Something Like May

It's snowing outside. I mean really snowing. As though to make up for the two months of winter when it didn't snow all in one night.

It's one of those nights that make a person want to bundle up and watch a movie. Or warm themselves over a hot toddy with friends. Or stay home and do other indoor things that I won't mention on a family-friendly blog.

In any case, this is how it looks out there.



Now, note something -- I took this picture in Rapid City five years ago in mid-May.



I'm not sure what all this tells you. Maybe it says something about climate change or the screwiness of the seasons in the Midwest. I am sure that it implies something about me and my life choices, namely my chosen climate. And perhaps it suggests that I should reevaluate such choices.

Naaaahh.

I think I'm going to bundle up and watch a movie or two. That'll make me feel better.

Stay warm, folks.

I could almost put up with the crazy continental climate of the midwest if only there was something that could be done about the mosquitoes.

Kicking Back

This is the first genuinely relaxing weekend I've had since ... I don't even remember. That's a little unnerving. In any case, it's been a good one. Cruised around the Hills a little bit yesterday on the back of a motorcycle ... Now that's a good way to spend an afternoon (hi, Aaron). Not much doing today. Finally got some laundry done, watched "Shrek 2" on HBO, generally relaxed. Maybe tonight's a Borders night ... or an Applebees night ... or a Perkins night ... Or maybe it's just a sit-and-do-nothing night. What do you think, Ashli? And why won't my keys all work consistantly? A quick question to Eric, if he's out there. Where'd you go, man? Been trying to check your blog but I keep getting a "Sorry, that blog doesn't actually exist anymore" message. Why the disappearing act? Let's see ... what else is going on ... Work is pretty normal. Still learning the ropes, sort of, and developing my experiments. I...

SWG2L: Party Of One

Jonah Hill, continuing to make Jason Segal uncomfortable. (Universal Pictures) Matthew the Waiter: Hey, how's it going? Peter Bretter: Hey, I'd like to grab some dinner, please. Matthew: Okay, great. Is your wife gonna meet you? Peter: No. Matthew: Your girlfriend? Peter: No, I don't have a girlfriend, so... Matthew: [confused] You're just by yourself? Peter: Yeah. Matthew: Sucks. Okay, so just one. Here's your wine list, your menu, come on. You want, like, a magazine or something? It's gonna be boring if you're just sitting by yourself. Peter: No, I'll be alright. Thank you. Matthew: I would just be so depressed. ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Yeah, that's right. I just quoted that . I swear, it's relevant.) I had coffee with one of my single friends a few weeks back and we got onto the topic of "Things To Do When You're Single." More accurately, we were talking about things that should be experienced and one ...

Phraseology

Awesome weekend. Desperately needed. Not much sleep last night. Pondering the next two years of my life. Looks like I'll be here through next December. Had something truly philosophical to say. Forgot it while typing a memo. Still didn't remember it during astronomy. Wonder how much longer I can type in phrases. Met Ashli's cousin last night. Kind of strange, really. The whole situation -- not her. Spent six hours on the computer after spending five in a car. Not fun. Thinking of making lasagna this weekend. Already miss my mom's cooking. Realized I hadn't said much on my blog recently. Hope y'all enjoyed the python picture. Thought it was gross but cool. Can't seem to think in a straight line. Just typed "mind" instead of "line." Strange slip. Attaching a picture from Russia. Maybe I should watch a movie. Haven't seen "Boondock Saints" in awhile. Haven't watched the rest of Bri's movie yet, either. Could actually ha...
