Wind and Windows

We're having something of a windstorm right now. It started last night shortly after I got home. See, it's been really nice and sunny lately, which, in springtime when the water cycle is at its most efficient (20 min sun 20 min rain consecutively), means that there was bound to be one natural disaster or another. The building felt like it was going to be uprooted. Today's not much better, but, the trains are all running late on account of the safety concern, especially after this winter when a train up in the north country weas derailed on account of blizzard force winds.

I got that old laptop working yesterday, after talking to my friend Morgan who is having a similar problem with one of her laptops. Inspired once more to bang my head against a wall futily, I took apart the laptop and examined the hard drive, where I discovered that perhaps maybe the drive wasn't securely connected to the motherboard. Turns out I was right and now I have my own little crappy Windows laptop I can use to dork out. Too bad it really is a crappy compie and I won't be using it to do any hardcore gaming, but, oh well. You take what you can get, for free, left conveniently in your room.

Umm...Japanese people don't know how to use stairs. They really don't. Everyone walks on the left on the sidewalk, no prob. Drive on the left, no prob. Stand to the left on escalators. No prob. But stairs, fuck it. It's a free-for-all. People goin in the middle, between both sides going the same direction, people weaving, shoulder checking, it's mahem. What the fuck?
