five blades

I used to be a doubter, but now I believe. More blades is better on razors. My five bladed razor which I use at school is far superior to the three bladed one I am reduced to at home. I have experienced a marked improvement in # of times shaven per week since using the five blader. In fact, I have not had a shave since coming home for spring break which was over a week ago, this is sad, and I look the part of the man wearing these jeans and this flannel shirt today.

Another update on the primaries. CNN was reporting that one of Obama's top advisors called Clinton "a Monster" (which she is), but the advisor forgot to say off the record and therefore she has now resigned and Obama has denounced this statement. Hilarious. They just don't know when to stop...it's so sickening that I've been reduced to finding the amusement in it.

The weather around here is no better than it was in Valpo, case closed. A projected 12-20" of snow will have fallen here before tomorrow is through, we're alerady 6ish inches on our way...what a nightmare, I'm very glad I don't have to be traveling. This will provide prime sledding and snowman-making conditions for tomorrow and Sunday, however. So...as an irresponsible 22yr old, I must admit I'm somewhat excited.

DSSotD:

Perhaps if Hillary decided to shave with a five bladed razor rather than a three bladed one, she would not be perceived as "a Monster" by Obama's campaign advisors through the heavily falling snow in Valpo, but I doubt it.

spring break

Most people are excited when they go to someplace warm for break. This is also true for me, but I'll make the best of my current circumstances, I had one day over 65 degrees...that was nice. I've been up to the lake twice, no swimming though, of course. I've also taken a hike in a snowy valley, which was a lot of fun and I'll post some pictures on facebook when back at school where my cord is.

This relaxation was much needed. Midterms will sure take something out of you. And now, I finaly don't have to listen to people discuss where they are going to live next year anymore. Almost all the details on that subject have been decided. Now I can just kick back and exhaust myself physically rather than emotionally and mentally.

While in that valley mentioned in my first paragraph, I managed to drench my foot, through boots. This is not an easy feet (spelling and pun intended). In order to reach our destination ( a big and gorgeous waterfall with all the flood water we've got around here), we had to brave crossing a stream which does not exist when the water level is relatively normal. This involved walking through about 4" deep racing (and freezing) water. We were the only people dumb enough to go down into the valley today as evidenced by the lack of any tracks down there. Exhaustion clears the mind, and 200ish steps after 2+ hours trapsing around a river bed will provide exhaustion on a cold day.

Dave's silly summary of the day will return when Dave has a more interesting post.
