A short note, and then bed.

Hey guys. Looks like I'm finally back on a 'blog roll' (haha... ha... wow, I'm a dork)... anyway. Another snowy day in Mpls, though not 'till later afternoon. Normally I really enjoy the snow (so long as it's not keeping me from going/doing/returning when I want), but a severe lack of parking near campus and two separate 20 minute waits for the bus ended up being the breaking point for a very frustrating day. (Although sometime, I'll write about my encounter at the bus stop... just when I think I can make the generalization that U of M students don't care about much outside themselves, I meet someone really nice.) Luckily, there were friends to be met at Nolte & at Bordertown (over homework and coffee), and I spent the remainder of my evening on a long-awaited phone call, a movie with the roomies, and homemade pigs-in-a-blanket. ...Talk about a blast from the past! I made one of the them with cheese, and it immediately brought me back to eating 'Yankee Bandito meals' at Amigo's with Nathan all those times (we're talking early formative years here, folks). They've long since done away with their beautiful hot-dog-cheese-and-tortilla concoction, but now they've got Cheese Frenchees courtesy of King's... so... I can't complain. If you don't know what Amigo's is, you're probably not from Nebraska (or, I'm told, Kansas)... and yes, I forgive you.
I have a really odd Sociology paper in the mix which requires me to do a 'social deviance experiment'... so... more on that as it develops. The outlook is bleak... playing a deviant is not my forte. Unless you count the "hooch" roles I always seemed to land in our high school plays... anyway. The other paper I've been assigned is to write an etiological myth describing, well, the origin of something. (I'm looking forward to that one a little more, at least!) Gosh... I haven't done creative writing in... well... a REALLY long time!
Also, a shout out to my friend who's celebrating his birthday tomorrow, February 29th (think about it!). Happy birthday, friend! :) And can I just say, I love the fact that, in announcing your birthday, you divided your age by four...
Peace,
