We were supposed to get 8 inches of snow today.  They had the stupid &#8216;Winter Storm Warning&#8217; thing scrolling across the bottom of the TV all day yesterday.  Schools were posting delays and closings as of last night.  This morning they say &#8216;Well, we&#8217;re not getting as much as we thought&#8230; maybe just an inch or two.&#8217;  I actually got to work early today (side-effect of taking a 4-day weekend, I doubt I&#8217;ll make it a habit) and it hadn&#8217;t even started snowing yet.  An hour later, and there&#8217;s about an inch on the ground here downtown.<\/p>\n<p>Well it&#8217;s been about 3 months since I&#8217;ve put anything on here, so this will probably be long.  I&#8217;ll try to break it up a little&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>School: One more quarter.  I&#8217;m actually on Spring Break right now (Wooo!  Party!!!)  Last quarter was decent &#8211; one &#8220;A&#8221; and two &#8220;B&#8221;  I should have ended up with an A in stats too, but I just ran out of love for that class and bombed the last few weeks.  Oh well.  The other B was a pile of crap too &#8211; almost the entire grade was based on a group project, and my group was stupid.  One more quarter, and it should be an easy one.<\/p>\n<p>Just got done with a few days off work &#8211; nice 4 day weekend.  Work is annoying me, I&#8217;m be glad when I get a different job.  There&#8217;s one lady here that is just a complete pain in the ass &#8211; she puts everything off until the last minute, then demands I help her out of the mess she got herself into, and get snippy with me when I don&#8217;t.  This last time, she tried to complain about me (said I had a negative attitude) but just ended up making herself look stupid.  Maybe one of these days I&#8217;ll tell the whole story, it&#8217;s actually pretty funny.<\/p>\n<p>Season is about ready to start.  My reserve is being inspected and repacked as we speak.  (Well, maybe not exactly at this instant, but it&#8217;s in my rigger&#8217;s possession)  I&#8217;m looking forward to it &#8211; it&#8217;s been since late October that I&#8217;ve jumped.<\/p>\n<p>Black for the PS2 isn&#8217;t that bad.  Rent it though, don&#8217;t buy it.  And Resident Evil 4 was really good &#8211; I need to rent that again to finish it.  I can&#8217;t wait for the PS3 to come out.  I played a Xbox 360 for the first time awhile ago &#8211; damn it&#8217;s pretty!<\/p>\n<p>Watched a ton of movies lately.  Not much else to do here during the winter.  Jarhead and Murderball are about the only two &#8216;must see&#8217; movies I&#8217;ve watched lately.  Cinderella Man is close to making that group.  Saw 2 wasn&#8217;t nearly as good as the first, but still decent &#8211; if you liked the first one, you&#8217;ll probably like this one.  Final Cut and 28 Days Later were both worth a rent too.  In the Mood for Love is probably a good movie, I just wasn&#8217;t in the mood for it (pun intended).  Pushing Tin and Mighty Wind I would call rent-worthy as well, along with Lord of War.  In the &#8220;Mindless eye candy&#8221; category we have The Island,  &#8211; long on Special Effects, short on everything else.  I think my postman is taking the movies I&#8217;m trying to send back and watching them first.  If I mail the movies back at my house, it takes 3-5 days for them to get it.  If I send it from work, it&#8217;s there in a day or two.  I&#8217;m starting to wonder if I upset him somehow.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry there&#8217;s nothing too exciting here&#8230; life is fairly boring at the moment.  I think I need a vacation&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m thinking of becoming a weatherman. We were supposed to get 8 inches of snow today.
