and the whole thing smelled like smoke..

we were on our way to philly on the train, when all of a sudden, the train jolted to a stop. the lights went out, the ac went off and the smell of smoke filled the air.
shit, i thought. this can't be good.
turns out we hit something, though they never told us what.
thinking quickly, i ran to the food car to get some supplies. who knew how long it would be?
i picked up a couple of beers and some m&ms. perfect.
on the way back to our seats, they announced that we hit something and they have to make sure that the train is ok. "we will be stopped indefinitely."
i got back to the seats and told j to rush back to the food cart and get more alcohol.
this could turn into a huge party, and i didn't want to be under-supplied.
she came back with a couple more bottles of beer, some whiskey and some pretzels.
along with the ipod video, we were set for hours.
between beer one and two, the train started again...i'll admit i was somewhat disappointed.
we chugged the beer and whiskey, finishing as we pulled into 30th street station, about two hours late.
that'll teach you.
