Nice perfume, must you marinate in it; creepy guy lurks and leaves; and a seedling costs…

~Friday~  I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus to the Student Health Services stop on Dan Allen Drive. A couple of stops later, two young ladies boarded and took seats next to me, and one of them smelled like she had marinated in Sweet Honesty perfume, if that’s still around. From the Student Health … Read more

What “saggy pants” is thinking, “Nightwork”: an absolute HOOT, and a short Black History Month…

~Thursday~ I was back on the city bus this morning, arriving at the bus stop at 8:17, and the bus arriving at 8:22, once again hitting its mode. For the first time I can ever remember all five people who were already seated were all at a window seat, leaving the aisle seat open in … Read more

A razor blade’s lifespan, no double negatives please, canine badging, and dancing…

~Wednesday~  After shaving this morning, I made a note to check my Google calendar to see when I last put a new blade in my razor. Yes, I do track that on my Google calendar, along with other things, such as when I rotated my tires. Because I know you care, I last changed my … Read more

Homoerotic hand placement, whole lives ahead, organizational dysfunction, and BS complaints…

~Tuesday~  I wanted to get in earlier than I would have had I waited for the 8:15 city bus, so I took the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus. Note to future self: Do not take buses that have any chance of getting students to campus on the hour. I got on at the second stop … Read more

Run Forrest run, a benign polyp, the cliff of symmetry, hating hideyhole, & Second Saloniversary…

~Monday~  I was up early this morning to give myself time to make the icing for my cake. It’s easy to make, and it’s easiest to spread after being chilled, which I wanted to give it the whole day to do. To 12-ounces of Cool Whip, I added one box of Jello Pistachio Nut pudding … Read more

Saving dead relatives, hours of minutes, a lunk of a man, cake-baking, and blog-writing…

~Sunday~  I slept in this morning. Oh glorious Sunday. I didn’t have any bread, which is a real bummer to me when it comes to breakfast. I made a ham-onion-cheddar omelet, and suffered through it without toast. This entry from today’s PostSecrets made me think of the three voicemail messages I have saved of my … Read more

The prodigal gym bunny, bleeding employees, crashing dishes, screaming babies, & a crowded bar…

~Saturday~  I finally got my lazy ass back to the gym today, where I did only 200 ab crunches, since I haven’t done them in over a week, and so I’ll still be able to sit up tomorrow. I followed that up with 40 minutes of cardio on the elliptical machine. I didn’t see any … Read more

Back-of-the-bus straight boys, rhetoric at klatsch, an M&Ms meeting, and 8 hours of drinking…

~Friday~  I caught the city bus for the first time in a while, arriving at the stop at 8:17 and boarding the bus at 8:25. Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, and the temperature on the bus was warm, but not excruciating. A guy who boarded at the Gorman and Conifer stop took way … Read more

Rabbit gloves, dressing to the right, a SIGDOC gathering, what lying feels like, & some minutes…

~Thursday~  I was running very late this morning, and I parked on Gorman near Avent Ferry to catch the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, which came at around 8:45. An Asian girl was at the stop and she had on black, knitted gloves that had white rabbit faces raised on the back side of the … Read more

Medical specificity punctuation, dermatologically burning flesh, & a birthday mini-stroke…

~Wednesday~  I had a first-time appointment with a dermatologist who was recommended by my friend, Kevin (av8rdude). When I entered the building in which the practice resides, I was struck by a sign that reminded me of failblog.org‘s new feature called, “Oddly Specific,” which includes entries like: and I mean I’ve heard of pain clinics … Read more
