Over the last few days, cabin fever has set in. A face that once bore a happy-go-lucky expression now bears the anguish that can only be caused by multiple days stuck inside, because I forgot to purchase suitable shoes for snow and such, but perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself.

It all began on Saturday, when I realised that because of the snow forecast, I would need some sort of shoe appropriate to such weather. So off I went to the nearest place I thought would stock such a shoe. Unfortunately, I get distracted by a larger chocolate rabbit called 'Magnus'. But be fair, it's a giant rabbit named Magnus, whoever came up with that name clearly has a sense of humour, I also dropped off a gift for a friend, I timed the drop off to create the most awkward questions possible, the link is here, I'm mentioned towards the end.



So, Monday came and I awoke to find this vista from my window:-



Almost a total whiteout, I had problems sleeping because of the light reflecting off the snow from the streetlamps. My initial thought was that I had to ensure that the driveway was clear so that outsiders could get to the entrance without undue hindrance. I was surprised how easy it actually is to shovel snow from one place to another, I don't know why people complain about it, within an hour a passage had been created, allowing outsiders a choice of directions to get to the house. My lectures had been cancelled for the day, so I sat down and decided to do some Maths (Yum, Fourier series derivations :D) and discover the joys that the internet had to offer. (See my del.icio.us account for some of the stuff I liked, I'll post the top few right here) Then I had found that by accident, while gritting the path, I had used up all but a token amount of salt, so had to endeavor to the shop to get some more, which is how I came to be in the position of taking these photos:-





Having made it back alive, I decided to celebrate my victory over nature with some green tea.



I watched the Dark Knight while I was at it, an excellent movie, shame there wasn't really enough Joker in it for me, I can see why he didn't get a nomination for best actor, he's just not in the movie enough. Although a twisted moment was where I was watching it and thinking "Yeah, I could run a criminal empire like that, I'm insane enough." Speaking of which, not a big fan of Christian Bale now. He's a bit of a crazy bitch who needs to lay off the steroids.

The two sites that have made me chuckle most over the last few days:-
