The Stars That Usher Evening Rose

The last several days have been very dull days. Tonight is the first time anything interesting will have happened in the last several days and that deals with the weather.

Reason being is that they are calling for snow tonight and into tomorrow. But that is not it. The predicted low tonight is 13 degrees and the predicted high tomorrow is only 26 degrees. If that wasn't bad enough I get to the worst part of it. Tonight they are calling for sustained winds of up to possibly 50mph with wind gust that could possibly hit 70mph. So over night with temps in the middle to lower teens wind chills could be as low as -20 degrees and wind chills during the day tomorrow could hover around zero. My guess is that this, although maybe not temp wise but in the way it feels, will be the coldest night of the winter.

Knowing that this weather was coming I went out yesterday and went to the movies and saw the movie "White Noise" that I had been wanting to see for a while now. I thought the movie was pretty decent. It kind of reminded me of "The Ring" in some ways but I liked it better than "The Ring" since to me it fit a little better with the horror movie genre. After the movie I went to the mall and went to FYE to return a movie and exchange it for "Underworld" and I ended up getting "League of Extraordinary Gentleman" along with it. After leaving the mall I thought about stopping at the new "Cheeseburger In Paradise" restaurant here in town owned by, as you probably could have guessed, Jimmy Buffet. I ended up deciding against it since I didn't know how much it cost and after spending money on the theater and at the mall I didn't really want to spend much more so I went back to campus. The few days before yesterday I watched a couple other movies, "Patriot Games", "Clear And Present Danger", and "The Great Santini".

For now I just sit back and hope that we get enough snow or something to cancel classes on Monday, but I am not counting on it.
