inglourious basterds was awesome.

that's all i got for now.

sorry for not posting much, we were driving a lot and running on sleep deprivation and tons of caffeine for the majority of the trip. it was just andrew, nathan, and i returning this time around,with dave of course and maria, a friend of his from grad school and fellow chaser ( Read more... )

spent the night in warrenton, missouri, after a long 13 hours of driving with very little stopping (compared to the last trip that is). did not sleep after we found two spiders in our hotel room, one of which was about two inches from one leg tip to the other and ran like it was on speed and took about six whacks with a shoe to kill like it was on ( Read more... )

edit: might be chasing storms next week. received an email about it today. more info on this later. this summer's looking better :3

the trip officially ended around 1 today when we rolled back into blacksburg, the majority of us still half-asleep i think (i know i was). we said our goodbyes and parted ways - some recent graduates going to start new careers, some heading home to work between semesters, some returning to rest and enjoy the break from classes. i know i, for one, ( Read more... )

we ended up tonight in jeffersonville, ohio, in an attempt to get as close to home as possible. we drove during some nice looking storms in the illinois-indiana area, but they all either formed way ahead of us or behind us and nothing was looking good enough to chase (though a brief tornado did touch down in vermilion county, illinois, not too ( Read more... )

last night was a long day and a late night getting into mason city, iowa. this morning is an early morning: as i type i've got about an hour to shower, get ready to leave, grab breakfast (appears there's nothing around but hotel breakfast, joy), and get in the vans. i'm manning the radar and such today but when we know where we're going i'll post ( Read more... )

we were greeted this morning by a paper on the windshield of one of the vans with a big N on it and 'go big red!' underneath. football is serious business. got a good laugh out of it ( Read more... )

so our 'perfect day' that was on the models this morning turned out to be nothing at all - the moisture that was there this morning never showed up. we turned in early in belleville, kansas. after a short dinner with some of the guys, we went to the hot tub to attempt to play bullshit with plastic cards - this was cut short when we discovered that ( Read more... )

we drove up to st. joseph, missouri, today, on the pretense of waiting another day and watching the models. we got something unexpected: a very good chance of severe weather tomorrow - and a good chance at tornadoes. shear is higher than we've seen this whole trip, with ridiculous helicity values - hopefully cap and cape will look better in the ( Read more... )
