There are some routes that are always going to suck (see: Kristin's commute to school), but for most others, if you study hard, pay attention, and have a good teacher, there are all kinds of alternate routes to keep you moving.
The traffic is much worse for new people than it is for people who've been driving in the city for a while.
Very true. And at this point I do have several alternate routes and work-arounds, but sadly nothing that changes the fact that my commute does, indeed, suck. Honestly, it's the rigid school schedule that kills me. If I wasn't forced to commute during rush hour both ways, it wouldn't be so bad.
I've found the air quality in Pasadena to be better than when I lived in the Valley, fwiw.
Oh, and did I mention that it's 80 degrees and sunny right now, with a nice cooling breeze? This is definitely a plus for living in SoCal.
Hmmmm...I'm ahead of schedule in my party planning. I should do some homework or something. Nah...that would require bringing it all out, and I don't know where I'd work, because the table is already set.
Greetings to my Bitches! I came to post, and then was killed with teh cute.
I'm happy to report that today so far has been much better. I got a good night's sleep, didn't wake up with a headache, did some apartment cleaning, and watched me some Winchesters. And my knee hurts a lot less, though I still don't know where my brace is.
I'm almost human enough.... to go to work for 7 hours. Ugh.
Ow ow ow. Woke up with a swollen knee. Not sure why it's swollen, but it hurts to put any weight on it.
So much for my plan to walk to the grocery store today.
DH's job is trying to kill him- mostly because of iresponsiblity, stubbonness and just general fuckeduppedness. I think I am ready to start counting hours til he leaves.
Tragic news - my french press broke - of course, it only mad one mugfull so I might have to go buy a bigger one.
more tragety - my house needs serious cleaning - dont wanna.
ps - Sara has good taste - that dress enhances the cute factor by 10
Yes, that picture of Sara is adorable.
I'm watching Drumline, and now I really want to get back to playing drums. (I played from fourth grade until high school.) So much fun, except for my evil band teacher.
I'm watching it snow, big fat fluffy snowflakes that aren't sticking to the pavement, while I wait for my lunch to digest so that I can work out.
This led to the BRQG, which has yielded the following particularly snerk-worthy quotes:
ita: if you can make it past eighteen and not notice your mother's glass eye, please don't throw a fit at me.
Hil R.: Totally random note: When I was at Barnes and Noble yesterday, I noticed The Complete Idiot's Guide to Contacting Spirits. I really feel there are some things we shouldn't be encouraging idiots to do.
lori: If it weren't for these Mars rovers, my entire vanity Google would consist of reprints of Dogs In Elk. As it is, Dogs in Elk accounts for 90%.
Lyra Jane: the idea of a gorilla signing "show me your tits" like a drunken Gallaudet frat boy is comedy GOLD.
(I don't think sexual harassment is funny, of course, but I can bend that a little if it involves an ape.)
I'm wearing a skirt that I haven't worn for a year! Go no eating!
Tep, I initially read all of those quotes as if they were a conversation and was mightily confused. And amused.
