Longest Night is underway

[annathepiper]

Longest Night has started here at the Murkworks, and it'll just be me and solarbird tonight, pretty much. Friends came by this afternoon to say hi and drop off a few small gifts, much appreciated, although they had to go ahead and scamper off for shelter ahead of the muck we've had rolling up from the south.

I expect tonight to be fairly low-key. Unless the wind does actually pick up and we lose power, in which case Dara and I will be hanging out in the living room by the gas fireplace, possibly playing instruments. Until then, though, it'll be a lot of just peering out the window every so often to see how the snow is progressing.

Last night we watched some old Star Trek in honor of Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, and in particular, the first season TOS episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" Nurse Chapel did have an unfortunate habit of falling in love with guys with brains like computers, didn't she?

Tonight, I may have to break out 3:10 to Yuma. Mr. Bale and Mr. Crowe can do their part to help keep me awake.

Happy longest night of the year to you all, and here's to the sun coming back tomorrow morning in so much as it can with Snowpocalypse Round 2 upon us!

If you're inviting company, I'd like to come; I was planning to stay up for Longest night here at home, but you're actually close enough to get to.

Things are going to be real low-key, but if you'd like to come on over, you're certainly welcome. :) (And cflute too if she likes.) Mostly this is just going to be a lot of hanging out. A lot like any other night, only with more caffeine. ;)

Only point of concern is the weather and how brave you feel with the roads between the Big Green Monster and the Murk. Pizza guy just made it up here okay, but if the snow keeps up, the neighborhood roads could become a problem soon.

I think cflute is likely to go to sleep tonight; she's still got a lingering bronchitis that she's trying to evict. I'll go see about the car and the weather and such; I'm not sure I can make it up the roads in your neighborhood, but I'll at least take a look at what the ones in mine are like.

If I don't see you, merry solstice and I'll be thinking about you from here when the sun peeks in again!

Ah, sorry to hear she's feeling poorly! Rest sounds like the best idea there, yeah. :)

Likewise to you, whether you're here or there, merry Solstice!

It'd probably be fun to do this sometime, but it's been a long time since I pulled an all-nighter and I think I'd fail if I tried doing it by myself.

Have fun!

Thanks! :)
