i don't know what's stranger...

that the weather here is so damn nice all the time, or that angelinos go apeshit when the temperature drops below 70°F. it was about 65°F today, and every person i saw was wearing long pants and either a sweater or a coat (or both). when i got on the bus after class, the girl who sat down in the seat in front of mine blew on her hands and vigorously rubbed them together to stimulate warmth. 65°F.

i was walking around in shorts and a t-shirt, feeling quite comfortable, but everybody around me was acting like it wasn't a fit night out for man nor beast. i guess when the temperature range for the whole year is around 35°F (as opposed to the usual 125°F range in northeast iowa), you gotta take advantage of every tiny temperature shift to make owning long sleeves feel worthwhile.

also, apparently there was a "rain advisory" yesterday. it sprinkled lightly for a few hours. i'd never heard of a rain advisory before, and i expected that such a condition implied impending torrential downpours instead of light mistings. go figure.
