In the immortal words of Mahatma Gandhi:
Jan. 17th, 2003 09:29 am"Jesus motherfucking Christ, it's cold outside."
Yep. Cold I don't mind that much. Windy I can handle. Cold and windy, however, sucks ass. Especially in a city far from any tall buildings. In NYC or Chicago, the wind may be fierce, but the buildings make it much easier to handle. Here, it's nothing but hills and plains, with a few shacks if you're in a civilized part of town. Nothing to keep the freezing wind out.
Anyway, last night was a blast -- I caught a ride with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jet_li_wannabe to game night at chelona and voltbang's, and learned how to play Tigris and Euphrates, which is just an incredible game, and one I really really want to play again. It's a diceless strategy game, and one in which (unless you've got amazing memorization skills) it is just about impossible to know who's winning until the end. A fun time was had by all, or at least by me. And for the record, blueingenue won. We all had lots of fun, and then headed upstairs to help the fluffy gamers with Trivial Pursuit.
Got home, and watched Angel on the Tivo.

So, looks like the cold has come back and hit me hard. Not fun, especially combined with the less than four hours of sleep. I've quaffed my Nyquil, and I figure I'll deal with email and LJ tomorrow. I should be asleep damned soon.
I did remember to put out cereal for Elayna tomorrow, so she won't wake us hella early. And to leave the water faucet in her bathroom dripping, to prevent pipes freezing. Burst pipes just sound horrible.
