11.10.2010

Shirtless man with a bright red mohawk juggling, or at least moving about in a magical way, a glass orb right in front of my building around noon today. Why? And, who? And where was the shirt? It was a chilly day, though another lovely, sunny one.

A cacophony of human smells on the bus that began with a woman smelling of grain alcohol around 9am but luckily didn't follow the logical turns of possible odors and just petered out in a strange array of different smells of men who wouldn't have been wasting their time if they'd washed up this morning. And then a rapidly escalating disagreement about whether or not a fare was paid, leading me to think it might be best to make everyone pay for bus service up front, so as to avoid any hurt feelings upon exit.

  1. I had a little metro adventure today. Remember the time we saw those Lil Kim protesters? Today there was a very loud woman who took offense at another woman trying to get on a crowded train with her child in a stroller. The loud woman made a scene about there not being room (she was probably right) and the other woman did not succeed in getting on. Then the loud woman proclaimed to the rest of us that the mother was trying to kill her child by having the metro doors close on it, which would have stopped the train and then we all would have been pissed. She also informed that she was going to post the incident on Facebook when she got home. Wish you had been there.
