Wow it's been too long. How has everyone been? Just kidding don't answer that. This is not your blog.
The blizzard of 2010 was a let down but the aftershock was much more impressive. We actually had snow accompanying the extreme cold and wind. So kudos to you God, Buddha, or your chosen higher deity, you showed all the complainers.
Driving. It's a curious thing that almost everyone experiences and almost everyone is bad at it. There is an unwritten driving etiquette that everyone must abide by. On the road, unlike in life, a simple apologetic wave of your hand can change the mood of the person you just screwed over. For example, some bitch cuts me off and just as I'm conjuring up some swear words to yell, she looks back and waves with a sorry look on her face. All is forgiven. It's the same for thanking someone. For example, if I take the time to put on my brakes and let you in line I expect a wave. To not do so is the highest form of blasphemy. I've been known to chase people down. One of most important rules is that if I'm driving on the freeway and you're driving a Toyota Tercel, you may NOT pass me. It's embarrassing to me and my car. Stay back near the semi trucks. Especially if you're license plate reads "tank." I speak from experience.
Last Thursday was Thanksgiving. Naturally that means the next day is Black Friday. TGIDWIR meaning, Thank God I Don't Work In Retail. I feel bad for those poor souls who have to work in the morning on Black Friday. I refuse to participate in Black Friday. It is what future generations will look back on in shame. It reveals the absolute lowest form of human compassion. If I have to punch an old lady to get the last auburn t-shirt, an xbox, and a microwave, I'll pass. I'd rather keep my sanity and shop online.
I saw two movies over Thanksgiving break, "127 Hours" and "Love and Other Drugs." The first was amazing. It's the true story of Aron Ralston and his survival adventure in the canyons in southern Utah. For looking at the same guy for an hour in a half it was amazing and brutal. The second was not as great. Two hours of Anne Hathaway's boobs got old. The story line was predictable. And there were just some really weird parts.
Today I went to the store with Saige, Daley, and Paige. We saw kids steal chips, we looked for cheese, and we contemplated over soap and chewy bars. On the way home Saige started saying I was north of her, which wasn't true because we were driving east but she kept insisting. Turns out Saige thinks she is the center of the universe. Then she fell in the snow. Karma is a bitch. When Daley and I got back to the dorm she spilled all her cereal saying, "I didn't know it was upside down... and open." This is what I have to deal with.
Daley had a health scare today passing out at the gym and probably scaring the crap out of a stranger. Walking around to find an asian passed out on the ground makes one question everything. I'm happy to report Daley is alive and well. All she needed was a good blow to the head and some wheat thins. Lesson of the day: never exercise when sick.
That's all for now. Until next time, get yourself tested, avoid snow banks, and drink plenty of water.
