~Tuesday~ I caught an earlier-than-usual bus in this morning, and so did Logorrhea. What luck. She looked an absolute wreck this morning and was not in uniform. Several of the university dining venues close for the summer, so she was probably either not working today or heading to another no-uniform-required summer job. She was on … Read more
~Monday~ OMG. I woke up from what was unequivocally the most bizarre dream of my entire life-to-date. And I’ve had a lot of dreams at my ripe old age. It was an intense, psycho-sexual, but completely non-erotic—except for one scene at the very beginning before I realized what was going on—dream of epic proportions. As … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at around 9:30 this morning, and I celebrated my ethnicity by making a chourico and cheese omelet. I “food-processed” about ten chourico hot dogs, some of which I put in the omelet, and the rest of which I’ll add to a dip I’m going to make. For the first time ever, … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 9:00, and I prepared sausage “biscuits” for our 10:30 board meeting. That means that I microwaved 15 sausage patties and sliced 15 rolls on which to place them. + I actually arrived in Durham at the Manbites Dog Theater with 15 minutes to spare before the meeting, instead of rushing in … Read more
~Friday~ I read a little bit of Bossypants on the Kindle at the boss stop, and yes, laughed out loud a couple of times like a loony bin. For some weird reason, whenever I picture the author saying these funny things, it occurs to me right after it that I’ve pictured Paula Poundstone as opposed … Read more
~Thursday~ I forgot to mention this yesterday: My weekly visitor (sounds like I’m on the rag, only a little too often, doesn’t it) was in the office yesterday, through whom I found out there are only two degrees of separation between me and Scotty McCreery! My part-time officemate fishes with Scotty’s dad! When I stepped … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, and the bus arrived at 8:23. The usual 8:15, Hot Mess Driver herself, was at the helm. The temperature outside was beautiful, so having absolutely no air circulating on the bus wasn’t as bad as it might have been. A couple of students took the … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up at 7:00 and out at the city bus stop at 7:45. There was a man there with earbuds in, who did at least acknowledge me with a nod, if not with a response to my, “Good morning.” It was a little nipply out at 61°, and the bus was annoyingly late, … Read more
~Monday~ I actually drove into work today. The Wolfline service is in a “dead week”: the regular semester service has ended, but the summer service hasn’t yet begun. There are only three routes in service, none of which come near my house. While in the car, I heard a portion of a very compelling interview … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 7:00 this morning, making this—unequivocally—the earliest I’ve been up without having to be somewhere both days of a weekend ever. I had a honey walnut cream cheese bagel for breakfast, along with a cup of coffee, while listening to my country gospel CD and reading this week’s PostSecrets. There wasn’t … Read more
