Lots of people on the 777 today. There's a gal with bleached hair, drawn on eyebrows, and two nose piercings. Someone just said, "I'm on parole, cause I head-butted someone."
While waiting for the 140, a drunk artist tried to sell me a drawing. Then he sprayed me with spit. Yuck.
When you're on the 140, the stops are so close together, you have to request your stop 20 feet away. There is so much brake-slamming on this road.

New Buses

Going somewhere I don't usually go today. I will be taking two buses I've never been on before: the 11 and the 790. Right now I am on the 140, heading to the 11.
On the 11, behind a guy in a black hat, telling me I just missed all the fun with the harmonica, whatever that means. Some gal towards the front of the bus has safety goggles perched on the top of her head. You just never know what's in style these days.
On the 790 now. It is really cold. I think the heater is broken. The old lady a few seats down from me has the right idea. She is wearing a parka and knitting a scarf.
And... now I'm on the 50, which smells like really bad perfume. It has been an interesting day.

Multi-Generational Crowd

I'm heading to the back to sit down, and this weirdo tells me "don't be afraid!" Not sure why. Now I'm sitting behind an old man with an eye patch. The guy who told me not to be afraid is now telling this student all about Occupy. He ended with saying, "That is what those people are about! That's what YOU should be about."
On the 140 now. There's a guy with a casset tape player that he's holding up to his ear. His 40s music is blaring at the front of the bus, while at the back, a six year old is listening to Black Eyed Peas on his iPhone.

So... the guy in front of me is eating a lemon-- peal and all. Very odd couple to my right. The girl is stylish with curly hair and pink nails and big hoop earrings, and the dude has this long sweeping coat that makes him look like a magician or something.

Thursday, November 3, 2011

Very crowded today. A little kid keeps singing and singing. Oh, no! He's singing Barney now! There's a Beatles wannabe across from me. He can just keep on thinking that he's cool. Some weirdo just got on and announced, "who's on the bus? It is I on the bus!" Moving on to "Miss Mary Mac" in the kids corner.

Just when I thought there would be nothing worth posting, three people board the bus, each of them with their arms full of mannequin heads! And one of them is a guy. He's carrying his two heads by the neck. One of the girls is cradling hers, and the other is holding hers by the hair.
Sweet! The heae people got on the next bus with me. Some really loud woman just said "I want a hut from the chocolate man! Get over here and give me a hug!" Some dude gave her a hug. Whatever. Whoa! He really is the chocolate man. He just gave her a huge handful of candy.
