If you didn't know, Minneapolis got more than 18 inches of snow over the course of the weekend, which is the fifth worst snowstorm on record for this part of the country. The snow was so bad that the plows could not navigate the highways, city buses and trains were shut down for the first time ever, and the inflated roof of the city's pro football ( Read more... )

It was 76 degrees today, and Minneapolis is currently in the grips of the first real rainstorm of the spring. I'm sitting in my office with all the windows open, enjoying the rain smell and the breeze while I catch up with paulkedarkhanna after far too long, enjoy some Wisconsin microbrew, and watch Fullmetal Alchemist. Life may be kind of complicated right now ( Read more... )

It snowed this morning while I was driving to work.

These things are not okay.

So Noel and I were supposed to go to the State Fair and see Weird Al today, but then I was told that it was likely to storm horrendously during the time of the concert, so we elected to stay behind. Of course, this means that not a drop of rain has fallen all day. Figures. It better rain hard tonight, so as to make my evening of drinking beer, ( Read more... )

I would like to take this opportunity to thank whatever gods might be watching over me that I am on my spring break this week and NOT trying to get to work or other obligations. It snowed horrendously here all last weekend, cleared up just long enough for me to get to and from Hunter without incident on Tuesday, and then proceeded to start snowing ( Read more... )

I had a cold, but now I'm mostly better. I was also extremely busy, but it's beginning to taper off. This is good. I also have a few days of fall break coming up, which is doubly good. However, none of this means that I have anything particularly interesting to say at the moment, except to make a to-do list for fall break that is mostly for my ( Read more... )

Additionally, did I mention the part where the wind chill is 27 below zero today?!

ETA: Actually I checked again and right now it's -33 F (-36 C for the benefit of those who don't want to make the calculation). Okay, I give up. Is Australia hiring folk singers and Spanish teachers?

Yes, I'm alive, just busy. And with a song to record, homework to do, a party to go to on Friday night, and Buffy and Legendary schedules for this weekend, I am likely to continue to be so until I get the blessed time off that is Thanksgiving break. Right now my goal is to get my grades done and the music written for my song so I can relax and ( Read more... )

If there's a worse kind of non-catastrophic weather than 90-ish degree heat and 90-ish percent humidity, I have yet to experience it. That was yesterday. It led to a lethargic day at school, a two-hour nap when I got home that just made me feel worse when I woke up from it, and a session of Hunter that was almost painfully short because nobody ( Read more... )

It's office hours, so you know what that means...

Poll Who Would You Do: Buffy Big Bads Edition (credit to humbleminion)

Yesterday it was like 90 degrees here, which resulted in me getting absolutely nothing done all afternoon long, let alone making a real LJ entry, as it was so hot I couldn't concentrate (my house has no air conditioning). Then I went to Hunter, felt sick for most of the way through it, and tried ( Read more... )
