Clickjacking, tabnapping, and laptop tracking, oh my; afterwork happy hour; & Kinetic Typography…

~Friday~  I wanted to catch a Wolfline bus this morning, as I was going to be running home after lunch from a meeting that was being held near one of the major Wolfline hub stops. Most of the kids on the bus this morning had some kind of light jacket on, as it was a … Read more

Desperately seeking affirmations in these trying times, and a fun night of dancing…

~Wednesday~  Since I was up doing three hours worth of work until 1:00 AM, I slept in a little this morning, and then caught the Wolfline #9 GV Tripper to DH Hill bus into work. I first tried to park at the Food Lion Park & Ride, but finding no available spots, I ended up … Read more

Bookended by hotties, arrogant sorrow, a punctilious grammar lady, and forgotten images…

~Monday~  I parked up on Gorman near Avent Ferry and caught the #9 GV Tripper to DH Hill this morning. I ended up being “bookended” by two little hotties, one of whom looked a little like my friend Will. An Asian couple boarded and took seats opposite the aisle from each other instead of side-by-side … Read more

Miss Congeniality on the bus, guaranteed money, shoe shopping, and a stylist whack job…

~Thursday~  I woke up at 6:00, and in a rare situation I was unable to fall back asleep. Since I had to catch the 4:00 bus home this afternoon, I got up and caught the 6:45 city bus in, which is pretty much unheard of—as you know, if you’ve been reading for any amount of … Read more

A stare-down on the bus, being society’s image of a man, AD-ing value, a song, ASB meetings, & Glee

~Tuesday~  The 8:15 bus was once again commandeered by the outdoorsy loud hello bus driver—who I actually like in case you can’t tell. I think I’ve mentioned these two Hispanic ladies before—they each have a child, and they always sit across the aisle from one another as opposed to in front of or behind each … Read more

Sacrificing the many for the few, she SAID playing DARTS, the value of perception, and Salon XV…

~Monday~  The 8:15 city bus arrived at 8:26. Who’s keeping track? I had just dialed the CAT line and had been instructed to “Press 1 to continue in English,” when screaming sirens came up so fast and so close that I couldn’t hear anything on the other end of the line, so I hung up. … Read more

A granularly scheduled Biltmore Estate, 0 to 259 in 30 minutes or less, and a Lobster Trap…

~Saturday~  I was up and at ’em at 7:00 this morning, and by 7:40 I was on the road to Durham to pick up Robert. We stopped at Biscuitville, where we nabbed three sausage biscuits and a cup of coffee, before heading out of town to Asheville. We arrived there between 11:30 and noon, and … Read more

Shopping center kissing, babies in car seats, pitching & catching, & half-priced cover charges…

~Friday~  I was back on the 8:15 city bus this morning, and that “outdoorsy” looking girl was driving, and I immediately thought of the drama that happened out at Cameron Village yesterday: No Kissing at Cameron Village? Or no kissing if you’re gay? The Magazine Lady was aboard reading a small, mail-order catalog. She stopped … Read more

Running all kinds of behind, pondering the twins’ laundry, and a CD caked up with make-up skips…

~Thursday~  I was running all kinds of behind this morning, so being too late for the 8:15 city bus, I drove up to the Wolfline #9 Greek Village stop up on Gorman Street close to Avent Ferry Road, where I haven’t parked since they completed the repaving of Gorman. It’s obvious that you are once again allowed … Read more

08-08-08/09-09-09/10-10-10 siblings, an all-day event of “Turning Older,” and GLEEful dancing…

~Wednesday~  I arrived at the bus stop at 7:48, and it hadn’t come by 8:00, so I drove down the street to catch the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Kaplan and Gorman. In that short drive, I heard on a morning radio show that a couple just had their third baby on 10-10-10. What … Read more
