"Greasy snow"? Gross.
NWS now says "bands of light-accumulating greasy snow are anticipated Tue night into early Wed AM in CT, eastern MA and RI." Greasy snow is the worst! OK, maybe not the worst, but, gives us the ick.

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

One of the fun things about ordering pizza online is that you occasionally find the place that only has one size they don't specify, and you wind up ordering a 20" pizza for what you'd expect to pay for a 12" pizza.

Something clicked in my head the last time I saw SUNSHINE, in that it was the last biggish space movie before the release of the iPhone. It's really fun to watch people parse this when you say it.
Sci fi directors: stop making clean, polished space ships. This shit should look like you WILL accidentally catch and yank some important cords at least a few times every day.

Pretty okay even if it kind of stretches to build a story between the eye-popping bits of animation.
