I know - it feels so surreal 😭 And Billy getting through that whole speech - I don’t know how he did it

Sigourney is so good - even when she has to do a dumb bit she kills it 🔥

But also, how have they not fixed the sound yet???? #Oscars

They typically kind of fumble the In Memorium segment - I’m glad they didn’t this year. That’s one of the better formats I’ve seen. 💔 #Oscars

Noooo! New backstories?! The premiere episode felt so Hallmark-ified I was totally out. I am so glad the original can still be found to stream.

Do the Oscar audience vibes feel weird this year, or is it that the reactions seem a little off due to the really distracting sound issues they’re clearly having? #Oscars

Very much in agreement about ACG&S. I hadn’t ever seen the original until the pandemic and fell in love with the characters. Only watched one episode of the new series - felt like they sucked all of the personality right out of it.

I want to say it was an unsettling salmon-ish color...with mushy unidentifiable chunks of fruit floating around in it.

Vivid(ish) memories of college parties and plunging solo cups into the industrial tub filled with room temperature Hairy Buffalo.

I should have done it 2 years ago too. I felt like I needed it for work, but it's really just been nothing more than an annoyance. It will be nice to just not have to think about it anymore at all.

Yesterday was a bread day, so (naturally) today is a cheese day. All cheese, all day.

The beauty of this setup is that the leftovers absolutely *necessitate* Fondue Monday.

This is where I'm at with every app/site - increasingly finding that the reasons to *not* use something outweigh the reasons to stay - usually a relief to delete!

Next step is dropping all of my Meta accounts. Will lose access to groups + business presence, but just doesn't matter as much anymore.

This is about the perfect outcome imo! Not so much it’s disruptive, but enough to give the trees a spring drink and be fun for a few days before it all melts away again.

I think it’s incredible you can give us all the info you do given the increasing unpredictability + recent cuts. I so appreciate all of your updates (especially the directives on when to shovel!!). We’re lucky to have you!

And so begins another 12 hours of my dog whining at the back door to be let out, only to walk outside for 2 minutes and turn around to be let right back in.

A golden retriever squinting his eyes as a gentle breeze brings down a little snow.

Despite the dramatic face, it is NOT windy yet. Perfect time to shovel/snow blow. Seems like so far we’ve had maybe 7” in Mendota Heights?

Walking down the driveway on a snowy evening

Went out for a 1st pass since my snow blower is a lil guy (electric 21” single stage) and it’s absolutely gorgeous out there. Probably 4-5”?

Your semi-regular reminder that a Twin Cities weather feed exists and you can pin it up top for easy access and updates.

Local mets + weather news + anything tagged with #mnwx (and use the tag if you’ve just been on the road! Wondering what the driving conditions are like at the moment…)

For sure - I’ve basically set aside the next 24 hours for movies + Oscars and occasional snow blowing.

A golden retriever watching for the first signs of a real snowstorm out a sliding glass door.

Right there with ya - the only time he’s not been in this spot today is when he’s been on the other side of the door.
