Project 365: Day 216

D'aw. We're so cute. :-D

Project 365: Day 215

Another cop out-- obviously I didn't take this. But AJ and  I curled up on the couch and watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Vancouver, which was lovely.

Project 365: Day 214

Still more snow pictures. I know, it's crazy. But we've gotten over 6 feet of snow here this winter when the annual average is about 18 inches (for the whole winter). Yeah. So it's nuts. Also I'm going a little stir crazy, with my limited ability to leave the house.

Project 365: Day 213

The last thing Baltimore needs is more snow. Yet that is exactly what we're getting. Yikes. 10 am, Wednesday.

Project 365: Day 212

The before:

And after:

Project 365: Day 211

In honor of our distinguished President calling the storm Snowmageddon (and history being canceled tomorrow!!) I feel this is appropriate.

Project 365: Day 210

Snowpocalypse 2.2!: Exploring the Post-Snowpocalypic world.

Project 365: Day 209

Snowpocalypse 2.1!
The snow continued most of the day, finally stopping around 4pm. So much snow! It's certainly in the top ten of historic snowfalls in Baltimore, and pretty intense. Especially considering that no one here even owns a shovel.

Project 365: Day 208

SNOWPOCALYPSE 2.0!
Baltimore really doesn't have any idea what to do with snow. It's annoying-- people rush the grocery stores, and clean them out of milk, bread, and TP. They don't know how to drive in snow (or better yet, not to drive in it at all if they don't know how!) and the city and state don't have the proper equipment to deal with the plowing and salting when we do get a big storm. Of course, Maryland is already WAY over its budget for snow, and that's even before the SNOWPOCALYPSE 2.0 hits. We're expecting up to 35 inches of snow. It's nearly midnight now, and it has been snowing hard since 10 am or so.

This was about 8pm, I think. Snowing hard, but not terrible yet.

Though less clear, you can tell that the volume of snow has about doubled. This was perhaps 10pm.

This was about 11:45 pm, so just a few minutes ago. The snow is much deeper on the ground, and completely whiting-out the fence. Note also the trees and powerlines. Wooo!
I'm holed up inside. I made potato soup and homemade bread for dinner, and don't plan on leaving the house again (unless it's to make a snowman) until Sunday morning at the earliest. More photos are already on facebook.

Project 365: Day 207

Ink pw, a-Mario!

(Yes, that is ancient Egyptian for "It's a-me, Mario!")

Project 365: Day 206

More snow, this time at night and from my bedroom window.

Project 365: Day 205

The minor snow that almost shut everything down on Tuesday. Ha!
But also, isn't campus pretty in the snow?

Project 365: Day 204

This is as good a time as any to mention, and direct you to, my newest blogging project: Cooking 601. It's a low intensity blog where I offer tips, recipes and such that I like to people who are trying to cook for one, on a budget, or with limited cooking skills. This recipe will go up tomorrow.

Project 365: Day 203

Another cheater photo. Oops.

Project 365: Day 202

 Aw, look how cute they are! All in charge and stuff.

 The remnants of my SLs.

And Low Brass rocking out. 


Yay, hockey, yay band! Ok, this game was actually really bad for watching hockey. The team had a big ol' letdown game after Friday's big win. But I had a good time, and took lots of photos! More on facebook, too... And for those of you nostalgic for the band, I also took a little video. I can't say too much for it, as it was taken with my camera standing between Low Brass and KBB....

Project 365: Day 201

Today was AJ and my first anniversary! I'm sorta gonna cheat, here, though-- because I got in wicked late from my train, I'm going to use a cute picture of us from later in the weekend.

Project 365: Day 200

Woo! Day 200! Crazy.

We were in the computer lab, scanning our Egyptian homework, and I found some sweet art.

Project 365: Day 199

Dad sent me a package with awesome stuff in it. Perhaps the most awesome is this screaming, flying monkey.

Project 365: Day 198

Aw! Lauren and Grace's class sent me the sweetest card thanking me for coming to teach them about Egypt. :-D

Project 365: Day 197

Ah, finishing up a paper. Woot. And yes, I used all of these books this day.

Project 365: Day 196

Not exactly awesome, but it's the last day before the semester starts.

Project 365: Day 195

Molten chocolate lava cakes. So delicious.

Project 365: Day 194

Fish! And other things that like water.

Project 365: Day 193

A screenshot from one of my student videos. As a final project, three groups made me videos, and I wish I could share them with you. (Sadly, I can't.) But they were awesome.

Project 365: Day 192

I got cited in my student's papers. Crazy.

Project 365: Day 191

The 4th floor of the building I've been teaching in has these neat window screens.

Project 365: Day 190

My paper-writing process. All day, all library.

Project 365: Day 189

More brilliance at H-Mart.

Project 365: Day 188

Project 365: Day 187

My lucky bamboo. :-)

Project 365: Day 186

I destroyed the kitchen to make dinner, but I must say, it was delicious.

As was the Ommegang imported from New York. :-)

Project 365: Day 185

A new art-piece in my room. Pretty.

Project 365: Day 184

My classroom. :-)

Project 365: Day 183

D'awww.
