Sinister: cold outside

[kevin m. clair]

Sometimes I really wish that I had a car here at school, but then it snows 
and I remember that not driving sometimes isn't all that bad, really.

Anyway, hello again.  I haven't posted anything in a while, but I still 
read it when I'm ignoring my homework, which is all the time.  I usually 
only ever post to one mailing list or one message board or my livejournal 
at a time, and so I get sidetracked.  I've been dollying up my livejournal 
quite a bit.  Now it's full of links and snide remarks everywhere, and 
really, what is the internet anymore if not a bunch of links connecting me 
to all my friends to all their friends?

So I live in Minnesota, right, and it was cold here.  I think it spent a 
couple of days below zero.  Yesterday morning when my roommate went to work 
it was 17 below, and the other night the wind chill was pretty regularly in 
the -30s.  Naturally, the only real solution was for me to spend three 
hours outside playing broomball.  For the uninitiated, this is like hockey 
played outside with tennis shoes, unbristled brooms, and a bright orange 
soccer ball.  It's the most entertaining game in the world if you are a 
masochistic Midwesterner, next to watching Cubs games.  Now it's a quite 
balmy 13, and next week we may even see the positive side of the Celsius 
scale, which is stunning.  I hope we don't, but I would like to stay on the 
positive side of the Fahrenheit scale for a long time.

I forget what else I was going to say.  Clearly it was important.  There's 
always next time.  I suppose I'll listen to the tape of my radio show 
again, so as to hear our funny song transitions - from Portishead to Senor 
Coconut!  College radio w00!

erm,
Kevin
