Adventures Amongst the Ice

I too apologize for the haphazard (I love that word) nature of posting lately, and unlike Nathan I can't really claim the hellish amounts of schoolwork excuse, so I'm going to revert to the argument (made originally by Nathan?) that there is a decidedly inverse relationship between classwork intensity and my blogging incentive. When trying to dodge a paper on World War One British poetry, blogging seems like a dandy alternative, but not so much when compared to the potential activities such as playing Risk on James' computer or going cross country skiing or whatever.

Speaking of the latter, I did attempt to participate in a cross-country-skiing-under-full-moon-and-enjoying-bonfires-and-drinking-hot-chocolate trip yesterday down by Lake Placid, as organized by our Outing Club (a wonderful organization, populated almost entirely by bearded and likewise wonderful people). Sadly, upon arrival last night, it turned out hot chocolate was only one of the beverages being served, and under-21s such as myself were not entirely welcome. Not at all welcome, actually, there were state troopers and such around. So us young 'uns were given a van, and told to have fun. Oddly, it worked out, as we discovered a huge ice castle & pirate ship, and had several other adventures. Nice to get off campus, if nothing else.

Thing that I watched recently and was blown away by: Platoon. I think I've been pretending to have seen that for years, but hadn't actually done so until recently. Damn. Good. Movie.

And hopefully, if Nathan and I get our acts together, this shall mark the return of daily posting. Have a lovely Sunday.

And I must reiterate, watch 30 Rock. I particularly enjoyed this week's episode. But please. It's funny. Don't let it go the way of the dodo and Arrested Development and get canceled.
