Yes folks, The Catholic University of America has been closed since Friday. This is our fourth day with classes cancelled! I get the feeling that we’ll have to make up all the snow days at the end of the year, but currently I am totally goofing off and not doing any work at all. Terrible idea, I know, but still! Snow days!

I’ve also been considering getting back into the scanlation world. I used to be an editor primarily for ShoujoMagic when I was in high school, and I tried doing editing jobs with other groups too…but eventually quit when the workload from school got to be too heavy for me to handle the workload from editing. I’ve applied as a Quality Checker at one place that I like so far, so we’ll see how that goes. Hopefully my photoshop skills haven’t gotten rusty in terms of editing…heh.

Speaking of which, I was contemplating switching to Habari as my blogging platform. WordPress is great and all, but it is a bit bulky for me and I don’t use a lot of the awesome features that comes with it. It might encourage me to actually design the next theme for my blog too. Who knows how long we’ve seen a design from me now? Over a year?

In any case, let’s hope that the snow ends soon. It’s a bit tiring to just see white through my windows all day.

Yes folks, Washington, D.C. has shut down and been snowed in! You have no idea how much fun a group of my friends and I were having yesterday running around Maryland in Brendan’s small family Impala before the blizzard got too bad (and even then, we cut it very close at the very end of the craziness), and having snowball fights and wars and whatnot. Here are some pictures I just took from my window…it’s STILL snowing! You can view larger sizes by clicking on it; the images are posted on Flickr.

Yeah. I have to say, yesterday was so much fun, minus one very angry and terrible event that we all felt slightly obligated to go to. I really wish at this point that we didn’t go. Really wish it to be honest. I felt a lot of malice toward one particular person that had I not restrained myself, I would have done some really nasty things to him during the snowball fight we all had really late at night. Just that ruined that part of the night for me, because I spent most of my time during our second snowball fight avoiding this guy just so I wouldn’t feel urged to smash a really icy snowball in his face multiple times. That was how bad it was. I’m glad I was able to restrain myself, but at the same time I knew that if I didn’t restrain myself and did something like that, I would not feel any guilt at all for it. And that’s the part that scared me enough to restrain myself even more.
