Winter Wonderland? Or Not.

Last night was supposed to be our first real snowfall of the winter. Around 10pm, I heard what sounded like rain pouring down outside. Sure enough, it was raining. So we woke up this morning to a soggy world, but certainly not any snow. At least not in Hamden.

Not that I am complaining, exactly. It's just odd to be wearing my fall coat in January. There have been some very cold days, sure, but it's almost nothing compared to last year.

It was a good weekend. Fairly low-key. Friday night Marty and I stayed in and watched Memento. That was a very confusing movie. I mean, I understood why people were so excited about it, but it was just hard to follow. A lot of people had told me that it's "even better" the second time you watch it. Unfortunately, neither Marty nor I cared enough about the characters or what happened to sit through it again. Oh well.

Saturday, a friend came over to dinner and I roasted a chicken. Sunday I took down the Christmas tree and packed up all the decorations from all over the house. So things are sort of getting back to normal.

Also last night I had a good talk with my mom on the phone. It is nice that we can make each other shout with laughter like that. Then I listened to music for awhile and fooled around in Photoshop.

I need to start getting ready for the trip to England. Making plans, arrangements, hotel/car/theatre reservations, all that. Getting my passport. Maybe this week I can make some headway. First, a list. Then, progress.
