Two Inches of Snow

Gavin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:43:29 +0000

Overnight, we got just enough snow in Baltimore to make my street an adventure this morning. Though some area schools got two-hour delays (and some are even closed!), my street was as bad as it got. Once onto the main and larger secondary roads, things were just wet.

It’s funny how I still get excited about two-hour delays and school closings since they have no impact on my routine. I still check the local morning news to see how bad it is, and part of me still gets giddy when we’re hit with a storm. I love the way snow looks and how it makes the city quiet when it falls. I even kind of like driving in it. (I pretend I’m steering a boat.)

It made for a gorgeous drive this morning. The clouds began to break, and the pink early-morning light came up from the horizon and made the snow on the trees appear to glow. I took some video that I’ll put up here later tonight.

Ep. 4: Cold Weather and Leaving Facebook

It’s cold in Baltimore! Maybe it’s not the cold so much as it is the wind. And by “it” I mean the terrible stabbing feeling I get in every inch of exposed skin whenever I step outside the safe and wam confines of my apartment.

Also, I canceled my Facebook account and put my home phone number (443-424-2846) in my Twitter bio. Dumb or brilliant idea? It’s soo soon to tell. (Nobody’s called me yet.)

Ep. 3: Star-struck via Email

Gavin — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:34:16 +0000

Let’s get cranky! In this episode, I discuss everything that’s wrong with entertainment and what’s wrong with everybody who enjoys terrible entertainment. Also, I get an email from Tom Green and babble like a fanboy.

The Gavin Show #2

I know what you’re wondering: Is the new year going to be pronounced “twenty-ten” or “two-thousand ten”? The correct answer is “twenty-ten”. In this episode, I explain why. Feel free to bestow this wisdom on your friends and family as militantly as you’d like over the coming months. Refuse to speak to them until they get it right if you must.

The Gavin Show #1

Gavin — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 07:00:22 +0000

The Gavin Show is back! In this shaky first episode, I do a brief overview of the events 2009 brought upon me. Some were great, some were awful. The consensus? 2009 was a stinker. 2010 starts on Friday, and not a moment too soon! There are lots of things to look forward to. Another year of grad school, cool events all over the country, great friends to hang out with, and a year of podcasting!

So here’s to you, 2009. Now get out of here.
