"...the clouds are burning."
May. 9th, 2007 08:53 aminitiating attack procedures *reload!*
*grabs up campus crashing equipment and parachute, then boards plane bound for Chapman University*
so... i have a plan. hopefully all will go well, in the event of which i will successfully drop in on Chapman. if not... then i'll be a greasy smear on the pavement.
*please do not take this literally*
either way... i'm finding a way. i already contacted my accomplice. unfortunately, the walkie-talkie isn't quite as instantly two-way as i'd like it to be (damn you, facebook!). will try again later, hopefully with more success (AIM is a much better alternative, i think).
until then, friends. *does awkward salute*
....
so in other news! the giant hill mountainside park thing across the river from my apartment building was aflame all of last night. :P i wonder if people in the Orange County area heard about it. the Griffith Park fire? yeah, that's like, right where i live. it was weird going home and seeing this giant pillar of brown smoke blotting out the sun. and that was still at like, 4 PM for me.
when my sister came home she was like "should we be leaving??" and we went back outside, and the entire mountain was on fire. it was like a volcano! and all the orange flames were like rivers of lava! we checked it out on TV, too, but it didn't look as bad. i mean, on TV we could see how far it all stretched, but it still looked more like it was just a smouldering heap of magma. in person you could really see the 40 foot flames! it was really intense!! i felt really bad for all the people who live right on the mountainside. i mean, we're across the river, so we're safe. but all those guys had to be evacuated out of their homes.
and apparently the fire raged all through the night. this morning that main road, Los Feliz, was completely closed off and my sister and i were forced to find an alternate route. part of me wondered if i ought to stay home and not go to school. that could just be the laziness talking... i dunno. but i thought it'd be kinda funny if they didn't let anyone in our area go anywhere for the day. i wonder when that fire will be completely doused... it's gonna be another hot one today... well, if a fire starts up again later, there's really nothing left for it to burn, so it shouldn't be too bad. XD
okay, i know i'm bad for making light of the situation, but i can't help it. it just feels kinda surreal.
and in more random news... i'm too tired to go to Japanese class today. i'm sure missing one class wouldn't have a really drastic effect on my grade or anything.
