Weather is so very, very obnoxious. It's like a child between the ages of six and sixteen: totally unreasonable and sucky to be around.
Why this sudden outburst of hate? Because I had to live through yet another 24 hours without electricity, that's why. As if 2003 wasn't bad enough, the sky just decided to put my lifeblood out of commission for as long as it took to make me super pissed.
And if merely rendering the computer, PS2, stereo, portable phone, and television utterly nonfunctional made me feel like committing repeated arson, the fact that we were the only 20 houses in the whole damn city without power for fifteen hours was pretty much a license to burn whatever the shit I felt like. Feel like.
Shin, you're going down. Again. >>
I don't have a car, however, so I guess I was kinda lucky these past couple of days: down by the nearest major intersection, there were vehicles completely submerged in water. A family of four from Hong Kong got stuck at the nearest GO station and had to take refuge at my friend's house for five or six hours. (They kinda walked out wearing her brother's pants--theirs were wet--though, not offering to return them, so I don't feel too sorry for them...)
My neighbor was stuck driving during the onslaught of rain and had to pull into a friend's driveway for two reasons:
-she couldn't see
-she was so scared, she was shaking
The folks whose son burnt their house down a couple years ago are now one tree-straight-through-the-roof more endowed and my friend's dad's store flooded, destroying tens of thousands of dollars worth of pianos.
Oh, and did I mention our basement flooded in two places? In one room, the cat couldn't get to his litter box because it was in a big, scary puddle of water, and in the other, there isn't an actual floor, so much as some gravel and dust, so we had a muddy crawl-space for a few hours.
Brilliant.
Just brilliant. |
