A little winter bitching

Spring, can not get here soon enough. I don't know if I can handle winter for another month or so. I wonder if the groundhog saw his shadow?? Now, I do like winter, but only for a month. By January 1st, I'm ready for it to be over. And then about this time of year, the weather turns ridiculous and I begin to wonder why it is that I live here. There's cold, and then there is just unbearable weather. I feel like -35 is pretty much unbearable. Not to mention that so far this year we have already gotten more snow than the past 9 winters, and more is on the way. Last Sunday I was at the bar w/ Jeanna and there were a random group of guys (that didn't know each other) having a snowball fight for at least an hour - pretty comical. The snow days are also quite nice. In the past 2 weeks, my work has let us out early 4 times - Wednesday I only worked from 9:30 to 12. The snow has also caused parking to become a bit of a nuisance, although I've only managed to get my car stuck twice (each time some nice random man helped me get it out). The people in Nikki's neighborhood shovel out their spots and then mark them with lawn chairs, which is quite annoying when you finally think you've found a spot, only to learn it's already "reserved."

On other news, I've started playing Guitar Hero and have fallen in love. If I had money, I would totally go buy a system just to play it. This new found love has also caused me to start listening to rock a little bit more again. I forgot how much I used to like Rage.

One other point I forgot to mention - potholes. They have reached an all time high thanks to this winter's snow, sleet, and ice. This time last year, there were 10,000 report city wide, and this year there are 100,000.

Monday morning I ended up w/ a flat tire. It was from a nail, but I still like to think it was in some way related to a pothole.
