Day 16 - Wednesday, 10/6/10

This morning I got a ride from Stephanie to work, which totally rules because we work really close to each other but usually do not carpool because our hours are different. With her assistance, I actually got to work on time for a change. Hello!

It was a beautiful day.

To get home that evening, I decided to take the FREE Charm City Circulator to Penn Station and then hop on the Hopkins shuttle to get home (or at least closer to my house). As I was walking to the Circulator stop, Lauren drove by and asked if I wanted a ride. I got in her car, where three other co-workers were carpooling and we drove to Mt. Vernon.

I then walked towards Penn Station and came upon these gems:

Temping...

Anyway, after taking the Hopkins shuttle and walking home from the stop I got on my bike and headed to Rocket to Venus to celebrate Moira's 26th birthday. Stephanie and Rufus left our house in a car at the same time as I did on a bike and guess what... we got there at the same time, actually they walked in a couple minutes after me because they had to find parking. You know where I park? Wherever the hell I want to, that's where.

I had to head out after 10 mins because Aran and I were playing a show that night so I booked it from Rocket to the Annex in record time taking Falls Road. It was very dark and creepy but a real nice ride.. I really should get lights of some kind because I am basically invisible at night on my bike. The show was really awesome Showbeast did a live puppet set and showed a video and Alexis Gideon performed this epic live/animated story that you can learn more about here. It was a fun night. After the show, I walked over to Joe's.

This is a great Alexis Gideon video: http://www.alexisgideon.com/video/blaine.mov

This is one of my favorite Showbeast videos:

Possum Living

Dolly Freed and her dad lived off the grid for a long time in the 70's and she wrote a book about it called Possum Living. They have it at the library.

It's a great book and I'm finally watching the mini-documentary, which is also cool.

Day 15 - Tuesday, 10/5/10

Today I decided to take the bus to work but unfortunately couldn't force myself out of bed early enough to catch the correct one. Instead of getting the 64 which would bring me right to work in a timely manner, I groggily stepped onto the 61, which only brings you to the Inner Harbor. So it's like 8:07am and I need to be at work at 8am and it takes like 25-30 minutes to walk from the Inner Harbor to my office. So..... what do I do? Walk. Luckily my friend/co-worker Lauren happened to drive by as I trekked down the trail of tears and picked me up. I was very lucky, although I still got to work hell of late, it could have been worse. After work, another friend/co-worker, Becca, and I went back to my place and then to Joann's for costume making supplies (I'm making hers). Then she dropped me off at home.

Oh, today I also reserved a zipcar for Saturday. Sara and I are planning a "day trip" in a "hybrid" for "free". Details will be forth coming.

Day 14 - Monday, 10/4/10

Drove to work. It is Monday, afterall. Anyway, after DRIVING home I gathered up my knitting and walked to the Johns Hopkins shuttle stop and took the shuttle to Penn Station. I then went to Janell's house and did crafts while watching cable. After wards, I walked to Joe's.

Day 13 - Sunday, 10/3/10

Today sucked. It rained and I did nothing.
