Signal sooner please, mom hangs up on me, secret shopper, and hauntingly beautiful writing…

~Tuesday~  I was up at 6:00 this morning, because I got to bed at a reasonable hour in a rare occurrence. And I was quite productive before heading to work: scanning the cover of a Tour de Friends booklet that contains the AIDS chain that I want to get a tattoo of, scanning the sequence … Read more

The elderly stand, the driver learns (or doesn’t), cavorting with a reader, and three days ahead…

~Monday~  I did about 30 minutes worth of work before leaving the house this morning, as I wanted to get something to my boss before a 9:00 meeting she was going to, and I wanted her to receive it with time for her to synthesize it with her own thoughts on the subject. To that … Read more

Friends don’t let their friends and relatives find their porn, Salon XIX, and Lacks progress…

~Sunday~ This secret from today’s collection at PostSecret reminded me that I’ve had a conversation about this with many a gay friend. I, personally, have no concerns at all about anything of mine found after I die. These “write-in e-mails” were included after that postcard: —–email—– I cleaned out my ex-husband’s apartment when he died … Read more

A trashy (and I don’t mean ME) bus stop, not lax reading Lacks, and a drag queen named Max Flow…

~Thursday~  I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:14, which meant I had some time to kill, as the bus doesn’t even leave its origin, which is about four stops before mine, until 8:15. I spent some of that wait time deleting a bunch of pictures from my phone—most of them of things that … Read more

Nice snake, chick musac, Libra bonds, net worth it, a death, & late-night work…

~Wednesday~  Because I had to leave work at 4:00 today, I was up at 6:00 and into the office by 7:30, via a Wolfline bus from the Avent Ferry Park & Ride. A cute guy sat across from me intermittently drinking coffee from a large travel mug and listening to something that emanated from his … Read more

Shivering for his toes, a mis-calendaring, expen$ive pill$, and ahead of schedule reading…

~Tuesday~  I made random good decisions today that started my day off on a good note. I chose to wear long pants (I’ve worn shorts for the past week), and it was cold out. I grabbed my umbrella at the last minute, and there were tiny rain drops on my windshield. And I pulled up … Read more

Senior seats & coffee, D-Day@work, an intellectual boner, and an immortal life…

~Friday~  I parked on Gorman Street, crossed the street, and got on the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus pulling up. The bus was sparse for a change, which was good, but we got behind a school bus, which wasn’t good, making it a slow ride in. Some might argue that ours is a school bus, … Read more

Blue, young, and able; a litigious society; (unresolved tension; & a cast crashes TPPN…

~Thursday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:17 and the bus arrived at 8:21. A minute ahead of schedule if you buy 8:22 as the mode. A little mixed race boy sat with his very white mother, who had shocking red hair, played with some sort of gadget that spoke in one of … Read more

A seat change, Isaiah on the Kindle, a LaToyaless house, & the African Diaspora Film Festival…

~Wednesday~  I caught the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus, to which I ran from my parking spot to catch. Although it was only the second stop, all of the seats were already taken and there were already students standing in the aisle. That’s just crazy. I had a glorious work day of no meetings. I … Read more

Endearing egg yolks, Diet Squirt, scar-on-scar action, car damage assessment, & Glee…

~Tuesday~  I left my house by car at 8:18 and just missed both the Wolfline #1 and #9 buses. I checked the buses’ GPS via TVS and chose the #9 stop, as it was next to come. As I waited, I realized that I’d forgotten my hard-boiled egg whites this morning to go with my … Read more
