Minneapolis had a snowstorm today! According to the news, may get as much 10 inches. Oy Vey!
We were already at school when the snow started. I interviewed my housemate throughout the day:
The snow made her want to cry apparently.

Me (on phone): “Oh, it snowed about four inches today. I know because I’m looking at a table right now.”
The roads are iced over, the wind chill can reach to -30, and yet I still see bikers every day.
I’m not as bold. My bike has been parked in the basement for the past month. It’ll stay there until things have thawed.
The day started with TruTV , (formerly CourtTV).
I watched about an hour of the Tyler Edmonds murder trial and then went to the law school.
The law school bookstore looked like it was going out of business: a very bored manager and isles full of boxed books. All of the undergrad assistants must still be on break.
Only half of my books were available – not that I’m in any hurry – classes start in two weeks and there are no assignment sheets/syllabi online.
And no, I’m not being gunnertastic – it would be much easier to read at a leisurely pace instead of getting bitch slapped in two weeks with three new classes, job applications, and legal writing.
One of my books for Corporations is three inches thick. My book may be the sole cause of deforestation, global warming, and Seasonal Affective Disorder. The EPA should fine the publisher. The book barely fit in my locker! I eventually (after much heaving and griping) stuffed the brick in my locker.
It’s going to stay there until I get my reading assignments…
After the bookstore I went to Coffman and finished rereading The Broker by John Grisham. I then walked around campus. It was cold, but beautiful.
The only problem with this weather is that I constantly have “let it snow” in my head…
I did some shoveling and then sat down for the Law & Order “mini-marathon” on TNT. The original Law & Order is my favorite show from the franchise because there’s an actual ‘law’ part. SVU and Criminal Intent are almost strictly detective shows. If I want a detective show I’ll watch The First 48.
Winter vacation is nice, but it’s beginning to feel more like rehab than a break. I’m ready to get started again.
We’ve had snow. Lot’s of it.
Minneapolis-St. Paul declared a snow emergency. So I’m flying to Miami.
Have fun shoveling & saltin’ y’all.
I looked outside of my window and thought, “Oh, it’s starting to rain.”
Then a drop did this little loop motion as if it say, “Are you sure? Really?”
And then it hit me, “WOAH! ITS SNOWING!”
The house across the street:
On close up:
Apparently it’s not snowing hard enough to just capture in a normal photograph, but trust. That’s Santa-rain right there – that’s snow! (And a big honking deal if you just spent the past 7 years in Miami.) Woot! Time to call madre!
