Wednesday roundup

Listening to a podcast on my way in this morning, I heard a guy reference being somewhere “on a snowy Friday afternoon”. When I heard the word “snowy” I got a nice feeling. And Scott just blogged about it snowing a lot in Seoul yesterday.

I have to admit, I kind of miss winter. While we’re moving into autumn here in Australia, not much will change about the weather. Especially here in Sydney, where it’s pretty much the same year-round—compared to, say, Washington, D.C., which actually has seasons.

I kind of like the cold and shit. It makes the sunny days better.

Not that I’m complaining. Bitching about the weather when you live in Sydney is pretty dumb. (Although we’ve had cause to this summer, what with the incessant rain. It’s overcast even now.)

Here’s what’s happening in your world on this Wednesday morning:

1. Barack Obama is gaining ground in Ohio. And he’s now leading in Texas. Primaries are next Tuesday.
2. In other Obama news, former Democratic presidential hopeful Chris Dodd and former Texas Governor Mark White both endorsed the Illinois senator.
3. Staying in the Lone Star State, it is official: The annual Texas A&M-Texas football game will be played on Thanksgiving Night again, at least for the next two years. Sweet. This is how it should be. I love night games at Kyle Field.
4. The Dallas Morning News has the worst website on the planet.
5. Radiohead will play two shows in Japan this October, in Tokyo and Osaka. I will be going.

That’s all I’ve got for now. More to come in this crazy world.
