A microbial neck sprain, loitering at the gym, and turning laundry a social event…

~Tuesday~  I stepped outside at 8:20 with every intention of hopping in my car and driving over to the Wolfline stop, but decided to take a chance that the city bus was destined to arrive at its mode, 8:22. Not that the concepts of “bus” and “destiny” should ever be conflated. The bus arrived at … Read more

Bran buddies, John is a dull boy, my final film of this year’s festival, and a compelling read…

~Saturday~ I was up at 7:30 this morning, after some very weird, very “involved” dreams. I didn’t mention my stop at the grocery store yesterday on the way home from the gym, but while there, I bought a box of All-Bran cereal and ate a huge bowl of it for dinner last night, along with … Read more

3 secrets pique my interest, tending to Joe’s plants and fish, a late workout, and a night in…

~Sunday~ I woke up at 10:13 this morning, and settled in for my Sunday morning routine. After frying two eggs over easy, and toasting a sandwich round to have with it, I settled in at my laptop with a cup of coffee, but instead of listening to country gospel music, I listened to my two … Read more

Making up on the bus, my heart takes a trip back in time, and somebody’s leg gets puked on…

~Friday~  I had planned on driving to work again today, but since the city bus was due pretty much at the time I was ready, I went ahead and caught it in. The weather was a perfect 68° this morning. A lady to the left of me and up a row read a book that … Read more

A sticky credit card, a double workout, a disappunting ride to Durham, & a better Saturday night out

~Saturday~ I got up at around 10:30 this morning, and enjoyed a leisurely Saturday morning. I forgot to mention in yesterday’s entry about my stop by the grocery store to retrieve my credit card on the way downtown to Natty Greene’s. When I talked to them on the phone, they told me to just go … Read more

At work by 6AM, three yenta activities, dude lightin’ sh*t on fire, hot messes, and joe with Joe…

~Tuesday~  I woke up at 4:30 this morning, and after not falling back asleep by 5:05, I got up and headed into work. I took advantage the early hour to drive in, as well as to bring in a 12-pack of soda and a bag of individual baked snacks to store in my office for … Read more

Sleeping in, crying to the cable company, and hitting up the holy trinity…

~Saturday~  I slept in this morning. Oh glorious weekend. I devised my blog entry from yesterday, which included the blow-by-blow of my Time-Warner Cable high speed modem upgrade customer service fiasco, and afterward I cut and pasted all of it into a feedback form on their website. Later in the day I received this response … Read more

Traveling inanimate object memories, dead relatives redux, team players in the gym, and Caribou…

~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

Saving dead relatives, hours of minutes, a lunk of a man, cake-baking, and blog-writing…

~Sunday~  I slept in this morning. Oh glorious Sunday. I didn’t have any bread, which is a real bummer to me when it comes to breakfast. I made a ham-onion-cheddar omelet, and suffered through it without toast. This entry from today’s PostSecrets made me think of the three voicemail messages I have saved of my … Read more
