Ehehe...

Last night I posted something to the effect of "there's not a lot of snow falling." I woke up this morning to a phone call saying we had no school. Yaaaaaaay~ Then I got online for a bit and tried to go back to bed--a futile endeavor.

Around eight, I noticed that it seemed very bright outside my blinds. Like, I thought the sun was out. Moved the blinds, looked out...and found myself staring at a raging blizzard. We got BURIED. The fire hydrant out front is almost completely buried. Some guy in a pick-up truck was spinning his wheels for over half an hour on the street...and made it about nine feet.

A little after four, I went outside to clear off my car before it got dark. I used a shovel to clear off my car. Dug all the snow out from around it as well. As I was going about this, my school's superintendent came walking by (he's my across-the-hall neighbor), and he said we might not have school tomorrow if the roads weren't a LOT better.

I've already gotten a phone call that tomorrow is a two-hour late start. It's still quite possible that it could be changed to a day off if the roads are bad--our district is very rural, and there's a lot of buses going on two-lane country roads. I hate driving on those roads when the weather's bad. We'll see what happens in the morning.

So what did I do with my day off? I wrote a couple of fics (the one linked below and today's entry for 31_days), did a LOT of knitting, and watched Eddie Izzard and George Carlin videos on YouTube. I consider it a day very well spent. Lazy is good for you. Oh, and I got a couple more books from LibriVox on CD. I'm halfway through Phantom of the Opera. So far I like it ^^

And finally...

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY, fyliwionvilyaer!!

REQUEST FOR RECS! :D

I'm sure some of you are pretty sick of my "ZOMG SNOW DAY" posts. This will probably be the last one for a while. Yes, I am home today. Yes, we had ANOTHER snow day. Phone call came around seven-thirty this morning. I took the call, went and got a drink of juice, and went back to bed. Slept peacefully until about nine-thirty. Feel great. I'm assuming today was because of the roads being bad.

Tomorrow is going to be a very, very interesting day in the classroom. I think our plan is going to be "let's run all the pieces and see how much we remember, since we haven't gotten to actually work on anything in a WEEK." I haven't seen my middle schoolers in a week @_@

And then next week we have two early outs for parent-teacher conferences, probably a mentor meeting, probably a music boosters meeting, and then...no school on Friday leading into a four-day weekend. ILU, JOB.

One of my middle schoolers actually brought me yarn and asked if I would make her a scarf. So I wanted to find a knitting pattern that looks nice, but doesn't take forever to make. I really lucked out, too--it's a nice basket-weave pattern, and somehow the way it's knit makes it go sort of curvy, which looks really cool. I'm having fun making it, and it's going really fast!

Anyway, here's the real reason for this post: some people have been telling me I should check out various series--primarily anime and manga, since that's where my fandom tastes tend to go. Soooo...

RECS!

If there's a series I should not have to live without, tell me what it is. If my life will not be completely unless I read this specific manga, let me know. It's always fun to see what kind of things people recommend :D I'd really appreciate it ♥♥♥
