I missed my train to Philly. For some reason, I thought I was leaving at 6, even though the last train out of WBG is always, always, always 4:45. I realized this at 4:45. We got there at 4:55 and guess what was actually on time? The train. Wow.
This is the first time I've ever done this. But, really, I guess it's for the better? We rushed out of here so fast, I forgot my water and my coat for colder weather. I hate being rushed when I travel, too. The guy at the station was incredibly nice, rebooked me for tomorrow morning--no questions asked. Plus, it's a better view during the day time? The only problem is that the $30-50 I was hoping to save by going on Saturday night instead of Easter Sunday went into paying for the $107 (!!! WHAT?!) ticket to Philly. Drat.
But! Spring break goes on and, after kicking myself for a good 30-45 minutes, I asked David if he wanted to go to a movie. We went to see Doomsday. If you're in the mood for a ridiculously gory, bloody, and hilarious action movie-- do it. You'll also see a trailer for one incredibly freaky looking movie, called The Strangers. Supposedly, it's based on a "true story", but you can't find anything about it on the internet.
Also, this week's episode of This American Life, "The Ghost of Bobby Dunbar", is simply amazing. I was lucky enough to finally catch the airing of TAL since I left my teacher work day at 1 PM. WHRV apparently hates people listening to TAL and airs it every Friday from 1-2 P.M., so I always miss it. I was absolutely fascinated by this story, it was amazing. If you missed it, get the podcast and listen to it! Another good one to get the podcast for is "Shouting Across the Divide", which is about Muslims and non-Muslisms communicating. The first part of it almost made me cry.
Also #2, my birthday is coming up (JK! It's in a few months, but let's just say it's soon). Would you like to buy me an iPodcase for my cold, scratched up iPod? Or how about a new wallet? Or a reusable lunch bag? I really need to stop looking at cute things on the internet.
