~Monday~ I caught a Wolfline bus in this morning, and what the kid sitting across me was reading reminded me that NC State is, indeed, an college with a history steeped in agriculture. It was some textbook about animals. A Middle Eastern guy ended up standing in the aisle right in front of me, and … Read more
~Sunday~ After eight hours of glorious sleep, I was up for my regular Sunday morning routine, which I articulated in a Facebook status update: “PostSecrets read. Country gospel on the iPod shuffle. And bourbon-pecan coffee in my cup. #MustBeSundayMorning.” I especially liked two secrets today, the first one because it’s clever, and the second one … Read more
~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
~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
~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
~Thursday~ I woke up at 7:00 to a dusting of snow, which had covered my car, but was not sticking to the road at all. Which was a good thing, as I had an 8:00 follow-up appointment with my dermatologist to check on the two things she did two weeks ago, and to do a … Read more
~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
~Sunday~ Oh glorious sleepful morning. I arose at 11:30. Guess what I did this morning! Right. Coffee. Breakfast. Country Gospel Music. PostSecrets. A few secrets captured my imagination this morning: to which someone had mailed in a related secret: I think about all the things my glasses have seen whenever I get a new pair. … Read more
~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
~Tuesday~ I wanted to get in earlier than I would have had I waited for the 8:15 city bus, so I took the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus. Note to future self: Do not take buses that have any chance of getting students to campus on the hour. I got on at the second stop … Read more
