Jeremiah Green, drummer for Modest Mouse, has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer
Jeremiah Green, drummer for Modest Mouse, has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, according to a post from Issac on the band’s facebook page:
“Hi. Some of you may have already heard, but I figured it would be good to hear the news directly from our camp. Jeremiah was diagnosed with cancer a short while ago, and he’s currently in treatment. It seems to be going smoothly and making a positive difference. Jeremiah, as am I, are believers in the power of positive energy, so if you would be so kind as to send “good vibes”( to quote Jeremiah) in the direction of Jeremiah and his family, that’d be great.
Thank you and love,
Isaac Brock”

Sports reporter lets it fly on air while covering a snow storm
Not all heroes wear capes. Mark Woodley, the “sports guy” at KWWL in Waterloo, IA gives no F’s as he covers the blizzard last night (this morning?) “I didn’t even realize that there was a 3:30 also in the morning until today.”
Watch his compilation below for such gems as; “What better time to ask the sports guy to come in about five hours earlier than he would normally wake up, go stand out in the wind and the snow and the cold, and tell other people not to do the same?”
“Tune in for the next couple of hours to watch me progressively get crankier and crankier.”
“I’ve got good news, and I’ve got bad news. The good news is that I can still feel my face right now. The bad news is I kind of wish I couldn’t.”
“How do I get that Stormchaser 7 duty? I feel like Clint got the better end of that deal. That thing’s heated… the outdoors currently is not heated.”
I want to party with this dude. <3 Lauren

Your commute home on Thursday is probably going to suck
With Chicago’s incoming winter storm being updated from a “watch” to a “warning”, we are facing the unfortunate reality that the next few days could be really rough. “Hunker down if you can, bundle up if you can’t — and keep an eye on each other either way” is the message from Chicago city leaders as they prepare for the storm to roll in on Thursday. Per Fox 32, “A winter storm warning from the National Weather Service goes into effect Thursday morning ahead of a steep temperature drop by the afternoon,” meteorologist Mike Bardou said.
“A light drizzle is expected to turn to snow, ushering in the worst conditions just in time for the evening commute,” Bardou said. Temperatures dropping by 25 degrees, into the low teens or single digits, are expected to create dangerously icy conditions.
Expect to see up to four inches of snow on Thursday with snowfall continuing into Friday to go along with temperatures barely above zero.
If you see someone struggling to stay warm, you’re asked to call 3-1-1 and report their location.
Now THAT’S a party trick
I know not everyone feels the same way, but I LOVE watching Monday Night Football with the Manning brothers, Peyton and Eli. Their commentary is hilarious only to be matched by their constant ripping on each other. It really is magical. For example, talking through Gumby’s finest moment caught on camera… <3 Lauren
