Or are shouted in the wind sweeping furious through the land

I was supposed to have a voice lesson and look at two potential apartments this afternoon. Instead the MBTA is shutting down service completely, so I am indoors and violently stir-crazy already. So far I seem to be avoiding the cold that wasted Rob's cast (I wasn't sure last night), but my ears still hurt. I do not want to be where I am. I like storms, but I am not in a good mood for this one.

If you have been listening to me evangelize about Gravity Falls, you should go read rushthatspeaks' review of same in this week's Strange Horizons. I'll be reading M.R. James and listening to the Future Kings of England. Which should at least mess up my head in different ways.

From the Guardian, speaking of Daniel Craig: "He's the only Bond so far who might also have played Alec Leamas, the downbeat hero of le Carré's The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. Alongside him, Judi Dench suggests she could have played Smiley."

I don't do Yuletide, but could the internet make this happen anyway?

I'm sure the Internet can make it happen.

What is your subject line from? (It sounds Shakespearian)

Have you found something do, dear heart?

I'm sorry about the cancellations. I'm sorry this isn't being one of the storms you'd like.

I hope your ears will be hurting less soon--glad you're avoiding the cold, so far.

I hope all goes well as it can go, and that we'll none of us be under the flood this time or any other.

I'm staying indoors as well. I went out a few hours ago to get five more gallons of gasoline and another quart of motor oil. There's tea. We'll get through.

PS: Thanks for reminding me of that Brass Monkey track. I'm listening to it now. I should keep an eye out for sales of their CDs.
PPS: And thanks for linking the James story. Having read it, I went and downloaded Ghost Stories of an Antiquary from Gutenberg.
