Temperature below zero makes it not fun to go outside. I went down to campus again on Saturday with a couple friends from work for dinner. We were supposed to meet at 6 but they were late, so I stayed in the car until they made it to the campus. Since I don't want others thinking that I was leaving (I actually found street parking this week), I didn't have my car running. The moment I shut down my car, I could feel the heat dissipating already. And it was such an inconvenient timing because if I got there earlier, I probably would go to a cafe to warm up. However, getting coffee around 6 would totally kill my appetite. I also thought about going to shop around, maybe hop into the Gap and wait. However, I didn't think I would survive the walk to the Gap either. Without much choice, I stayed put inside my car.
When I got the car, I realized that it was already way better than the weather outside. Perhaps because of all the surrounding buildings, it was kind of windy walking down the street. Oh man, the wind chill was simply unbearable. I did the sensible thing - ran down the street trying to get to the place as quickly as possible. When I met up with my friends, it sounded like I wasn't the only one running. BW3 is on State street and I parked on Gilman - which is like a block from BW3. They, on the other hand, parked at the parking garage on Carol - like twice as far from my parking spot. Felt sorry for Chris since Aaron and Ryan ditched me and rode with me on the way back. :P The dinner is okay - it really has been a while since I dine at BW3. We used to go there for lunch when we were still working in CP. But ever since we moved to the new campus in Verona, going to the UW campus for lunch isn't quite feasible (unless we take a 1.5 - 2hr lunch of course).
Hang out at King Snort's place afterward - a hour or two of Wii followed by 2 movies. We called it a night around 1:30ish. Probably a good idea since I definitely want to wake up before 3 or 4 tomorrow for Jamie's SuperBowl party. When Chris called this afternoon around 1 or 2, I was still in bed. Zelda pretty much took all of Friday night (and Saturday morning) - didn't went to bed until 3 or 4. But hey, that was another 7 hrs of Zelda and I progressed by 1.5 temples. Perhaps another 20 - 30 hrs and I should be done! Simply can't wait.
