Bus slippers, building appreciation, tax diversification & retail therapy, and my drag king friend!

~Thursday~  I checked my work e-mail on my phone while still in my bed. I had a request from my boss’s boss for a copy of some notes from a meeting last week that he wanted to look through before a 10:45 meeting of ours today. I caught the Wolfline #9a GV Tripper to DH … Read more

A well-rounded derriere, a foiled planning meeting, a red-eye photo, dinner w/Andrew, & dancing…

~Wednesday~  I parked at the Avent Ferry Food Lion Park & Ride @ 7:30 and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus. The young man who boarded in front of me sported a high-and-tight and wore a yellow T-shirt that highlighted his biceps, outlined his pecs, and showed only a little bit of paunch—presumably obtained … Read more

Laptop lunch bag, gone wild sorority girls, a selective trash reprimand, and a finished book…

~Monday~  I left my house with my laptop bag so stuffed I couldn’t zip it up. It was mostly filled with food. I caught the Wolfline #9 GV Tripper to DH Hill. At the Gorman and Conifer stop, several people ran to the bus, including Logorrhea, who’s loud enough on the city bus, but on … Read more

A corn dog cultural artifact, early gender role assignment, birth of a word, and a $9 cocktail…

~Friday~  I caught the 8:58 #11 Avent Ferry city bus to Carmichael Gym on campus, where I transferred to the Wolfline #7 Wolflink Shuttle to get to the Butler Communications Building, where I had a 9:30-10:45 meeting. When I boarded the city bus, two girls sitting across from me were mid-conversation, in which the one … Read more

No-televersary, buscapades, insurancecapades, and St. Paddy’s @ Trailer Park Prize Night…

~Thursday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:18, and when 8:22 came and went, I thought I might have missed this one, but it eventually came at 8:27. In the meantime, Exercising Asian Man ran (literally) up to the stop, precariously rested his book bag on top of a telephone company indicator pole: … Read more

A late start, prolific eye candy, alligator wallpaper, and a fun night of dancing…

~Wednesday~  I got a late start today, missing the 8:15 city bus, so caught a Wolfline bus instead. As it was approaching 9:00, the bus was super-crowded, which inevitably lends itself to prolific eye candy. But I digress… A guy sitting across from me was reading The Machine That Changed The World, presumably as a … Read more

Back to the buscapades, and a collection of affirmations from my 2011 ASB Gulf Coast trip…

~Monday~  I was at the city bus stop at 7:45, and the bus arrived at 7:53. There was a new driver today, an older lady, who said hello in response to my good morning. Just as the doors were closing Exercising Asian Man ran up to the door and boarded. He took the seat in … Read more

Bad bus breath, tinny Eminem & Rihanna, lost in the library, and catching up on Glee…

~Thursday~  I drove over to Gorman and Avent Ferry and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at 8:03. Someone sitting next to me had the worst breath ever. They couldn’t possibly have brushed their teeth before they left home this morning. “Officer Thomas” stood next to me—an ROTC guy in his camouflage outfit with … Read more
