The Weather Channel just named the newest Midwest snowstorm ‘Orko’..

Someone there’s a HE-MAN fan.

It’s flu recovery weekend. For Ayden it’s his letters, pop tarts and peanut butter cereal. For me, CAFFEINE for the first time in months. For mom, soup. And for all three of us lots of sleeps. A nice cold winter day for it, too. Later on we may embrace the world again and go for some Japanese. I really think so.

Bring in da funk

My local paper is applauding a DJ returning home from the ‘big cities,’ coming back to backwards Schuylkill county, and with him funk music in an all vinyl style.

I wish him luck and ANYTHING that makes this county more lively is a plus.

But my fear? There are already too many mullets existent in this area… And I’d hate to see them coupled with browns fuzzy carpets of the 70s.

Bring the vibe of funk, sure. But maybe also ditch flannels and mom jeans.

In Brazil, Footage of Spiders Showering the Skies

This seriously would be the scariest storm ever…

Braving the NYC blizzard to get to Saturday Night Live is none other than Justin Bieber. This is a snap from his Twitter with Lorne Michaels. I don’t have a joke. Lots of others will.. But I did initially think this was a grandmother celebrating her granddaughter’s first day of school.

I think all the cold and snow in New York will lead to lots of Sunday morning Bieber fever.

It's raining spiders, hallelujah

It did though, in Brazil. Cloudy with a chance of arachnids.

It's raining spiders, hallelujah

The sounds of silence on a major interstate after a blizzard. Somewhat chilling, no pun intended.

An real picture. See how my all natural beer refrigerator idea from before could work?

To all New Englanders: Here’s a unique and creative idea on keeping your adult beverages cold.

Keep in mind this is an old Photo but fun nonetheless. I bet people are trying it.

7 days till you die? What is this, a race?

Great movie idea: 6 more weeks!

These gifs on College Humor are so often very inspirational.

How depressing.. Not being able to see your car in winter is similar to not able to see your feet after a big dinner. The digging out occurring now….in very windy conditions.

Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis striking southeastern PA

This is weird:
CBS Philly: It’s a mysterious, newly discovered disease that strikes mainly young women, and it’s often misdiagnosed. Doctors who discovered it, here in Philadelphia, say it’s like your brain is on fire

More:

Young women dazed, restrained in hospital beds, acting possessed and then becoming catatonic. They’d been so normal, when suddenly their lives went haywire.

“One minute I’d be sobbing, crying hysterically, and the next minute I’d be laughing, said Susannah Cahalan, of New Jersey.

The other scary thing is that very often it may be completely misdiagnosed as a mental disorder .., or even in the religious world, as a satanic possession..

So…why the cluster?

So what’s that curious metal object sticking out of the Martian surface anyway?

We are talking about this week’s storm like it’s the last of the year. Here is a forecast model run for next week with another lurking Nor’easter poised to strike. This is just in time for valentines day… Watching this one closely.

Dress yourself up pretty and meet me tonight in a blizzard .. Fun image from NYC courtesy of CNN. Dancing shoes in a tundra. It is truly the city that never sleeps. Love it.

Massachusetts and Connecticut got hit bad

Now that’s a Nor’Easter

Nearly 530,000 customers have lost power in nine northeastern states during the blizzard that is blanketing the region.

Over 300,000 of those

CNN report

My power blinked only once. Luckily. I’m warm enough to go shovel now … Thank goodness we didn’t get 3 feet here..

White House home movies.

Our Nixon documents the president’s rise and fall through home movies shot by three of Nixon’s closest aides. Forgotten for nearly 40 years, these Super 8 films offer a unique look at life inside the White House.

This could be an interesting idea..
