Rain, rain, come again
June 26, 2006 ( life )
The first half of the story from last night (before wading through the 4' of water by the metro station), was that I'd gone down to the Kennedy Center for a free performance by and then documentary on The Refugee All-Stars. It was thundering and lightning downtown when I left, and I decided to walk... to Farragut North station (not really that far of a walk, outside of torrential downpour situations). It decided to pour like a goddamned mofo, but it was a perfect temperature, the rain was wonderful, and the lightning show was spectactular (for DC).
I was a bit of a spectacle on the metro. Everyone stared at me when I sloshed through the door. I informed them that it was still raining outside. I wonder if they noticed the folded-up umbrella sticking out of my pocket?
After getting to my home metro station, I found that I had to wade through hip-deep kinda-scary-looking, rushing, manhole-cover-loosing, muddy water to get home. It probably wasn't the smartest thing I've done this month, but I don't think it wins the dumbest-thing-I've-done-this-year award.
Regardless, my current moleskine notepad has finally had its baptism, but I fear my cell phone will never quite work right again. :|
(...It was worth it.)
(my pants from that night remain outside. This is, generally speaking, still one of the least interesting ways your pants can end up soaking wet and draped over the railing on one's front porch)
