How to be gravely disconcerted.

I was working on zombywoof's Champions character on the train this morning. Deep in hack mode, I registered the fact that the train had stopped, but thought we were only at the Secaucus transfer, where world + dog usually gets out, not at Hoboken (end of the line, where I get off). After several minutes, it occurred to me that we hadn't moved yet; I looked up and realized the train was completely empty. Gosh, that's unusual after Secaucus...look out window. Oh, it's Hoboken. I started packing up my troubles, but then heard the little faint "bing-bong!" which means the doors are closing. OMGWTFetc. I scurried up to the door. Closed. No obvious way to open them. Begin to panic. Move up to next set of doors. Closed. Begin to seriously panic. Look up the train, see train personnel way at the front. Start moving forward and find that the doors in the first car are open. Yay. (Though the train personnel left right behind me, and I presume closed the last doors after themselves, so if I'd dallied any longer I don't know what would have happened but I suspect it would have been in the range from "annoying" to "deeply sucky".)

My brain is still sort of muddled from instant change between Deep Magic and "oh fuck I'm stuck on the train for all eternity".

Amuse me, earthlings!

I am in the midst of my monthly affirmation that the female of the species is more utterly and regularly screwed over by Mother Nature than the male. Therefore, distract me with the following meme, snarfed from marnameow:

Post an anonymous comment, that's important there kids, following up here with three things about yourself, and I will use my vast cosmic powers to deduce who you are.
