petroniaSubdee came up to Montreal for a few days! Sunday evening through Wednesday morning. We went to see The Avengers again on Monday night. XD;
Was woken up at 5AM on Tuesday morning by extremely loud thunder and lightning. Got up, checked the windows, went back to bed and dreamt fuzzily of Thor getting angry and bashing things. It looked over by the time I got up properly, but then there was the mother of all summer thunderstorms between 5pm and 6pm - through 5th floor sheet-glass windows it resembled the inside of a waterfall turned 90 degrees sideways, light refracting so that the air was blue. Environment Canada issued a tornado(!) warning. There were extensive flash floods in southwest and downtown Montreal, because our infrastructure is designed to handle snowmelt, not this tropical storm shit. XD; (The store under my apartment had basement flooding, but my place was OK.)
The alarm system in the Bell Campus got knocked out and started screeching, fire trucks were called, the elevators stopped working so one had to take the fire escape down. There was an inch of water between the stairs and the door on the ground floor. To cap it off that damnable red-winged blackbird headbutted me again as I was running from the door to the bus shelter. For the third time!! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Oh well. MUTEK starts today (there was interesting conference talk stuff earlier on that I didn't get a chance to go to).

Date: 2012-06-05 09:08 pm (UTC)Five times, I... think? The fifth time was a Cineplex redemption of all the loyalty points I got from buying Avengers tickets for other people online who repaid me in cash. The third time I was in a nervous energy mood and decided abruptly to go see it by myself at midnight. I slept through most of it. XD;;;
