Wanted: gopher wood.

[ellid]

Given that we got 18" of snow yesterday and today, and should have another half foot arrive tomorrow, it's probably time for me to start building a giant wooden snowmobile in the back yard.

Seriously. We had to shovel the deck today because there was so much snow on, and when I was clearing off Sapphy there was so much ice on her windshield wipers that I nearly snapped one in half trying to clean. And it snowed continuously from 1:00 p.m. yesterday until I got home from the movies at 8:00, and for all I know it is still snowing.

ARGH.

As for the movie...Mistress C and I went to see Milk at the Pleasant Street Theater. It was very, very well done, with all the correct 1970's details (including the horrible hairstyles and earth toned everything), and Sean Penn (Harvey Milk), Josh Brolin (Dan White), Emile Hirsch (Cleve Jones), and James Franco (Scott Smith) were perfectly cast. Penn and Brolin deserve every nomination they get or will get for this one, and Gus Van Sant did an excellent job of recreating the 1970s.

18"?

That's how much was on my deck this afternoon. Then again, Easthampton has a weird little microclimate that has nothing to do with what's going on in Northampton, Holyoke, or any of the surrounding towns.
