So last night the elevator tried to kill me. I consider a six-story sure-FELT-like-it-was-uncontrolled drop followed by an abrupt stop and five minutes of no motion, no door opening, no security contact a murder attempt on the machine's part. The elevator eventually reached the ground floor and let me out, but the security guard said he never saw me on the elevator camera. As I neither burned nor sparkled in the sunlight on the way home and was quite content to have a Subway sandwich for dinner, I can only assume that the elevator or the guard was at fault rather than my own state. (I wasn't standing in the blind spot behind the camera, either, I can tell you that for sure.)

I walked to the PATH from there as I didn't feel like being underground. This meant I wound up crossing paths with a big red Peterbilt longnose tractor-trailer. no flames, just a red paint job... and an unmarked dark blue trailer.

It balances out, I think.

Yikes! I used to have to ride in a cargo elevator every night, and it would often break down with me inside for up to an hour at a time. It sucked.

Ugh, technology, machinery... Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em...

Burning or sparkling in the sun, eh? Twilight or am I reaching here?

Glad you're ok. xx

Real vampires burn (or get snarly because they are Vlad Dracul himself and are therefore badass enough to walk around in daylight). Twilight vampires sparkle. I haven't read the books, I've just read about them.

Either I'm sleep deprived, or you were expecting to hear Peter Cullen's voice from the tractor-trailer. XD

Got it in one.

I wasn't in New York City last night, unfortunately. If I was, I would at least have offered a ride close to your home.

Peterbilt?

And the elevator thing is scary; please smack some bastards.

I raised holy hell when the library employee dared to blow me off after I said the elevator was making weird new noises. Said employee -knew- I rode it all the time./

Elevator no make them anymore.

The 2007 Transformers movie used a Peterbilt longnose tractor-trailer as the baseline truck for Optimus Prime. As for the elevator, I registered a complaint, and I won't be getting in car F again for a while.
