just did my physics homework. well, when i say "just did", i mean like an hour or so ago, because it was due at 11 [it's all online].

today was actually a productive day for me. was up at the ungodly early hour of noon. took my friend ian home - he stayed on our couch last night - then my friend dan and i went to target, publix, barnes and noble, and best buy. then home, and video games n' homework.

dan and i decided we're gonna go on a camping/skiing trip to either colorado or montana at the end of the school year. drive out from here, camp for like a week. 's gonna be sweet. just gotta see how many friends we can convince to go with. camping trip with no girls would just be...wrong.

ok, well, nothing interesting happened this weekend, [nothing i'm putting up here, anyway] so nothing else to report.

so jeanne hit us yesterday [sunday], and in so doing, became the fourth major storm to hit florida this season. by the time it got to us, though, jeanne was just a piddly little tropical storm.

lots of rain, some wind. our power went out around 8:30, right in the middle of dinner. it went out, then about 2 minutes later, came back on, and we rejoiced, and it promptly went back out.

so we did the dishes in the dark.

watched a movie and some aqua teen on our laptops [due to limited battery life, we kept having to switch somps]. ate a bunch of ice cream because we figured it wouldn't keep if the power stayed out long. around 11:30, the power came back on, and we rejoiced. then it flickered back out.

damn you, electricity, and your toying with our emotions!

so we sat around, listened to emily play some guitar. rose's dad called and said he'd pay for us to stay in a motel overnight since we had no ac or anything, so phone calls were made and we ended up getting a room at the days in on newberry. i felt like a damn pansy, going to a motel just because we had no power [when charlie hit, we were without power at home for four or five days and we didn't wuss out and go to some 'motel' with 'electricity'].

but we went, and there was ac, and power, and we brought the xbox with us and so there was Gladius, and it was good.

power came back on at the house around 11 am, we went home. been here ever since, doin' a little homework and enjoying the day off from classes. total damages from jeanne amounted to throwing away the dairy stuff we had in the fridge. everything else was fine.

drinkin' a gatorade now. mmmm...fruit punch.

ok, it's five am now, and i'm going to bed, so

later all

Well, frances and ivan decided we here in gainesville weren't worth their time; now Hurricane Jeanne's on the way. Supposed to rake right up through the state. But she's just a little storm, max sustained winds at like 105, so even if we do get her, all it'll be is a little bit of swaying in the trees.

I want another 4 day hurricane weekend like when Frances was supposedly imminent. nothing beats cancelled classes. 'cept for doing well on my physics exam, which i did. heh.

ow. went out to the lake wauberg rec area tuesday and went waterskiing; my lower back, quads, and triceps are all sore as all get out right now. feel like an old man with the devil's own arthritis.

still more CAD homework due tomorrow morning, so i guess i oughta go do something about that. so
