Sometimes you really want something on your head

Today during lunch I walked through a part of campus that generally has a lot of activity. The thing I saw that most struck me was about fifteen students wearing cardboard boxes with their heads sticking out the top. The boxes were painted yellow with blue lettering that said, "Push me." They also all wore upside-down translucent blue plastic cups on their heads like party hats.

I am guessing this was not some weird "Fight Club" kind of thing, but an event by the student group that just raised money to install more emergency call boxes (which are yellow and have a blue light on top) across campus.

They looked so happy. I wanted to wear a cup on my head. I haven't done that in so long.

It poured down rain this afternoon with the lightning and thunder. It was nice because I could see and hear it from the safety of my new window-bearing office. When I left work it was all green and nice-smelling and breezy and nice-feeling. Fabulous weather. I just enjoyed it all the way to the bus stop instead of reading my book.

Two of my friends who live around here also discuss the weather in their blogs. But to them it was scary. And dangerous.
