From the Desk of the Liquid Engineer

As part of my New Year’s resolutions, I hereby swear to post at least one substitantive update to this blog a week. Wish me luck.

So, university was supposed to start back today. I came back on Sunday, seeing as coming back the day before classes begin is undeniably the suck.

But it was all for naught. Central Texas is apparently having some sort of tryst with Killer Frost and Mr Freeze, and perhaps even that master pimp of the cold, Vanilla Ice: ice, ice everywhere (baby). So much so that there were literally inches of ice frozen onto the LR3’s windshield this morning, and my cold-triggered arthritis and Austin-area allergies have combined to ensconce me in a field of tangible pain worthy of a Star Trek mirror-universe agony booth.

In fact, it’s so bad that tomorrow’s classes have been cancelled as well. Seeing as I have no classes on Monday or Friday and only one on Wednesday, this week has turned eerie–the first week of classes has been basically eviscerated–and cold.

So cold.

But at least I have power, and heat–I’m unable to get in contact with my friends in St Louis, who may very well be in the dark. Again. Stay warm, guys.

In other news, the Lethal Weapon I theme as performed by the Anthony Anderson Orchestra is seventeen kinds of awesome. I’ve been playing it over and over, and am surely annoying the crap out of those people unfortunate enough to live with/near me. It’s cheese eighties music, and strikes me as being pre-emo in some ways. Paradoxically, 80s emo is actually upbeat. Obviously, everyone was too happy with their awesome, planet-orbit-shifting hair to really be too bummed out about anything.
