trip.

This weekend my girlfriend and I went on a little trip. We went to see my family in Minneapolis, and also went to get some new records (we’ve been dying for some new LPs). We scored some great new (and some not-so-new) records. We got a new Tara Jane ONeil LP, which although we haven’t listened to the whole thing, it seems like it’ll be quite unique. Also, to satisfy my need for epic open-riffed guitar rock, I scored the new The Nina The Pinta record.

cold!

Alright. What gives? Why so cold, Earth? I think the ocean currents have been messed up due to far to much fresh water being introduced into the ocean because of melting icecaps, but c’mon! It’s a cold one.

Today, I missed my Blogs and Wikis course. Why? Because of my car, and also because of public transportation. This morning, according to wunderground.com, it was -19 F. My car said no. Public transit also said no, as they were not running today. Why? Because ISD #31 was canceled. Last I heard, public transit and school buses were not quite the same thing. On days when peoples cars won’t start, having the buses running would be a good idea, methinks.

In the end, I was finally able to get the car jumped, and got to school in time for my noon class, but I still hate missing class. I hope it’s nicer tomorrow.

apartments

My girlfriend and I recently moved into our new apartment…straight across the hall from the old one.  It has been the easiest move ever.  Literally straight across the hall.  We could open both doors, and shuffle the couch and other large objects straight on though, which on a super cold day like today, is a very nice thing.

The apartment itself is over twice the size of our old one, which is a great thing, since the other one we outgrew probably before we even moved in.  Oh, and this one doesn’t have carpet in the bathroom.  Score.
