Monsoon Season

[mizarchivist]

So, tra-la-la, headed home on the 8:30 bus- all's well in the world- no rain leaving Davis, getting on the bus, for most of the ride, then I look up from my very engrossing book (Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman- a re-read) about 2 min. from my house. Downpour. Holy crap. I had even called home before I left to see if had started raining there yet- no, it wasn't.
However!! I called home to find out that my knight in shining umbrella (quiet_elegance) was braving the weather and came out to rescue me. I'm glad I knew that, as I only had to sprint from the bus stop to the bike path underpass (hm. a block?) . Q_E arrived within the minute. Given my bag was water absorbent and I'd just gone to get new books that very day... whew. Those darlings would have been much worse off without intervention. As it was, one spent the night under 20 heavy books to straighten out the wavy edges. Yay that it pretty much worked.

In completely other unrelated news, I just purchased another copy of Firefly. It was 17 bucks through Amazon. I'd just given my previous extra copy to lifecollage who'd managed to go all these years in close proximity to me without having her own copy. If anyone out there knows of a worthy soul who's still surviving without this epic masterpiece (see what I'm doing here? Going over the top for comedic effect? Yeah, I thought you'd note that and smirk a bit at the fan girl. Thanks for your support) let me know.

In the meantime, I must pack up and brave the traffic on yon motor bike. Think non-rain thoughts for me.

It was great to see you last night, even for just a hug and kiss :)

Glad you didn't get stuck in the rain by yourself without your umbrella. We did the mad dash to the car ourselves. That was no light sprinkle.

It was unavoidable given the bus schedule. I hadn't tried for the 8pm bus, which would have gotten me home before it started. Ah well! An adventure.
It was good to see you both, too.

Yeahwow, the weather's been wacky, hasn't it?

Incidentally . . . I kind of suck at getting to know new people within communities I already know. For being fairly social, I can be unsure what to talk about after the first few minutes of, "Hi, how're you?" So, consider this an official, "Hey, you seem spiffy, glad I got to chat with you at the Beginning of Summer Party, would be interested in further conversations except I'm being awkward and things."

Look, stream of consciousness---

I appreciate your candor on all that and I concur on spiffy and you and conversations good and holy hells am I busy, aren't you?- but I expect that now that we seem more rooted in conversing when we do see each other that it'll get there.
*whew*
So, I look forward to seeing you the next time- maybe at Diesel?
additionally you can find me in gmail land via this particular handle that I use here.
