When I have to get ready to leave early-ish in the morning, I turn on the Weather Channel for informative company. When I first turned it on today, the ever-so-comforting computer generated voice informed me that, "Currently, in your area, the temperature is...30 degrees." Shiny, warmer than yesterday when I had to stand at the bus stop. Ten ( Read more... )

Well then.

It never fails to amaze me how winter just shows up overnight. It's currently about 46 degrees out (38 with wind chill) and the temperature is supposed to drop fairly steadily throughout the day with just a tiny hitch around noon. Winds gusting up to 46 mph. Chance of flurries or snow.

It would wait until the week finals are ( Read more... )

Well gee. I'm not sure how exactly it happened, but there are only three days of classes left in the semester. And thirteen days until the end of exams. Wow. O_O ( Read more... )

Done with projects/papers! Not the best work I've done in my life, but I think they turned out decently given the number of projects I was working on at once. We'll see if my professors agree.

2. If it's not stressful, it's probably angst or ( Read more... )

It's snowing. Not a lot, and it's not sticking to anything, but it's snowing.

Guess it's winter. ...I'd be more convinced if it hadn't been 70 yesterday afternoon.

A post! Actually, it may be more like a mini-rant. But still.

So I was reading my news feeds this morning when I came across a post on GetReligion (great blog, by the way) about a San Francisco activist group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Lovely. Apparently some of the men dressed up in whiteface, insane makeup, and nuns' habits ( Read more... )

Name three fictional characters that remind you of me and why. Then post this in your journal so I can do the same for you.

...My Children's Lit professor is trying to tell us that the main character in the Disney version of Snow White is the evil stepmother. I don't remember this at all. O_O;

He's also claiming that no one would ever see housework as a game or a pleasant pastime. I mean, I know I don't - but I know some folks who find it relaxing. ...Though, to ( Read more... )
