Random Weekend Happenings
Oct. 1st, 2007 08:57 pmJust wanted to mention two random things that happened this weekend, just to make it a little more interesting.
1. A bus I was riding on had an accident. This has never happened to me before, and of course I ride the bus ALL the time. It really wasn't a big deal, barely an accident, but it was so unusual that it merits a mention He must have been a new driver, because what happened is that he turned down the wrong road. So then (like an idiot) he starts to back up. I mean I know he maybe didn't think he could figure out a way to get right, but still! And it was one of the bendy buses too, which are long and unwieldy. (I think a double-decker would be easier to maneuver.) So he's backing up and trying to turn at the same time, and everyone behind us is honking and trying to back up to get out of the way, and then he ran into someone. Lovely. So we all had to get out and change buses and all this jazz. So much excitement.
2. Star sighting! The place I was headed to on the bus was this scrapbook/stamping/papercraft fair that my mom was meeting me at. So that was pretty cool. But just as we were leaving, I turned around and there right in front of me was Helena Bonham Carter! Just standing in front of me. Very cool person to see. Oh, and that reminds me (on the topic of star sightings) that a few weeks ago when we were out in Brick Lane, my flatmate and I saw Pete Dougherty. He just walked right past us.
That's all I've got.
Oh, new episode of the virtual season tomorrow!
