Surviving the Elements

One thing about not having a car, it's back to walking around everywhere. And when it's cold and raining outside, you bundle up and get to where you're going at lightspeed.

Last night, I had to take back a game to the video store. From the train stop, the store was a good mile away. And pouring outside, the coldest possible rain. And so I ran, sprinting through the streets of Lower East Side. Kind of fun walking into the store after that, soaking wet and frozen: I looked like crap I suppose, but my heart rate was pounding.

New Year's eve was also no walk in the park, unless that park is the instafreezer. Cold cold winds made for quite a nice of "kya~~!" from Reiko. But the point is, you have a choice to either go out and enjoy the evening, or stay at home wondering what it would have been like. Being the adventerous type, I said go for it. Plus! Puts a serious challenge into the night that you'll never forget.
