BLAAAHG!: February 2011

I started this post with full intentions to rant. I decided I wasn't in the complaining mood. But I wanted to share my thoughts about stuff anyway.
I am so glad that this weather is warmin' up. Even though that last years conditions were so much worse, I found myself dreading winter even more this year. This may have something to do with all the snow melting and then having it all come back again. freaking tease.
With all the snow melting, that means water runoff everywhere. I hate walking through the muddy puddles. It seems like that all over campus too. I got to keep these kicks clean, na mean? So with the warm days, it still in February, so it gets cold at night. All the runoff freezes on the sidewalks and since I have 8 am class everyday (fml i know), I'm walking like a granny with a hip replacement and no knees. I'm always slippin' and those kind of slips where you catch yourself, but you've become so off balance that you can't play it off. I hate that. I gotta look cool and I can't be while trying to maintain my swag walk and also not falling on my ass.
I just wish Iowa State could try a little harder about deicing the 'walks. It's been bad all winter. I've fallen a few times. I do take large steps but it's not my fault the 'walks aren't maintained. It's ISU's. I'm definitely not buying the shoe grip things. Talk about social suicide. I might as well have velcro shoes and mittens that clip to my jacket. No offense if you wear the grips, you probably have an easier time walking to class.
And at ten, when my class gets out, the sun is up and the ice has melted. It couldn't rise it's slow self up at 7:55 as I'm shuffling like a senior citizen. But this is starting to sound like a rant.
Semi-rant aside, I did a podcast recently for boxofficeboredom.com about Inception. I was raving about the originality of Christopher Nolan's idea for his movie. Turns out Scrooge McDuck did it years before.
