Well its frozen here in portland, and everything is all fucked up. I biffed it hard on my walk to work. My headphones flew off of my head and everything. Here are some observations I made today:
1. Only corporate chains (7-11, Safeway, McDonalds, Starbucks, Regal Cinemas, etc.) and hotels stay open when no one can walk anywhere or drive anywhere.
2. People in cars will laugh at you when you fall down on your way to work, but they don't laugh when their car slides backwards into the car behind them.
3. Everyone at your job will use the frozen ice covering everything as an excuse as to why they can't do their job properly.
4. Businesses that play music on speakers outside of their doors apperantly choose Tom Waits' "Blue Valentine" on occasions like this (I counted THREE[!!!] today). I think its to make people feel happier.
5. You can tell what movie people are going to see the moment they walk through the door. If it is a group of chicks, they're seeing Rent, guys all by themselves see JARHEAD, People with Emo haircuts who cant talk and bitch about the prices see FIRST DESCENT (Snowboarding movie), Families, asian people, and older couples see FAMILY STONE, and nerdy people see AEON FLUX.
6. FIRST DESCENT features the MINUS THE BEAR song "Michio's Death Drive", along with a bunch of Warp Tour/ Jack Johnson shit. It also features one of my favorite QOTSA songs, "Into the Fade".
7. People still risk crashing their car to come see shitty movies.
THE END!
