The continuing adventures of...
It has been really cold and really wet, and quite frozen. At the beginning of the storm on Wednesday, when universities began closing, Andy trudged over here to hang out, followed by Charles in the evening. They were basically stuck here for three days, since it was nearly impossible to drive, or even walk anywhere. So we spent the time doing another one of our binge roleplaying sessions, this one with quite a bit of variety. First, we started off with some Star Wars, playing a one-shot Sith campaign set during the Hyperspace Wars. Deciding against Kindred of the East, we instead started a Werewolf game, which was cool, despite the fact that my lack of experience with the setting meant I was basically running blind through the whole thing. Then, we played some Mage (sort of), which quickly degenerated into 45 minutes of penis jokes after Charles suggested naming the building that we were supposed to infiltrate the "Howard Stern Building."

On Thursday, we tried to walk to McDonalds. It was easy for the first two thirds of the trip, where the packed ice over the snow wasn't very thick, and we could easily punch through. Eventually, we got to an area where there was no snow, just ice, and the adventure truly began. We had almost no traction, leaving us at the very mercy of the wind, even when we crossed a major avenue. We had to carefully pick our way over to McDonalds, where it became quite clear that we were some of the only customers they received that day.

On an unrelated note, I go back to school tomorrow, and classes start on Monday. Last semester at old UP, and good riddance. Next fall promises to be much more interesting.
