~Sunday~ I got up, had breakfast and went back to sleep for another hour. Glorious Sunday. Robert arrived at 1:00, and we went to the KFC on Western Boulevard, where we had one of the most unpleasant customer service experiences I’ve had in a while. There was a girl sweeping the lobby when we arrived, … Read more
~Friday~ I took a “mental health day” from work today—taking eight hours of leave time, and sleeping a glorious eight hours. I caught up a day of my blog, did some laundry, and got through my pile of mail from last week. Robert came over after work, and we went to see Sandra Bullock‘s Academy Award-winning … Read more
~Sunday~ I picked up Robert at about 12:45 and we went over to Mad Hatters for a little brunch. Robert had a breakfast choice of eggs, hash browns and some fruit. I just had a butterscotch scone with some coffee. We went to the 2:00 showing of Crazy Heart at the Carolina Theater, which later … Read more
~Tuesday~ I caught the 6:45 bus this morning and part of the trip was déjà vu and the other part brand spanking new. I’m a poet and don’t know it. I can make a rhyme any old time. The part that was déjà vu was the two people who got off the bus just as … Read more
~Saturday~ I love starting my day off with a laugh, although it rarely happens as I’m not at all a morning person. Perhaps if I were more open to it, it would happen more often. My doorbell rang at 8:05 and when I opened the door, I found the guy here to do my quarterly … 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
~Saturday~ We had planned to eat breakfast at The Maltby Cafe this morning, but had a change of plans rescheduling it for Tuesday morning. Kevin and I ate at Julia’s on Broadway instead. I had their Spicy Baja Omelet, and it was pretty damn good. Due to a calculation error, our waitress got about a 38% … Read more
~Sunday~ We were up at 8:00 after eight hours of sleep. We had turkey sausage patties on a bun for breakfast. And coffee, of course. Our first film on our final day of the NCGLFF was called Redwoods, which started out with an unexpected short film before it, whose credits that started running after about … Read more
~Saturday~ I was so caught up in devising Friday’s blog entry that when I looked at the clock at 1:23, I said, “Damn! I’ve got to leave in seven minutes!” After a very quick shower, I headed off to Durham, where I picked up Robert at about 2:05, making it to our 2:35 film with … Read more
~Friday~ I caught the 7:15 bus in this morning, one of the earlier ones I’ve taken since starting riding, and it was surprisingly empty, in other words, boring. I wanted to get to work early so I could leave early, as I had to be in Durham by 4:45 this afternoon. I had a busy … Read more
