day three hundred thirty-seven.

 you guys, the sidewalk knows me

i was out of town for a bit and now i'm not. i took the greyhound for the first time and it had leather seats (pictured above) and warmth and wi-fi.  two men were forcibly removed at two different stops by police. one was wearing a black furry coat (the man, not the policeperson). i fell asleep listening to the magnetic fields.

oh and decatur has a mcdonald's, of this i am now sure.

day three hundred twenty-two.

i am watching conan on a television.
from a couch.
a real one.
yep, vacation is here.

in other news, my bus north smelled like exhaust fumes.
i watched the moon rise to my right.

day seventy-four.

spring break: part one.

the bus broke down for about 5 minutes when we were barely on the highway.
the guy across from me called his mom to tell her what was going on and i heard her warn him not to try to get off the bus and get hit by a truck. "mom, WHY would i try to fix the bus."
several other dudes were panicking that they didn't bring coats when they heard about the snow up north.

lousy smarch weather.

later on i went to trader joe's and bought food for the week with my mom, made a quinoa salad for the pot-luck lunch tomorrow, and enjoyed broccoli with garlic sauce from yen-yen.

day sixty-seven.

happy pi day!
since i was already in the area, i also got to attend my niece and nephew's birthday party today.
the decorations were a mix of hot wheels and butterflies.
i ate a mountain of baba ghanoush, then headed to catch my bus back to school. on the ride back, i did that thing where i almost fall asleep sitting upright and have to stop myself from drooling on my coat.

day twenty-seven.

just watched the first part of tonight's "lost"-now waiting on the second hour to be posted online.

i ordered this book last night; i can't wait for it to get here and distract me from what i'm supposed to be reading, while validating my life choices in witty and informative ways.

day ten.

saturday in pictures:

waiting for the bus


there used to be a parking lot here. now: an alley where a red plastic cup has rented parking space #17.

oh, bookstore.

waiting at the terminal, for the bus.

backpack full o' bread. the co-op is my new favorite place to buy groceries. it is like vegan disneyland.

optimistic trash in the laundry room.



my camera case is a sock.
