)! And what a glorious one at that: the sun is brighter than I remember it being in a long time; the snow is melting, creating pools of grimy water around corner curbs; even the damn birds are out chirping their damn lungs out. All is right with the earth.Nothing much to report here, except a bit of amusement on the commute this morning. On the train I sat next to a man who, incidentally, was reading James Joyce's Ulysses. I was reading my own book nice and quietly (a similarly academic novel of great importance...oh hell, it was Harry Potter, okay?!) when I felt the man noiselessly, but violently, shaking. I glanced over to make sure he wasn't having an epileptic seizure or anything and realized he was laughing! This went on for almost a minute, I kid you not. I would have rather he laughed out loud as the shaking was a bit unnerving. I certainly have no problem laughing out loud in public...do it all the time. Nevertheless, I was amused. I'm so glad to know someone gets so much enjoyment out of reading a *1,000-page exercise in torture (just kidding, I'm sure Ulysses is a wonderful book).
*EDIT: I actually went home and looked at my own copy and realized it's only about 500 pages...my bad.
**My bad again...today is the first FULL day of Spring. Spring began last night. Whatever. It still felt like Spring yesterday more than it does today :-/
