Crazy weather and transportation woes
Apr. 2nd, 2008 11:59 pmApril. The month of darkening, with weather bleak enough to leave you shivering with existential crises.
Today was a dark, overcast day... terribly windy, and at 9am the street lamps were still on.
At first I was amused when the circular metal inlay of a trash can ripped free from the main part and flew through the air like a deadly, over-sized chakram. Several people had to jump out of the way to avoid being amputated or beheaded.
Then, on the way to the tram stop, I almost got blown off balance by the wind. Meanwhile, people's umbrellas were being pwned every which way. I got to the tram stop and tried to find shelter, but the rain was being blown almost horizontal so I got pretty drenched no matter where I stood. An eternity later the tram came and those who could fit squished on. I was lucky to find a seat, except the guy sitting next to me was sitting with his legs wide open so his hairy man-leg kind was kind of pressing against mine. But then I realised that it was a warm hairy man-leg, so I didn't mind it too much.
( more of my crappy day )
