One of those things...

akeyoftimeYou know how there's certain things you just want to do or see at least once in your life? And how most of them are really trivial and silly, but you just want to happen anyway, if only for the bragging rights?
I got one last night. I was sitting on the subway, highlighting in my canadian politics textbook as we were pulling out of the latest station. Cue the conductor, who always announces the next stop, in this instance College, usually just saying the name in a bland voice. Not yesterday.
"It's time for College!"
It was great - it was in this really dead serious tone of voice. Nothing joky about it. The whole car started chuckling at that. He made some exagerated sounds for one other stop only, but it was great. I just sat there and I was so amused that I finally landed one of the trains that has a conductor who does that. Officially, they're not supposed to. It's a bit of shame he didn't do it more - I was on that train for the better part of the east side of the North-South line - but it was still awesome.
Something to tick off on my list of things to do, anyway.
