so much snow!

I cannot believe the first snowfall of the season is this bad!! I took a few more photos so you can see the progression from last night when it started. They actually cancelled all classes!

I wanted to get some Vicks last night, but it was narly out. Now I'm really screwed because I can't even get out of the parking lot. Aqua Mouse is buried!

At first site of the snow I began to panic. I was thinking to myself, OMG I'm supposed to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter tonight!!! I'll be devastated if it's a mess like this. Then I heard that it's just the Hamburg/Orchard Park area that's getting molested and the location of said midnight showing is clear! Snap!

Ciao!

thundering snowfall?

The first official snowfall at Hilbert, yikes! The little snowflake vampires are on a mission to suck the colour out of everything, blanketing it in a cold and slushy sheet of white. But what's super bizarre is the thunder. A snowing thunderstorm? That's a nature first for me folks. I need to get some Vicks but it's wicked out there!

a few hours progression, snow is still falling!

aqua mouse returns, again!

I just picked up a relatively healthy Aqua Mouse at the shop. I'm sooooooooo happy. As it turns out, something was wrong with the shifting cable and it wasn't able to properly lock in park. This was, as a safety feature, preventing the car from starting. Best news, this time, it only cost me $40!!!! I think that needs to go down in the record books as the least amount of money I have ever paid when taking my car in for repairs. Sweet! So, to all of you that have been so kind as to give me rides during the last 3 weeks, I am most grateful. You know I will return the favor any time! Ciao.

I went to a gathering with (mostly) members of my Canisius program cohort. It was really nice to get to chill with them outside the context of the classroom. Here are a few photos of the nonsense that ensued once the Tooters and Jell-o shots came out. Yes Tooters, (e:Ladycroft)’s favorite test-tube treat! We missed all ya'll that couldn't make it. Enjoy.

lemons, lemons, lemons

So, my joy in only spending $200 to fix my car was short lived. Yep, you guessed it, Aqua Mouse won’t start. One start to get it home and now it’s dead in the parking lot. I could cry. I could scream. But I remember reading a quote by (e:Jason), that when life hands you lemons say, “Hey, WTF is this” and throw them at people!!! Yah, I think I’ll skip the crying, skip the screaming and just go straight into throwing. If you see a woman skillfully beaning people in the head with lemons, seek shelter.

aqua mouse returns!

My dad picked me up after work and took me home so I could pick up my car. It's fixed, hurray! It only cost me $200. The old problems are still there, but the fact that it starts and is running, well that's just peachy. He also got the blinkers to work properly. Now it's time to detail Aqua Mouse with glittering letters. Maybe I should do it tomorrow while it's supposed to be another lovely fall day.

Since I was right near my house I took an hour of my day to chill with my little Bambi. I love her so much. I feel so sad when I go see her, knowing that we both miss Twigi so much, and now that my mom is off visiting my pregnant sister down in Mississippi, she's all alone all day. Poor thing was giving me sugar for 30 minutes, non-stop! Not that I'm complaining, it's not like I'm getting sugar from anyone else!

Happy Halloween Ya'll

I'm busy finishing a mid-term due by midnight, but I wanted to send out Happy Halloween wishes to all!

I donned one of my renaissance outfits for daytime wear. I was happy to see a few of my classmates dressed up as well. Lucky I brought my camera along!

I know everyone has already seen my outfit, but I managed to make a few adjustments yesterday which really improved the overall quality. I painted my chest plate red, coloured my arm cannon the proper bluish-green, and added a green tinted visor to my helmet. People thought I was really intimidating, so I guess it worked! Ciao.
