Oh yeah, on the subject of my mom being awesome:
She DVRed South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. And we sat and watched it. She actually sat and watched the entire thing, and she was laughing. I don't think she'd admit it, but I think she started to see what Uncle Mike saw in it. At one point she said, "Please tell me your brother hasn't seen this movie." XD
It's friggin' COLD. I took Oliver out for his walk this morning, and he was FLYING down the sidewalk. I could practically hear his thoughts: "Shitshitshit cold mother of god get me out of here!" There are also a bunch of areas in our neighborhood covered by solid sheets of ice. The entirety of the park is iced over because the Parks department never comes out to salt or break the ice up or anything. Ever. Meant to tell Mom I bet McCarren Park is perfectly clear. McCarren's on the other side of the BQE, in Greenpoint, which is far "trendier" than our part of Willliamsburg. I have no doubt in my mind McCarren is as ice-free as they can make it. They won't be happy until someone busts their ass. They only cleaned the streets because Mom called 311 and told them that last year, the streets weren't cleaned (as always) and cars were losing control and hitting parked cars, and one of them actually slid across Lorimer Street and was lucky there was no traffic coming.
I'm developing a tolerance to cold because I have to walk Oliver, but 12 degrees? No. No thank you.
And speaking of my dog, it sucks when I'm putting my coat and stuff back on to head out to work, and he's staring up at me with a sad look in his eyes. I swear, that dog knows how to use his eyes. Mom's home this week, though, so he's not alone right now. Even if she was working, she'd be home about half an hour from now.
I also have cat shelter duty tonight, and on the way there, I'm going to return the Petmate carrier I bought from Petco. The Sherpa works better. That'll be $60 back in my pocket.
