paine in the ask

storm seems a bit more fierce today. wonder what it must be like to deal with this type of weather with greater frequency. of course by deal i mean avoid. were it not for the poorly insulated windows and the constant draft, i would hardly notice it. they still deliver in a snowstorm, right? what? no? but i have nothing to eat. you wouldnt make me go outside, its inclement. it has to be at least 100 feet to the cafe at the corner. i would hardly call that fair. well, i do have three oranges but that hardly counts as food. am i right?


as long as the toilet paper holds out i think i can make it.
