~Saturday~ Love, love, love this video! It’s one boy spliced and dubbed. Talented! In celebration of my one-year anniversary of my last day at IBM after starting 28 years before that, I treated myself to a day off. I napped for a couple of hours in the afternoon, and then treated myself to dinner out. I … Read more
~Labor Day, Monday~ I made another one of those killer omelets this morning, adding some sliced ham to it, this time. Yummy! I wish I could make my omelets like this, but I can’t: Actually, I haven’t even tried doing all that flipping. Maybe I’ll try it next time. My biggest fear is that shit … Read more
~Saturday~ On my last grocery store visit, I bought “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” for the first time in a long time. I haven’t opened it yet, as I’m still on my last stick of Land O’ Lakes real butter. I remember whenever I first tried ICBINB thinking, “Wow, this isn’t bad.” But, obviously, … Read more
~Tuesday~ Today brought about a transfer of responsibility on the bus. Specifically, the accounting for my free ride each day has been transferred from the bus driver to me. It used to be that I just flashed my NCSU Campus Card at the bus driver and s/he pushed some button on the computer attached to … Read more
~Tuesday~ An uneventful ride in this morning. I read The Audacity of Hope on my Kindle the entire way. Still never going to finish by Friday, but later in the day, I went ahead and requested a copy to be put on hold at the Cameron Village Library for me. That way, when I turn … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at ten today, and had old people’s food for breakfast: All-Bran, although I did add some raisins to it. Technically, I suppose, if it were real old people’s food, I would have added prunes to it. I did a mixed load of laundry today. I have always done separate colors and … Read more
~Thursday~ Another one of the “Let’s Get Loud” riders was on today. I don’t think I’ve officially given this woman a name, but she talks loud and constantly. I’d never noticed her getting off at my stop before, but that’s what she did today. She walked in front of me and the back of her black … Read more
~Saturday~ NY State Senator Tom Duane Gives Gripping, Angry Speech on AIDS. At around 3 am Thursday, New York State Senator Tom Duane, who is gay and HIV+, delivered a mesmerizing, emotional 21-minute speech on the Senate floor at the end of a marathon session in favor of a bill preventing people living with HIV … Read more
~Thursday~ I read Anna Karenina on the bus on the way in this morning. I received a reminder that my book is due on Monday, and I would love to finish it without having to renew it a third time. I think it’s doable over the weekend. My only meeting today was from 2:00-3:30, and … Read more
~Monday~ Go ahead. Take a minute (a minute and one second, to be exact) to start your day with a giggle: Shortly after boarding the bus this morning, I was treated to a PSA, apparently for the bus drivers, but being broadcasted loud enough over the bus’s radio communication system that it might as well … Read more
