A crazy, crazy ride home: Rear-ended by a Lexus & then almost again 45 minutes later…

~Saturday~  I had a lazy, lazy day today. I never made it to the gym, but I did make it into my holiday bin to retrieve some of the red and white tissue paper to use in a Valentine’s Day basket I’m putting together. I finished up some leftover spaghetti tonight, and to that sauce … Read more

A glacial pace arm movement, interesting sweat formations, work affirmations, & Finger’s 30th…

~Friday~  I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16, and I waited on the sunny side of the street (literally, not figuratively) until the bus arrived at 8:25. The Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, but it wasn’t outrageously hot on the bus—just rageously hot. Library Man was aboard, whom I haven’t seen … Read more

Class(less), jalapeños and cheddar, Harry Baals, dancing, and a run of sell outs…

~Wednesday~  Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Another day of class, and I did what I could to check in, mentally, now and then in some bizarre attempt to appear interested when I clearly was not. I don’t think I fooled anyone, at all, not even for a minute. During the two episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race that … Read more

ROI training of type 1 statements, a perfect pun, a dandy dissertation topic, & nipples in a bag…

~Tuesday~  I drove over to Avent Ferry and Gorman to catch the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus down to the Mission Valley Shopping Center stop, which is across the street from the building I’ll be taking a training class in all day today and tomorrow. Fortunately, I left enough time to endure the unbelievable 20 … Read more

A productive board meeting, a relational lunch, The Social Network, and drinking already in progress

~Saturday~  I stopped by Food Lion on the way to Durham and used today’s Krispy Kreme Challenge as an excuse to bring a dozen of their plain, glazed donuts to our Manbites Dog Theater board meeting. I arrived at Manbites right at noon to an appropriate amount of thanks and affirmations, both for the donuts … 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

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

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
