~Thursday~ I caught the 7:45 city bus, and the boy who ran up late to the bus on Tuesday was already there and waiting this morning. The weather was beautiful outside, but the air on the inside was still.
A lady sat up and to the left of me in a center-facing seat with a kind of halter type top on that was half backless and then rose up to cover her breasts in the front. Right where it started, you could see the beginning of her breast, and I tried to think of what the equivalent of that would be on a guy.
A guy got on at the McKimmon stop, took the center-facing seat across from her, and he concentrated intently on the situation, trying to work out something quite different, I’m sure. Men are pigs. Hey, I resemble that remark.
One row up and across the aisle from me to the left, sat a tall lady with straight, jet-black that was still wet from a shower. I’m quite sure if she’d’ve shaken her head a certain way, and sang with a deep voice, she could’ve passed for Cher.
The person directly across the aisle from me to the left worked on plotting some graphs that looked like they could have been homework in a GED program.
At lunch time, I took a Wolfline bus down to the Bell Tower and then walked the rest of the way to the library in Cameron Village, where I picked up my LARGE PRINT edition of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, and I read enough of it—sitting in the library for about ten minutes, and then waiting for the bus stop over by the Cameron Village CVS—to classify it as very interesting, and to predict it’s going to be a good read.
I was “tagged” on this “meme” going around Facebook.
65 Questions You’ve Probably Never Been Asked… you know the rules. Tag people in this note (including the person who tagged you!) to learn more about people. Also, try to tag people who you’ve tagged in other notes, sometimes you learn things in new notes that you didn’t know about before.

51. Is your phone bill sky high? It’s about the minimum it can be with a data plan for my BlackBerry and for a “family plan,” consisting of two lines. And see #57.
52. Do you like your life right now? Absolutely love it.

I napped for a few hours when I got home, and then went to Trailer Park Prize Night.
It was okay fun. I watched the first half-hour of the show next to these two girls, Lesbians and partners, I assumed, and they were funny to listen to laugh at the drag queens.
I left there at about 1:00.
