SNOW!

hey roomies ;)

we just survived the snowpocalypse here in michigan. we were supposed to get 15-25 inches overnight tuesday and something called thunder snow and everybody freaked out. every school in michigan was cancelled, even michigan state (for only the third time in its history and first since 1975). every school except good old michigan that is who continued its policy of staying open during blizzard warnings because "it owes it to its students." seriously the email i got was insulting--instead of saying stay home if it's too dangerous, it said you MUST come to class, no excuses, you can only stay home if you try driving and get stuck. it really warmed my heart out here in farmington to know they were concerned about my safety.

snowmageddon was actually a big let down though. we only got 8 inches overnight and places like chicago got hit wayyyy worse. i slept through my 9 am class and then came in for the afternoon. the roads were pretty bad but not terrible. instead of three lanes on the highways the plows had made one lane. however, since they were drunk while doing this the lane they made through the snow swerved in and out of the lines and multiple times would switch from the middle lane to the right lane for no reason. which meant if you were passing someone in the cleared lane by driving on the snow-covered right lane, you had to be careful because the cleared lane would lead right into where you were with no warning. even worse was parking in ann arbor. my devious plot of never paying for parking and parking on streets like white was foiled by the mountains of snow the plows had put in those spots. after getting stuck twice i decided to park in a structure and support the city of ann arbor.

what else is new? oh last week michigan's basketball team (the men!) beat some team from east lansing IN east lansing for the first time in 11 years. i went with suzanne to prom med school gala last weekend at the motor city casino and got a lap dance from one of wayne's doormen who decided to drunkenly crash the party. he kept telling me i was the most beautiful man alive, so i decided he had earned the right to give me a lap dance.

jamesy, i like your reunion plan, the only problem is that it's right in the middle of my (and probably Nathan's) summer gigs. which means it would be hard for us to get away, even for a weekend. i suggest august or may, although i don't know the exact date of the program so other times may work too. also, wear the ref's jersey with sunglasses, duh.

props to you and jake for keeping up the blog. hope everyone's doing well.

puppies,
