Thats right it is snowing in Houston. Right outside of my office. I am guessing that they will be leting us go home early now. YEAH BOYYYY!
Yesterday, my boss told us to take our laptops home with us, “just in case.” And because of that, not only will it not snow in Austin, but I’m predicting a high of 74 today.
My occasional checks of Weather.com have gone back and forth teasing about Saturday morning flurries here in Atlanta. I’m hoping their meteorological model turns out too conservative and we get enough snow for an epic snowball fight in Piedmont Park this weekend. Or at least enough so maybe I can hurl a snowball at Tebow. Or any obnoxious Gator fan in town.
9:46pm: Price also reports that it is a two-year deal (via Twitter). The signing will result in Toronto receiving a supplemental pick and Boston’s first rounder, provided that they do not sign a higher ranking Type A free agent.
9:37pm: The Red Sox have agreed to terms with Scutaro, pending a physical, according to Ed Price of FanHouse.com (via Twitter).(MLBTR)
Red Sox Nation we have a new SS. Unfortunately he is completely underwhelming.
So…he’s pretty much the same as every other shortstop in Boston since pre-wrist injury Nomar?
…they should be taken with a grain of salt, he thought, because the most exaggerated speeches usually hid the weakest feelings — as though the fullness of the soul did not sometimes overflow into the emptiest phrases, since no one can ever express the exact measure of his needs, his conceptions or his sorrows, and human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we beat out crude rhythms for bears to dance to while we long to make music that will wring tears from the stars.”

This is how I’ve always seen 90210.
But do you think Tori Spelling wants to kill herself ‘cause the porno version of her is hotter than like, her actual self?
Do you think I want to kill myself because I’m STILL not as cool as those guys, even in THIS version!?
Super also - HOW MANY SWEET ‘PEACH PIT’ REFERENCES WILL THEY MAKE AND HOW MANY TIMES WILL IT BE A DOUBLE ENTENDRE TO ALSO REFERENCE AN ORIFICE?
What poor keyboardist was stuck “reimaginging*” the theme song?
And was anyone else disturbed at the hint of a sex scene between Donna and Mr. Walsh?
(Oh, also: they should’ve included the Valerie character, and could’ve given the role to whoever played Kelly in the Saved By the Bell porno. If there isn’t a SbtB porno, I’d like to claim credit for the idea right now.)
*It’s nicer than saying “no way we were getting the copyright permission to the actual song and need someone to write something that sounds like it but not.” Some recent ad uses a bastardized version of “Purple Haze” that really bothers me too.

I’m packing and SUPER excited to rock these bastards on mah vaycay.
Oh tacky epileptic-seizure-causing shorts, it’s been too long…
Those hurt my brain. Also it appears one side is a bit shorter than the other. Do you have one cheek/upper thigh you prefer to show off more than the other?
Subtle - “The Mercury Craze”
2006’s For Hero, For Fool easily makes my “Top 5 albums of the last 10 years” list.
And this is probably the catchiest more-or-less hip-hop song about the class implications of blood donation ever.

I dig the original now, but must confess for years I only knew of the Faith No More cover version (which is pretty much the exact same, only with Mike Patton singing the lyrics.)
