notes from underground

Well, snow and rain. And hail. With some wind, and ice, and…. eugh. Woke up this morning and it was a nice snow, fairly steady, fairly thick; began to cover the ground pretty quickly, I thought it’d be nice and white when I got outside. I made the mistake of looking away from the window for the next hour, while I studied for a Japanese presentation with Jane. When we left for class, it was a torrential DOWNPOUR of freezing rain. Not. Happy.

It wasn’t that bad, because Japanese happened to be right across the street. I really hope they keep it there, it’s such a nice location on those mornings when I wake up late… Presentation went OK, then we both ran back across Thayer to…

what the hell, my music stopped…

…ok, fixed it. Back to Techhouse, and warmth. I’m thinking we’ll try to have a fire tomorrow, at the End of the Year Dinner. Spent a little while hanging out with Jim and Doug. They were watching an anime called Tsukiyomi Moon Phase, so after I dropped off my coat I came down to watch the end of the episode. I’d seen Nanamimi Mode before, but I’d never seen the original nanamimi mode, the opening sequence from Tsukiyomi. It’s nuts.

Better yet, while looking for that flash animation’s URL, I found THIS:
NANA DANCE!

By the time we went for dinner it had cleared… it’s beautiful now, the snow’s all shiny and pretty. Well, I use “now” loosely, right now it’s dark outside and clouding over again. Owen, Ali and I had a snowball fight, and there was much Ratty food. Came to the CIT afterwards, now I’m working on animation, or should be. With that, back to work.
