Jason’s Travelogue

During lunch, the lights went out. Or so it seemed, as the lighting in the lunch room became dim in a few seconds.

But it wasn’t a electrical malfunction; what had happened that Education City had been enveloped by a sandstorm. Quietly, suddenly, an enormous wave of brown had crashed over the entire city. For someone as new to this as me, I feel closed off, compressed, unusually claustrophobic. Driving seems even more hazardous than usual, and people are walking out in clad in sunglasses and scarves over their faces. This is going to mess with my outdoor training plan.. well, there were movies I’ve been wanting to watch.

I feel like I’m snowed in by sand. I don’t know when it’s going to dissipate… some say a few days, a day, or until the next (rare) rain clears the storm.

On a lighter note, guitar jam session tonight, plus a run for charity this coming weekend. Vegweb.com still has pretty cool recipes that I’ve tried.. someday I’ll be patient enough to actually take a picture of the food before I devour it. Basketball game went this past Monday, beating a team that that we’ve apparently always lost to. The playoffs start in two weeks. I’ll be sad when the season is over… end of an era.
