Overnight Snow and slippery slush. Big wet lumps are pattering off the trees constantly.

“For the eleventh time, Inkwell rings in the New Year with a visit from Bruce Sterling, to address the State of the World and Things Various and Sundry…” Always good fun. [From Bruce Sterling’s State Of The World 2010]

As usual we had family over for food and drink.
The dogs managed to grab a few sausage rolls and such as well.

Irish atheists defy a blasphemy law by publishing quotes it considers anti-religious, including by the Pope, on its website. [From Irish atheists challenge new law]
It seems likely the Irish Govt. will avoid this confrontation. Another case of selectively applied laws.

Finished watching season one of Six Feet Under yesterday. I’d managed to miss this show somehow so now I’m catching up with the complete box set which was on sale at Amazon. The first season was very good and I’m looking forward to the rest. It’s one of those shows that was made during the transition to widescreen so the first two seasons are in 4:3 aspect ratio and the last three are in 16:9.
Another show I never saw that I got the complete box set of is The Wire – a show that many critics deem the best TV drama show ever made. I’ll eventually get around to that. I still have to watch the last two seasons of The Shield first.

It started a couple of years ago on some of the cable channels but now it’s spreading. TV shows getting split into two mini-seasons per year with months between. I see some network shows aren’t returning in 2010 until March or even April – that’s a four month hiatus between the halves of the season. Some cable shows have even longer breaks.

Looks like the car might not be going anywhere for a few days.
But the dogs like bounding around in it.
