Eee! I'm back, I'm back!

And now catching up. See, this account? Is on Madcow, the cluster that was down the longest. But they have it back now! I have actual stuff to say but want to read first.

Yes, I am a sad addict. And I also wish they had structured the site so you could log in when your cluster was down. And, say, view your friends-list - the ones who are not on downed clusters. Oh, well. Back now.

Catchup. A few links and the past couple days.

Cute cat!

Pardon me while I laugh madly at this Dork Tower

Death by cute

A very strange sign indeed.

Friday went well in spite of the poor sleep, but I didn't roleplay that night after all. Partly due to being tired, partly due to OOC confusion. (The problem being, I was tired enough to just decide that missing the scene was easier than dealing with the confusion or challenging it.) On the whole, I'm not sorry - as far as I know, that scene was still running when I went to bed, anyway. And I needed to sleep then.

Spent most of yesterday playing World of Warcraft with Scott - we have a pair of characters now of a level to group together and it's much fun. Today I have had two scenes online and am feeling pretty good about that. Listening to music right now on the speakers that Scott dug out to hook to the Win98 machine that I use for that. (Because I stole its speakers - not as good as these ones that he had sitting around, IMO - for the World of Warcraft box right next to it.)

My parents (or my dad?) were going to come out yesterday. However, the freezing rain kind of nailed that idea. It did indeed live up to the forecast. Scott was going to go to Dale's, around noon if I remember right. I warned him to check the roads and he said he would be fine. He is much more confident (and more capable!) on slick roads than I am and he has never been wrong, and so I just nodded. He set about deicing his car. Not long after, he came upstairs with lunch and I asked if he'd changed plans to stay just through lunch or all day.

All day. It's bad out there? I asked. No, he says, not bad. He pauses there, I start to go back to my game, and then he adds the reason he's now not going: his car was stuck to the driveway. Yes, it's not bad out, but the car is iced to the driveway. Eep.

So we stayed home and played games. Today, he went to Dale's. My parents were going to try for today, but they are up higher than we are and while they likely would've made it, it was chancy. So now, tomorrow (which I have off) hopefully. (This is all supposed to clear and does indeed seem to be doing so. We'll see if they're right about it not getting cold again tonight.)
