I have now found the time to write about the blaze in my suite building this last weekend. Well okay, it wasn’t really a blaze, yet there was smoke! The alarm went off at about 1 am… right in the middle of a movie Kristi and I were watching. We at first thought it was a drill, then saw our pissed off Hall Cordinators face and thought that there was either really a fire, or somebody had pulled the alarm.
There was a fire. It was a small electrical fire as far as I know, no real damage. So we went outside and signed in and sat around for awhile with all the rest of the people that were at school for the weekend. Minute by minute tension rised as two fire trucks pulled up and firemen entered the building to take care of it. There wasn’t that much smoke, yet enough to notice from a distance. We were all kinda worried, yet you wouldn’t be able to tell. Some people were playing with a football, some taking pictures, and the rest of us were just talking amoungst ourselves.
Once that was done Kristi and I walked around to see if we could see anything. While walking outside Kristi saw one of the locks the firemen had cut off of the chains that keep cars from going on a street behind the building. She was to scared to take it, so I did! I decided to take a photo for memories sake. So that was one exciting thing that happened over memorial day weekend.
On a side note, Kristi’s kat, Moo has passed away. Rest in peace Moo.

What happened to your girlfriend’s cat? Losing a pet can be traumatic… keep that in mind.
About the “blaze,” a good college buddy went to NYU Film School, there here semester-cusp project was a short film, guess about what? A fire in a building — two lonely people meet on the outside as they escape the fire inside. The funny thing is that the man is actively suicidal, thinking about gruesome ways to end his life just before the fire alarm goes off. His instinct: to run out. His fate: meeting a female neighbor running out @ the same time.
