have a wonderful day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
