Hooray, SNOW!

Finally. Sheesh. And it's the great kind of snow- the fluffy sparkly kind that muffles all the city noise. Ah, nice to remember that I like this kind of thing. I like it better 'cause I don't drive to work anymore, though. And it's nice that the cold snap finally broke- man it feels weird when your nose gets all crystalized when you breathe in. But, like many Minnesotans, I find a strange masochistic glee in the nosehair-crystalization as part of my yearly experience. And the cold bothered me a lot less this year, which I'm attributing pretty much completely on the fact that I spent a lot less time waiting for busses this year.

I stopped at the gas station on my way home from work to pick up a snacky, and met the guy who rides his motorcycle around in the winter with a sidecar. He was wearing a cowboy hat with a sherrif's badge on it, and the clerk asked him how his bike was running. I turned around and asked if he was the one with the sidecar and he looked at me ruefully and said "I HATE cars, man. ...unless they're old and cool. But I LOVE my sidecar." I supplied that there was no way my bike would start in this weather. He said I need a kickstarter.

Lowertown is full of beautiful freaks, truly.

getting annoyed.

Hrmf.

Stuck in St. Paul 'cause s4 has both sets of car keys and the brakes are fucked on Clyde even if I had them, so I can't go sledding with echo and I can't go drinking with Rockcandy and I can't go watch movies with windy or anything. And when S4 gets back, he won't want to go anywhere. And I have to work tomorrow and he has tomorrow off, of course. And danger is supposedly in St. Paul but doesn't answer his phone, and noise never emailed me back today.

This is not the way my superfun weekend was supposed to be going, damnit.

EDIT:

Uh, I realize this sounds way more bitchy and annoyed than I'm actually really feeling right now. Sorry- I'm more bemused about the whole thing, really.

And, I think I'm about to brave the snow. Look out, Twin Cities!
