HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT'S SNOWING

So starting last night to tonight the DC area experienced a record setting snow storm where like 20" of snow fell in about a day. So a translation of that would be IT'S FUCKING NUTS OUTSIDE. As someone who's never lived around real snow it's been pretty cool. Like there's all these little things like you can't really walk around if ppl's footsteps or cars haven't sort of cleared the path. Otherwise the snow is up to your knees and my jeans and dunks aren't really all-weather. The snow also forces you to walk with really good posture because you can't really push off it with your feet you instead essentially have to step straight up. It really works your calves and posture since you're sort of marching around.

I had to walk to Mable's house which is a little over a mile away and I got sort of lost and had to go through a street that hadn't been driven through in hours so it was pretty insane. You sort of wading really. Straight Man vs. Wild shit really. I'm Bear fucking Gryllis. You also realize how fucking hardcore pea coats are. They look badass, keep you warmer than you'd think, and they're pretty damn waterproof too. A peacoat and hoodie are totally sufficient for the weather. They also try suprisingly quickly. Straight up battle armor.

Another funny thing about these big ass snow storms is everyone mostly walks in the middle of the road since there's barely any cars out and the tire tracks are the easiest places to walk in the whole city right now. But it really makes DC look like a city of vagrants or like there was some sort of zombie apocalypse/nuclear fallout/mad max road warrior shit. It's really sort of surreal and awesome.


Anyways enough about snow and on to some updates:

Yesterday after work I met up with Dro's friend Suhad who is super nice. We went to this bar that has a thing called the ham and cheeseburger. Basically a cheeseburger with ham on top of it. Super strange. I had a bleu cheese burger that was good and fine conversation was had by all. I hope i get to chill with her more because she seems really cool and the such.

Later in the evening I met up with Mable and co at a house party. It was pretty cool but I ended up waiting in the snow for a while outside because i wasn't sure if they'd arrived yet and you can't really show up to a party unless your friends are there if the host doesn't know you. There were these three sisters there from NYC that were funny cause all they did was hate on each other. In another cool note, when it's snowing and you leave the keg outside you don't need ice in the bucket cause it's colder than your fridge outside.


Today was a neat slow day, I pretty much woke up at noon, watched the wire, took some photos, got my marinade on, at at mables, chilled there, then came back and took more pictures for another hour. The marinade i looked up online sounds pretty good but i sort of didn't pay attention to how many servings it made so apparently I have enough for 20 steaks. Awesome cause I have four. Mable and Seng are great chefs so dinner there is always great. They made cookies and brownies and shit too. Makes me feel like more of an adult eating meals cooked by your friends. Iunno why cause we sort of cook at home but we don't all sit to eat it together it's more of a standing around or playing video games or something. We played some games after like this sort of charades type one where it was team UCLA vs Trinity. Me, Mable, Seng, Chalita and Cynthia were all from ucla and amusingly also all APC affiliated.

Some quick random hits:
Dro and I were talking and came up with this fucking amazing idea. You know post secret? I'm gonna start one called Pug Secret where it's all gonna be stuff pugs would confess to. Here's what I got so far:
"Sometimes I wish I were a collie." "I can't believe I ate the whole slice of pizza when nobody's looking." "I don't like it when people try to straighten my tail, I know it looks funny so leave me alone." I think the site may be worth paying for the domain name.

Next week I only have work on monday then I'm off until the 4th of January. I'm not going home though so I might try to go to NYC or Boston or something so if you're there and will let me crash at your place I'll feed you!!! Christina's mom and brother invited me over for x-mas lunch which is super nice of them. I'm pretty excited for it.

BTW THEY ARE SHOWING THE ROOM IN DC ON JAN 22 WHO WANTS TO GO I WILL BE THERE IT'S TEARING ME APPPAAARTTTT
