I was just thinking of my morning routine, particularly now that I've been taking the bus more often. There are some faces I've gotten a bit used to seeing in my commute before and after work. This is a pretty random entry, I'll admit.
- The late-20s/early-30s woman who's been reading a book on Ancient Greece. She talks with one of the people on the bus only briefly and then goes to her book. Today I found out her name is Summer thanks to another passenger who addressed her as such. She gets on the bus, sits in the back, has about a minute of smalltalk with another passenger, and then reads. We get off at the same stop, and I see her head toward the market while I head up to 3rd ave.
- The mid-40s, well-dressed, Jewish-looking woman. Who knows where she's going, but she usually passes me on 3rd Ave. She did today, and we shared a brief glance and smile. I think she's almost freaked out by seeing me in the same spot almost every day, but I've gotten used to it.
- After work, there's the guy walking down 2nd Ave. to his bus stop at Pine street. He usually rounds the corner, and starts smiling by the time he gets to me. I don't know what it is, but his smile is a bit infectuous and causes me to smile back. He almost looks Mormon, very white, and almost too happy to believe.
- Then there's the late 20s woman, slightly heavyset, and looks like a friend of mine, who gets on the bus in the morning and in the afternoon and plays on her Gameboy. She didn't have it today, though. Today I just noticed her staring off into space as I chatted with my housemate on the bus.
So yes, this is a blog about nothing. Whoop whoop.
Vegas - just barely over 2 weeks away!
