~Tuesday~ I was running around at the last minute before walking to the bus stop looking for my small black Totes umbrella, which was nowhere to be found. I ended up having to take my big-ass red-and-white IBM umbrella, which I’m surprised isn’t blue-and-white, but which works well at NC State since its colors are red-and-white. Traveling … Read more
~Monday~ Excitement on the bus this morning, although it started out like any other day: Madonna and Genetically-Beautiful Daughter got off at the stop after mine (with Sophia’s beautiful hair tied in a long braid that hung down the middle of her back), Sci-Fi Fantasy Man read, and as far as I saw when I … Read more
~Sunday~ I got up around 10:30 today and tweeted this shortly thereafter: Writing. Listening to Brahms Piano Concerto #2. Having coffee. Happy Sunday. #LifeIsGood I looked up how to pronounce the word “comedic,” wondering if it was co-‘med-ic or co-‘mēd-ic. This entry at yourdictionary.com cleared it right up for me: Comedic: co·medic (kÉ™ mē′dik) Not! … Read more
~Saturday~ An early morning e-mail check found this affirmation from Tierza, the other co-advisor for our Alternate Spring Break trip, who had finally seen the website that I put together for our group: The website is amazing … Jackie – you should send it out to other team leaders as an idea (if they have the … Read more
~Friday~ This is the first time I’ve seen the bus do this, as I’m pretty sure it’s “against the rules”: There was a family—father, mother, and child—waving at the bus right smack dab in the middle of two stops, and it stopped and picked them up. Li’l Dino boarded this morning and sat up front … Read more
~Thursday~ I didn’t take any notes about my bus ride in and my mind is like a tabula rasa about it. I had lunch with Jude (my boss, who’s a woman, by the way—it’s short for Judith) at Laziz Biryani Corner, a place we both love. She “cashed in” her “Boss’s Day virtual gift card,” … Read more
~Wednesday~ The bus this morning brought us Madonna and Genetically-Beautiful Daughter in the front of the long center-facing seat on the right side of the bus, and passing them to choose my seat, I heard Sophia ask her mother, “But what about Mr. Wiggles?” Approaching the second or third stop after mine, I saw a hot—but … Read more
~Tuesday~ Library Man was on the bus this morning, and as always, was reading a magazine. I took the seat behind him, and you know I peered over the seat to see what he was reading—PC World magazine an article called, “Why you should use sleep mode every day.” Sci-Fi Fantasy Man was also on … Read more
~Monday~ I worked from home today because I was sick, so no buscapades. In the category of “Times-When-‘Being-Frugal’-Might-Not-Be-the-Best-Thing-to-Be-but-You-‘Be’-It-Anyway,” today I took NyQuil that had an expiration date of September 2009, and which I thought was Dayquil until about an hour after I took it, and I sucked on cough drops (last night and today) with … Read more
~Sunday~ I forgot to mention a couple of things from last night: 1) There was a guy at Flex, who if he didn’t enter the “Low Budget” category of the costume contest, he should have. His body was heavily tattooed, and he was completely naked except that his junk was stuck into a hard plastic … Read more
