The best thing about a taxi is being in one.

While going out to take of some responsiblities around town, I was forced to walk in the rain. Normally, not a big deal, but it just so happened that I was going across town, and couldn't get a single taxi heading in the right direction that was unoccupied. Fark! I was had to walk about 10 blocks in the rain, all the time for some unknown reason taxis speeded by headed everywhere without me. Maybe it's karma, I must of stole a taxi in a past life or something. Once I finally got where I needed to go and was heading back, I ran like a maniac to the first taxi I saw at a light. I think I scared the driver because he didn't talk to me the entire time I was giving directions.He reminded me of "Lurch" from the Addams Family for some reason, minus the harpsichord.

Talking to Marc, since he is going to be gone for a month, he proposed I could borrow his Autobike. While not looking forward to the possiblilty of having an accident or driving in winter, it would help me get around greatly. I'll strap on a helmet and just go for it I guess if I continue needing to get places when taxis are unavailable.

It's getting creepy. I am taking over training here at school, sort of the default head teacher, and now I will be using Marc's autobike while he is away. If I start following sports and loving San Fransico, I'll have completely gone "The Talented Mr. Ripley" on him. Not that I actually watched that movie, It's got one of them Ben Damons or Matt Afflecks in it.

In other "news" I am slowly working through Twisted Metal Black, beating it with each available character. I finished Mr.Grimm and Specter so far this week, all without cheats, but of course with considerable cheese.The computer opponents deserve it, bastards. Don't get me started on Warhawk either. Ugh.
