snow, awesome people, and hummus
goddamn it snowed hellsabunch yesterday. after getting out of a car, pushing it out of stuckness, and the same with the car of the people who helped, i headed to half price books, which closed a couple hours previous thanks be the inclement weather. then sat at a transfer point for a good fifty minutes or so waiting for a bus headed downtown. there was a 'not in service' bus parked there, packed with people, with its sole intent to keep people warm. i stayed outside, feeling adequately dressed for the weather (minus feet and legs [just because boots keep out the wet, does not mean they keep out the cold 8( ]). and there was plenty company of talkative persons, too. one girl offered me some dove brand candies, to which my empty stomach and i enthusiastically accepted. it turned out that they were ice cream filled, not that these hands noticed. a bus arrived, and i was off.
got off on the corner of johnson by the old milio's/big mike's/JJ's (i can't recall which, it's been closed for a while), next to where casa bianca (was that the one?) once was, also, and near the laundromat. the block previous the angelic brewery. due to the red lights and slow movement and whatever else, and lack of momentum being an inhibitor for upward movement thanks to these, many cars couldn't make it up the hill, which further slowed traffic. yet there were droves of college kids (well, a good dozen and a half at least that i noticed) going from stationary car (front wheels a spinning) to the next stationary car, pushing them up hill. all these events thus far, they hadn't "restored my faith in humanity" or anything of the sort, but increased my love of a few humans, in the least.
continued walking home, and single handedly (well, double handedly), assisted two cars out of their dilemmas. spoke to the hippies down the block who planned on making a slide down their stairs seeing it hadn't yet been shoveled, then went home and made hummus for the first time. it turned out... not like any hummus i've tasted before. don't know, but it might be the amount of roasted garlic (too much?) i put in it. or that the chickpeas were crushed using a mortar and pestle, and not thrown in a food processor, leading to some amount of chunkiness. not sure. oh, and also recently discovered that the terra cotta garlic holder i've got can as a garlic roaster.
all in all an agreeable day.
