The New York Post gets to the bottom of the dead groundhog cover up. Prepare to be scandalized.
Weather forecasting I can believe in:
Feb. 2nd, 2010 09:16 amAs they say:
If Candlemas is bright and clear,
There'll be two winters in the year.
If Candlemas brings snow and rain,
Old winter shall not come again.
The only thing bright and clear around here at the moment is the shining electric light. So, yay. On the other hand, I understand that the groundhog took one look and dove for cover today and is still quivering, so, take that for what it's worth.
Happy Candlemas/Groundhog Day/Imbolc/Lughnasadh in any case. And let us also remember the true significance of this day. (No, not that it's World Wetlands Day, though that's kinda cool too.) That's right - Lost returns this evening. (Or, for me, tomorrow morning.) Let the blathering and speculation begin.
(Mind you, my own plan to rewatch the final episode from last season in the mild if ultimately futile hope that I might get a clue of what's going on ended up getting interrupted by Other Things, but perhaps I'll manage to get to it today.)
While I'm blathering...as I noted earlier, ABC is the one broadcast channel that we absolutely do not get no matter what mystical chants are yelled at the television, and very shortly, the television will be tuned to Univision for the Olympics coverage in any case. (If you live in the States, and speak Spanish, I highly recommend this option - Univision has considerably less pointless blathering and also shows non-American athletes, two major pluses.) I know my friends list and my twitter feed and a few of you on chat programs. I know me. So my plan is to go offline Tuesday nights to avoid spoilers. Also knowing me, this will last about a week. If it even lasts tonight, which is doubtful.
