ah, so i have to head into the city for work tomorrow - of course, it's supposed to be cold as death... yayyyyyy. can't wait to stand outside for twenty minutes** waiting for the 7:35am bloody bus as my nose attempts to drip and freeze at the same time...
that's a pleasant feeling, isn't it? of course, it's made even more enjoyable when the inside of your nose is dry and cracked (yet dripping still) and the outer portion of your nostrils are chapped and raw from blowing your nose.
can't wait. ah, winter.
** have to stand outside for twenty minutes because that's when people begin lining up for the thing... the "lucky" ones get to stand in the shelter - that has 2 plates of glass busted out of it, so, basically it's just a carcass that people are attempting to shield themselves from the element under. by the time i get to the bus stop - which is 30 seconds from my house. yes. i drive to it, what are you? frigging insane? it's winter!! anyway - by the time i get there, the parking lot is jammed full of cars, most of the time i have to park in a fake teeny area the triangle between a real parking spot and an oddly shapped curb... luckily, the mini doesn't take up too much room.. unfortunately, it's those "spots" that the plows shove excess snow into.. so, last thursday, me and some other poor schlub were driving around the lot... me in Phooka and the guy was in his audi convertible (nice car. meaner than Phooka. i like them, but they aren't as sassypants as my car) we wound up parking next to each other on yellow lines/illegal area, but many do it... no one seems to check... (although i still have a fear that "special officer ramos" will come cruising through one day and have me towed.
