Un-frickin-believable

Posted April 16th, 2007 at 10:31AM

So it’s snowing hard today. We were supposed to get all of the snow yesterday, but it was raining till I went to sleep, so now it’s snowing all day today. Driving with the summer tires on is very scary. I couldn’t make it up one tiny hill on the way to campus today, because there’s a 90* turn just before it, which I had to slowly do so I didn’t slide completely off the road. Having to go full-lock just to go straight really sucks. Especially when the roads aren’t even that bad.

I’ll say this much: I’m never going to curse at other drivers who’re going half the speed I’m going in inclement weather. I’ll just assume they’re running the wrong sort of tires and cut them some slack.

First an absolute blizzard in the middle of March. Now inches of snow in the middle of April. What a POS winter.

Winter Is Depressing, Eh?

Posted November 5th, 2006 at 7:34PM

Yesterday, November the 4th, I woke up at 1pm. By the time I got out of the house, it was 2-ish. I came to campus, checked my e-mail, surfed the web for awhile, and then took off to the Pyramid Mall to get some hex bits from Sears so I could take apart my car’s dash and rewire the stereo (wow, what a royal PITA, don’t ask).

Point is, by the time I got back home, it was 4pm, and getting dark. So I had to do wiring without disconnecting the battery (because I needed the interior lights to see what I was doing). But the joys of dropping nuts and little plastic bits deep into your dash isn’t the point here, so stop trying to change the subject.

It’s getting dark way too early.

There, I said it.

I blame global warming.
