@work: Notes on Taking the Bus
- It takes three times the time to get to work by bus than car. I drive here in under 10 minutes, taking the orange line (which includes walking to Chandler and Laurel, walking from Lankershim and Chandler to Lankershim and Magnolia and bus waiting time) is about 30.
- I should wear tennis shoes instead of loafers. Loafers should go in my backpack just like Melanie Griffith in Working Girl. I don't think, however, that I will be wearing velcro Reeboks and puffy socks.
- I also shouldn't forget to bring my work ID.
- Interesting people of note at the bus stop: the cute girl with the sparkly pants and military cap reading some Ken Follett and the drunk looking guitarist who strummed and yelped at inconsistent intervals and looked like he smelled bad. He didn't get on the bus with us.
- Best thing about taking the bus: Getting 10 pages into Love Is A Mix Tape which is already funny, sad and thoroughly engaging. I'm going to blow through the book. I'm also going to finally listen to my last.fm recommendations and give Pavement a try. And make a mix tape to do chores by which will include lots of songs with familiar lyrics that I can belt out. I'm guessing Louis Prima will hold position #1 in some form or fashion. When I'm dusting, I like to sing out, sister.
