Riding in buses with people. And things.

[eponymous_rose]

Rode the bus today for an hour and a half for no particular reason (well, I got on the wrong one and then started wondering where this one might go - it eventually stopped right in front of my condo! Eventually.), and probably amassed a novel's worth of wacky anecdotes. Also, I came across a giant billboard that inexplicably proclaimed "regenerate regenerate regenerate regenerate" and so on. That was weird. Also, a place called "Casa Romana", which I will have to visit at some point just, you know, BECAUSE. Downtown is a strange and exciting place.

I also did not find a cookie jar (though I did have fun standing two feet away from a half-dozen chatting employees, looking as lost as I possibly could in the hopes of having one of 'em actually come over and ask if I needed help). Alas. I did, however, find those excellent dollar-store "Thrills" packs of gum - the ones that proclaim, proudly: "It still tastes like soap!" Mmm. All in all, a good evening, though I am now so sleepy that I can't think how to end this sentence. Just like that, then. That's good.

Programming went well, essay midterm went well (I squished the redundant "postmodernist deconstruction of terms" phrase in there, because it's getting to be a tradition), and tomorrow is less running-around-in-circles-ish.

Looks like everyone's having issues with comment notifications. I'm getting mine out of order, and every second notification or so isn't coming through at all. So before you comment, ask yourself: do you feel lucky?

...um. I forget how that was answered in the movie, so I'll just say yes. *throws text to the four winds*

I end up doing that almost every time I go shopping, and inevitably it takes hours for my friendly and helpful sales associates to notice. Knocking something over or looking like you're about to tends to get attention faster without having to actually ask for it, I've found.

And you must post later about your adventures at Casa Romana. :)

Hee! Used to do that in Santa Fe because it was cheaper than the movies and ten times more entertaining. Shall look forward to all results of your anecdote-gathering session with interest!

Congratulations on weathering the midterm!
