ReLo'd to BA from SD

in late 2006, relocated my angst, business, and social life to NoCal from SoCal ... just a 40-something chick in the 'burbs of the SF bay area who randomly posts about random topics ... the occasional quirky stories of dating (or not) at 40-ish, work-week cubeopolis frivolity, rambling musings on nostalgika, and the occasional introspective moments in life.(thanks for visiting! >p, b)

when public transit, clocks and bubbleboy are my friends ...

Bookmark and Share

... i am a happy person.

in response to the major rookie (tho' entertaining) move this past monday ... yesterday, i managed to take the bus in to work and take the last bus (that leaves at 8 pm) home. a crazy 35 min later, i was at my car at the park-n-ride.

on monday eve, how did i get to my car? a few tidbits -
  • meta- stuff - telekinesis, astral projection, teleportation, worm hole travel, knight rider skills? - no can do (to my knowledge)
  • cell phone - i simply text'd my friend bubbleboy, who lives in between BART and the bus stop.
  • bubbleboy bribe - i bribed bubbleboy with tapioca express ('cuz he luvs his red bean thingy), so he agreed to pick me up and drop me off at my car, with a little string attached ...
  • bubbleboy slave labor - i will be helping bubbleboy with computer stuff tomorrow night (and i get a home-cooked meal) - loading pics for him, teaching him how to use certain functions on his PC (yes, PC)
  • distance - BART on one side of town i live and bus stop/park-n-ride on the other side, for which i am grateful for the 5-mile distance.
what if bubbleboy wasn't around?
oh! i knew he'd be around and willing to help out.
my angel guides were helping me out.
uh-huh.
that's right!
