If an Entire City is Closed, is it Ok to Still Be Here?

I went to bed last night at about 12:30 a.m. There was no snow in sight. When I woke up at 6:30 a.m., there was a buttload. And everything and their mother has been closed for the day, including the city of Boston. The entire city. Boston is closed, folks. Go back from whence you came.

So it’s kind of like an “if a tree falls in the forest” kind of question, but if Boston is closed, what am I still doing here? They don’t like it when I try to stay in Chipotle when it’s closed…actually they do like that. Bad example. The point is, it’s a legit snow day, I’m home from work, and as long as this Top Chef marathon continues, it could be a great day.

For Reals, This Was the Dream I Had Last Night

I have some pretty effed-up dreams. Mostly because they’re so lifelike that it takes me a few minutes after waking up to realize they weren’t real. Like, I could be eating breakfast by the time I realize I’m not actually pregnant with John Krasinki’s baby. And it freaks me out.

So imagine my horror at the doozy I wound up with last night:

So I’m innocently riding the L train in Chicago with Kanye West (obviously) when some dude who looks like Lourdes Ciccone’s father takes a silver wine opener (butterfly style, not the jackknife kind) to Kanye’s ear and threatens his life. There’s no explanation as to what this dude is so upset about, Kanye refuses to relent and the Madonna’s baby-daddy look-alike screws that wine opener right into Kanye’s head, through his brain, and kills him dead. Then, he threatens to kill my entire family if I tell anyone, because apparently out of the 500 people on the L train, I’m the only one that sees this. He gets off at the next stop, as do I, because hey, it’s my stop.

Clips with Coach: AND THEN THERE WERE FIVE

Unbeaten. But for how long?

Editor’s Note: We’re a week late on Clips with Coach because Denny’s last “clip” was simply too inappropriate. And he knows it. So if you hear around town that he’s been “censored,” tell him he needs to stop or I’m going to book him under the Alien and Sedition Act and not read him his Miranda rights.

Five. That’s the number of unbeaten teams in college basketball after the first full week of conference play. Villanova was no surprise over Cincinnati; the Bearcats are just not that good. Same can be said for Central Florida, who lost to an 8-6 Houston squad. Kansas needed overtime to beat a mediocre Michigan team, Ohio State survived a scare against Minnesota (as the Gophers missed a game-tying shot at the buzzer), Syracuse only beat Seton Hall by 5, and San Diego State beat a below-.500 Utah team. The 5th unbeaten??? Yes. Duke. They were challenged by Maryland, the last team to beat them (let me see, that was…10 months and 25 games ago).
