A petit Salon, investment in the black, a good workout, MJ: the ultimate collection, & bar-hopping..

~Friday~ Five-sixths of the Salon—Sarah, Kim, Anna, Brad (in order of appearance in the slideshow)— met at Helios from 11:00 until about 1:30, where we proceeded to have an impromptu petit Salon. Two Tweeters made an appearance at Helios while I was there, always a delight to see both—@hughlh and @abbyladybug. I got an email … Read more

Screaming Jacksons, NSO orientations, technology replacing humans, and a nap…

~Tuesday~ Someone pointed to this video in a tweet. I’d never seen it (or heard of it), but I love it. I tweeted this today: nematome: Confession: I’m waiting to buy some MJ music until after they stop reporting the number of sales of everything since his death. #dontknowwhy about 3 hours ago from web … Read more

A puzzler, Sho Nuff, me Googled, and picking up Joe…

~Monday~ A recent Car Talk puzzler: What’s so interesting about this sentence about the infamous lousy handwriting of doctors? “I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting, nevertheless extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality counterbalancing indecipherability transcendentalizes intercommunications incomprehensibleness.”

A buscapade that continued off the bus, dinner with Hugh & Abby, and some time at Flex…

~Friday~ A cast of characters in today’s buscapade: A very attractive, very-well dressed lady sat on one of the center-facing priority seats for the elderly and disabled. She had on huge white beaded dangling earrings, a black nylon on her head covering all of her hair and pulled back tightly into a bun—wide and short like a … Read more

Buscapdes (including butt floss), tweets, lunch w/Susan, pills, a haircut, and dancing…

~Wednesday~ This morning’s buscapde includes a hurried threesome, a Marlon Brando lookalike, and some butt floss. The bus was running early today, and at one stop, three ladies boarded: the first one I’m quite sure walked like a duck, talked like a duck, and slept with other female ducks—I know she dressed like a duck the … Read more

Habitat heat kicks my Humanity or “Putting the red in redneck”…

~Friday~ I had a bunch of Facebook comments and affirmations yesterday in response to my status update about my participation in Habitat for Humanity today:  John Martin I’m going to help build a Habitat house tomorrow. They say siding and roofing. Among my tools I’m packing a personal fan. 🙂  Richard Baek at 10:17pm June … Read more

Twitter for customer feedback, buying gifts/outa sight-outa mind, and dancing…

~Wednesday~ No complaints—or compliments for that matter—about the bus this morning. I read on the ride in. I used Twitter this morning to garner some “customer feedback” about our organization, and forwarded it on to management. At lunch time, I caught the Wolfline bus over to the NCSU Bookstore, where I purchased two gift cards. … Read more

Oven and fridge buses, homosexual demons, and more Anna Karenina…

~Tuesday~ I was totally rushed to get to the bus this morning, and only when it pulled up did I realize I didn’t have my badge (a.k.a. “my free fare ticket”) around my neck, nor did I know where it was. Fortunately, the driver recognized me and said, “Yeah, I know you, come on in.” … Read more

Traditional marriage explained, a couple of meetings, Sallah’s dad, some stamps, and legalese…

I tweeted about this yesterday, so those of you who follow me on Twitter or saw it in my Facebook status (where all of my tweets end up), can just move on down the page. Nothing to see here. 🙂 “America’s Best Christian takes time to explain to less informed Christians the curious details of … Read more
