Ode to Snow

This morning began like most others. I spent the most of the very early morning stumbling my way across the world wide web in search of the obscure, horrifying and entertaining. I succeeded. By the way, I'm not really doing an ad for stumbleupon.com, but if you ever decide that that f-word that consumes peoples lives (and very possibly souls) isn't enough to keep you entertained anymore during your free time, I would go to this site, and sign up for it. It's free, and you basically click little things that you are interested in. Like I picked music, online games, funny, cooking, and a few others. Then it puts a toolbar in your browser and you hit stumble and BAM! Be entertained for hours without actually having to think of things to type, Stumble will do it for you. I'm almost certain this will triple your usage, oh great Stumble. Now pay me! ;P

OK so I dislike that I cannot tab to indent on this. Stupid.

Anyway, I then went to bed, because my computer crashed. I woke up to my alarms about four hours later. The only way to actually drag myself, actually probably any moose, out of a bed is with a bare minimum of three alarms. I use five. And they are strategically placed at all corners of my room. In college, I usually didn't need this, because I roomed with Monkey, and he almost always got me up in the morning. Or the sheer desire to play WoW all day did. Or melodic thuds from the room down the hall to the right. One of those three. Fun fact #1 about Monkey: When he is like just past falling asleep, he will do one of two things, the first being shaking his head very rapidly on the pillow he happens to be lying on. The second is kicking his feet like a kid that is just learning how to swim. Makes me laugh every time. It also let me know when I could go about playing the game I invented in college. I don't think he knew it was a game, but I'll probably make a post entitled "The Game" later, so try not to be confused about it for now.

Anyway, both of those paragraphs are a result of pure over tiredness and my English Toffee cappuccino wearing off. So like I was saying, to get a moose out of bed, place the bare minimum of three alarm clocks around the room so that the moose actually has to get up out of bed, find the source of the cacophony, shut it off, and then go back to bed. This takes at least three attempts before it will actually stay out of bed, mostly because he is too tired to deal with any more frustration in anywhere from 3-7 minutes. So that is how I got up, angry and bitter, (don't worry, I am always angry and bitter of my alarm barrage in the morning) I went and turned on my light, which did nothing, because I broke it 3 months ago and am still convinced that if i really really want it to the bulbs will magically replace themselves. So I stumbled ( literally, not another website promo) to my blinds and yanked them open and started my day with a profanity. It began with 's'.

My entire lawn was covered in snow. Not like the one possible inches that the weather lady said... like four Effing inches. I was just mad. This year in Wisconsin, we had too much snow anyway. And as I'm getting older I am realizing how much I hate long winters. Like we had this amazing March near the end, like 70-80 degrees a week straight. It's like God is up there going "Oh, you wanted spring?? Well, I changed my mind. You get second winter! And I was just sad and depressed, cuz heavy wet snow was destroying my hopes of getting to school early and finishing my homework probably. Or just going online and watching fat kids fall. The
drive to school was slow, I was late, and I failed at getting my homework done. I also almost went in the ditch.

So in class before we went into the lab, I made a simple note, and opened the
window and threw it in the snow. Only reason being is that I don't think snow has a P.O. box... It went like this.

Dear snow, you truly really suck.

You made me slip and slide today in my big brown truck. I hope you melt and that no more of you will pelt my window in the morning. I almost died because of you, head on collisions are not fun. If you had a head, I would shoot it with a gun.

Srsly. GTFO.

So anyway in class we made a bunch of cool garnishes and centerpieces...

Fuck. By the way, Internet, I am in culinary school. I am also pretty musically inclined. I am also single. (Ladies, line up over there.) Just playin. I also work at THE BEST restaurant in all of Fond du Lac, Theo's Cream City Chophouse. Seriously, if you ever happen to find yourself in Fond du Lac, you should try to get there. Ill make you food. :) (we do have a website... I think if you Googled the name, it will show up.

Anyway so like I was saying once I figure out how to post images on the blog, I think I will show you jsut exactly what my ADD and Garde Manger do when mixed for four hours. It was kind of awesome. No, actually it was straight up awesome.

I will be making another post later tonight about something that happened to me at work yesterday. But I have to return to work and stuff. Wish me luck! I just got a raise and a promotion last week :).
