Today's fencing gem: "Don't do that. It's a great way to break your sword."

Even though I'm studing the "most dangerous weapon" - foil blades are flimsy little blighters, and when they brake they have a sharper point because they're a a bit thinner in the circumfrence of the blade - fencing is still safer than golf, as no one has ever died in fencing sport in the US. I'm sure that some idiots snuffed it in a duel or two, though.

I'd update with more interesting things, but I do fencing and I go to class and that's pretty much it. Though I kinda wish they'd turn on the heat!

Dorms (and my area of the apartment complex, for that matter) have a specific temperature where the heat will be turned on. In Edinboro, it was below 40 degrees. Though, if enough people bitched to the RA, sometimes it got turned on sooner.

My neighbor has been opening her window since she put a barbecue grill in her apartment for two parties she's had. (That's gotta violate more than one section of the lease.) As a result, my a/c is on due to an imbalance in the temperature. I'm cold, but it'll even out later.

And hey, at least we don't live in Buffalo.

Even if they have a tempreture that it had to drop bellow, it was below freezing the other day and they still didn't turn on the heat until today. It's just fustrating.

Oooh yeah. I'm very glad I'm currently way out of places that get lake effect.
