longer day than expected, though shorter than it might`ve been. i had a productive day... finally got some issues ironed out that had needed doing since before I started there.

the red line driver is in full tourist mode- speaking like a conductor from sometime during the turn of the century.

hopping on the ft totten soon - everyone aboard is just a bit moistened by the misting rain and oppressive humidity.

not sure how well formatted this entry will be, dear journal - entering it on the phone from the mobile website.

arrived at fort totten - has the distinct aroma of sweat and maybe corn chips. many people with bikes getting on the green line headed to greenbelt.

got psyched out by a no passender blowby that turned into a yellow line. green is far in the future at 5 min away.

gently going forward `cause i can`t find reverse

muscles and bones - skin and hair... so many types of people in so many combinations... i marvel a bit that there was a time that I`d never seen people that spoke another language, or had eyes that weren`t blue.

i still wonder about "everyone has a double"... i`ve been confused for someone else on several occasions, and i am a pretty distinct person... or is it because i`m not of average height or weight that people assign fewer details to me or my doubles?

i`m dang hungry.

one of my coworkers was mugged by his cab driver on friday night - he stopped at an atm to pay and the driver got greedy. it seems. you`ve got to wonder if the cab company is liable? he filed a police report - lacerated and broken ribs.

bhk made tasty oatmeal cookies with chovco chips last night... made a good snack while playing poker with graypumpkin & katt in red dead redemption.

i brought a plate of `em to mr wood next door... he was in the hospital for a week with a collapsed lung... it has since been reinflated and he`s able to walk without oxygen.

since i started working, i haven`t seen too much of chis and mandy... we`re overdue a game night. maybe sometime when van or shawnw is visiting we csn do a little poker or morris. (or kings table?)

today, my brother turns 38. i haven`t heard much from or about him lately.. most news from mom is about her granddaughter these days, though bhk has my mom knitting again.,

BHK was out giving ChNaca some merchandising advice - I think it'll build up the business there. The store is awesome, and we want to help it to thrive! She also picked up some sock yarn for me - she'll be knitting me a pair of size 15 foot-covers soon!

Walkabout was fun, but I'm a bit sore now - went on a little road trip to the Laughing Buddha - we found it quite by accident, while seeking a little getaway together... original plan was to hit Friendly's, but it was just as well - that turned out to be a Bob Evans!

Picked up some stuff at Michael's to decorate and craft with - some little picture frames, and the requisite knitting needles and yarn for BHK.

Played my first game of The Darkness, this morning, and it was a lot of fun - it's an old game apparently, but it's new to me. "Mafia meets supernatural" sort of shooter - not at all unusual, but a fun sort of romp.

Got some lovely prezzies from BHK today (by way of a legal research gift certificate from about a year ago), a stack of pocket-size moleskine notepads to carry with me. Nice to have something analog in addition to so much digital. Not a bad way to keep on top on my thoughts.

Discovered a game called Devil's Tuning Fork. I haven't fiddled with it too much yet, but so far, it looks beautiful, and a lot of fun. Basically, it's a game where you roam around via echolocation.
