An unscheduled bus stop, the racial divide, a touching sympathy card, class, and dancing…

~Wednesday~  The city bus stops for me at a stop that is right after turning left onto Kaplan from Kent. This morning the bus did something I’ve never seen it do before. While it was stopped at that intersection waiting to turn left, where there’s a stop sign, it opened its doors and let someone … Read more

Final final arrangements, practicing homosexuality, drag her to Oak Street, the gym, and dancing…

~Saturday~  Today was quite the affirming day with regards to communications with my relatives, and by the end of it, I was able to articulate the final arrangements for my aunt’s funeral, which I’m posting here for posterity: There is going to be a mass on Wednesday, 02/10/10, starting at 10:00. Mom, Dad, and I … Read more

Another city bus, a checklist meeting, class, a misplaced car, and ugly line-dancers…

~Wednesday~  I rode the city bus in today, but not the #12 Method bus. Instead I parked over by Avent Ferry road and took the #11 Avent Ferry bus in. That ride had more of a Wolfline “look and feel” to it, as by the time we got near campus the entire aisle was filled … Read more

A non-kneeling bus, seeing liver, 1 in 10, HE wins, class, a workout, & dancing…

~Wednesday~  I was at the bus stop a few minutes early, which did not bode well with the combination of cold temperatures this morning and the lateness of the bus. It got to the point where I looked around for a very wide tree that I might stand aside in such a way that it … Read more

Google Apps @ NC State, class canceled, a healthy dinner, and dancing with Casey…

~Wednesday~  I rode the Wolfline bus in, and I went in early, so there were very few people on the bus to observe. I took advantage of the opportunity to read the rest of my homework assignment for class tonight. Speaking of class, I had totally forgotten about it (in spite of doing homework for … Read more

Disolved dreams, calorie-bagging, cleaning, volunteering, Scrabbling, and dancing…

~Saturday~  I was up after eight glorious hours of sleep. I was having some very involved dreams, which I was happy to leave behind to dissolve in my mind. I spent a couple of hours going through papers and straightening out things in anticipation of cleaning my house tomorrow afternoon in preparation for Casey’s arrival … Read more

Eating disorders, despising in others, aboard the Cluetrain, dinner, and a hag…

~Wednesday~  I was up early again this morning, and caught the Wolfline (#9 Greek Village) bus in to work. This was probably the last bus students could catch to get to an 8:00 class, and before it was all said and done, there were people standing in the aisle, but it wasn’t butts-to-nuts. 8:00 classes … Read more

A bus ride in the dark, existential sunrise thoughts, disappearing idling cars, a workout, & dancing

~Wednesday~  I caught the 6:45 city bus this morning, so not surprisingly none of my characters were on board. It was still dark out at that time, and it’s another cold day here, so most people had on lots of clothing. Two people, whom I think were both men (well, college boys), both got off … Read more

Waning vacation days, a mistaken identity caller, coffee w/Patrick, and dancing…

~Saturday~  I was up at 11:00 after a full eight hours sleep. Glorious—albeit too-quickly disappearing—vacation days. For breakfast, I had a bagel and a yolkless hard-boiled egg along with a sesame seed bagel with honey walnut cream cheese on it, and some coffee from a coffee pot that was on its best behavior this morning. … Read more
