The power just went out in my room (and Deep’s! But Nikki’s and the common room are fine!) for the third time in under an hour. Apparently there were issues with pipes freezing or something, and that’s why we’ve been having problems with the power, heating, and water temperature. Stupid weather. Maintenance is currently dealing with the problem.

Oh, and Jume — I’m still in Philadelphia. As far as I know, we’ve had no snow in Dallas.

Speaking of, I love how I haven’t gotten a chance to go Christmas shopping AT ALL yet. And I am so frantic over my theatre lighting project that I won’t be able to go shopping until after I turn it in on Wednesday, which will probably translate into after I get home, due to the necessity of PACKING. Thursday and Friday will be a madhouse. My friends in Philadelphia will be getting “Christmas in January” gifts.

I will cope with my stress by laughing at this leaked still from “Goblet of Fire”. OMG, Ron! So not canon, but so fabulous! Yeah, I think Molly’s passive-agressive treatment of Ron just stopped being passive.

Arrrgh, why is our stupid heater blowing only cold air? I have it cranked up to 80! Hmmm, do I still have that space heater in the closet?… Score, I do! *aims it at my feet*

Did I mention it snowed this evening? Sure, I was cooped up, madly working on final touchups on my images and didn’t get to enjoy it, but still. Snow! And sure, it was just a few pathetic flurries that dusted the cars and the grass, but on Dallas standards, it would be a blizzard.

*hums “White Christmas” and goes to sleep*

Note to self: When walking 6 blocks in 17 degree weather with what according to the Weather Channel is a windchill of zero, but as you’re walking through a wind tunnel that makes it difficult to even move forward, it’s probably much colder than that, it’s prudent to wear the hat that actually covers your ears, as opposed to just the first hat you grab when you’re rushing out of the room.

And I started my period again this morning, ruining my favourite pair of underwear. Mother Nature sucks.

But my pictures are still pretty.

OOOOOOHHHH! I had printed my final images on the standard matte paper and was quite cross, as everything was horiffically tinted green. Then I looked over at my friend Sam’s printouts, done on glossy, which were gorgeous, and decided “what the hell” and reprinted them. I’m so glad I did! They’re so preeeeeeety! I also printed a copy of “Dream”, as one of my classmates in the Santa Fe workshop last year asked to buy a print, but unfortunately it turned out far too pink and looks chalky and hideous. Grrrr. *is cross* Stupid unpredictable printers.

But my stuff for tomorrow is lovely, and that’s all I care about at 2AM.
