Well, okay, I'm kinda glad I'm not on fire. But at least I'd be /warm/ then!
The apartment's heat didn't really do much last night, so I ended up pulling out all 6 of my blankets. Got up (reluctantly), got cleaned up, and faced the day. To my pleasure, we got snowed on, which was great. Not very much, but we did. Scraped the car with a smile, and tried not to get blown all over the landscape by the 50mph(!) gusts we're still having.
As far as I know, we lost power very early in the actual storm, then got it back and kept it.
Driving into work was interesting. All the telephone poles and a lot of the trees have a definite list, and I could see occasional broken windows, etx. Overholt's grounds had tree branches all over, and I assume that's true of a lot of places.
Creepily enough, I still managed to get my walking in before the tornado hit.
Apparently a bunch of stuff I usually drive past on my way out to Columbus got seriously nailed. Reports vary, but I keep hearing that Wooster Motor Ways, which is right on 250/30, either took severe damage or is 'just gone.'
Power's still out a lot of places. It should be an interesting day.

I swore against playing an MMORPG awhile ago. I tried the monthly fee thing with Simutronics and Gemstone, and I didn't really feel that I could justify $20 a month for it, when it came down to me paying instead of getting it for free with my ISP. I decided it was worth more to just save my money, and buy games I could play /offline/ if I wanted to.
But now...now I am tempted.
Final Fantasy XI. It calls at me. Claws at me. So many people I know having fun. Two clans I've been involved in getting linkshells together. And now my boss has it, and he won't stop talking about how great it is. Plus, I see so many FFTA things tied into it. And I /will/ be building a PC that will be able to play it.
But $50 plus $10 a month??
I just don't know if I want another monthly bill.
But it's so pretty...and I could be a black mage. Or a paladin. Or an archer. Or a ninja. Or a red mage. Or a soldier! And I could make stuff! And hook up with a good linkshell and go to town! Gah.
Damn you, Square-Enix!
