Snowed In (with fruit juice & crime drama)
I went to the video rental store this morning as soon as it was set to open. I arrived at 9:55a.m., and the parking lot was already nearly full, and there were people lined up at the door in 7° weather, waiting for it to open. Seems everyone thought to beat it to the video store before the snow storm. Considering how busy the video store was this morning, I shouldn't like to have seen the grocery store, so I did not venture near any of those.
I myself was anxious to get the next dvd of episodes in the CSI series, to watch while snowed in. After watching the 'Pilot' episode of CSI in hopes of better understanding the whole Visine on Nipples myth, I've since fixatedly rented and watched every episode out on DVD save for the last 2 volumes of the 3rd season. (Oddly enough, there were 2 other episodes which make reference to that particular storyline from the Pilot, so I feel it's been good "research".)
I really would've liked to go out walking in the snow storm this afternoon. But with the temperature not going much about 10°F today, that really didn't seem like a good idea. In 25°+ temperatures, walking around bundled up in the snow is fun... In 20°- weather, it would be not so fun.
And so I was snowed in for the duration, and just took photos of the snow from my back porch.
And then I took the camera into the refrigerator. Clearly a sign of cabin fever.
Further evidence of cabin fever. I concocted a fruit juice mixture using various liquid beverages in my refrigerator. After having drank it, I decided to see exactly how many different things were in the concoction by reading the labels of the various bottles.
The drink contained orange, banana, apple, pineapple, mango, kiwi, lime, broccoli, spinach, barley grass, wheat grass, blue green algae, dragon fruit, lemon, sunchoke, green tea, cream, milk, chai tea, blackberry, boysenberry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, tamarind, and something called Nova Scotia dulce.
Quite a variety to have in one glass. It was pretty good. I think I might do that more often, actually.

I think I may be the last person on the planet that does not watch CSI.
I know many people who've never seen it.
