snowy snow

[silentdescant]

woke up 20 min. before I had to leave for class, didn't have breakfast, had a snickers bar in between classes, and then when classes were over, it was snowing and my mom was stuck in gridlock traffic at the bottom of the hill. so I started hiking, freezing cold, though the snow, down the hill, under the highway, finally to the car. then, as we still weren't moving, I hopped out to get some McDonald's, then later to get a car charger for my cell. eventually traffic picked up a bit and we made it on the highway for a while. then we had to pull off to put on chains, which were a real pain, and my hair and jacket got soaked with snow (which was about 5 inches deep at that point). then it was slow going (occasionally stop-and-go) up and down the mountain, then we mostly coasted all the way to our house. right before turning into the neighborhood, we passed a snow plow, and it sprayed the car with a ton of snow, even though we were on the side that shouldn't have sprayed much. and at the exact same moment in the exact same sarcastic voices, my mom and I both said "thanks" and then we both cracked up because it sounded so funny.

gotta do a character bio for script by Wednesday. I've it already sketched out, so it should be pretty easy and fun besides. and during cinematography, the TA mentioned LotR as an example of lighting a few times, so that was pretty cool.

update: the snow level at my house is about 5-6 inches right now.
