h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There's been so much ice and snow and sleet in the last day and a half that they cancelled school tomorrow. That's like next to unheard of here - sometimes they'll cancel classes for a portion of a day because of incliment weather, but never the whole thing.

Not that I'm complaining. My Sodit schedule goes from 1pm till 10pm almost straight and I'm not particularly sorry to not have to deal with it tomorrow. Even if I still have to go to my 5:45 woodwind quarter rehearsal (as everyone lives on campus), it'll still be better than doing calc, astro, quartet, and astro lab with a small break between astro and quartet (ok, it's not small - it's 2 hours, but still!).

So. That's tomorrow. I'm gonna be bored stiff... just essays and reading to do. I wish they'd cancel class in the spring when it's nice out.

Oh, and two lovelinesses: Finally got to see Shawshank Redemption on Doobry with Dan when he was visiting. This was me all during the credits:

*speechless*

Kid you not. Most amazing movie I've seen in a long time. Definitely makes my top five favorites. And with my sub-woofer turned up just a hair too much, Morgan Freeman's voice is wooooooooonderful.

Loveliness number two was the basketball game Doobry evening. Raining and cold and icing over when Dan and I headed down to Dedmon - nice and warm inside. I was a bit worried cause like 4 of our players are on athletic probation for some reason or another, and we had exactly half of what the other team had: we'd 7 players, they had 14. They also had *really* cool uniforms (turquoise and black - very ), where we've got just plain old white. Not that that has anything to do with ability, but still. Well, we won. Like, REALLY won. By 7 points - but we were leading at one point with 15 over the other team. Bewwy impwessive. I love my vantage point in the pep band - we're right behind the one basket, and behind the visitor sideline area thingie - even though I'm not a fan of basketball. I think some of it's sort of interesting, and the last 5 minutes are normally pretty exciting as sports go. This last time we got a nice view of the visiting coach who was *yelling* at the referree every time he fouled that team for basically beating up our players. Strange man. At one point, he substituted his entire lineup at once. Never seen that happen before. But we kicked their butts, so that was good. I actually enjoyed the game, which is odd, cause I really can't stand sports.

And we got to play "Hey Baby" during one of the time-outs (v. cool cause we get to sing). That just made me happy.

Gonna be bored today?

We'll be here All day, I'd say, because the snow is still coming down out there, and it's drifted in like I've never seen before around here.

O my.

Just for contrast:

I walked home from work today because it was sunny.

We're getting absolutely hammered with bad winter weather this year. I about killed myself on the way back from the dining hall last night...

I am sorta hoping that school gets cancelled tomorrow, too.

You're still alive, then?
