This Sunday: No Pants Metro Ride 2015
It’s about time for my favorite, and probably only acceptable, event on the subway that involves a partial state of undress: the No Pants Metro Ride! Hundreds of panty-clad Angelenos will be taking over the rail lines this Sunday for LA’s annual No Pants Metro Ride. The ride begins at several different stations throughout the […]
Car Free Day, totally eating it on the escalator, and other Monday night musings
Thanks to Katya Duft at the Tales from the Bus blog, I’m learning that today was Car-Free Day. Boy, am I a little late to the game! Of course, I celebrated without even realizing the occasion, but every day is a car-free day for me. I wonder if word got around, and if others got […]
Army of Smells
I’ve been getting migraine headaches for over 20 years, and man do they suck. For me, strong scents will trigger and exacerbate them. I felt one beginning to creep up this afternoon. I cut out of work early to seal myself in a dark room with some medicine. Before today, I never noticed each individual […]
Excuse me ma’am…
…can you point me towards the smoke shop?
There are few things more horrifying to a metro rider…
…than sitting on a bus seat and realizing it is damp. I’m going to go bathe in bleach now.

I don’t know what you are, gold blob on the sidewalk, and I think it’s best we keep it that way. I do know that you do a good job at catching newspapers in your sticky grasp.

I think I want to be Claire Underwood. The biggest adventure of the day is the delicious Mediterranean restaurant that delivers in […]
An Open Letter to the Person Who Poops Outside My Apartment
Let me start off by saying this: I understand that if you’re pooping on the sidewalk outside my apartment every morning, you’ve probably got bigger problems than I. Shoot, here I am complaining about my favorite flats nearly landing right in your creation. But come on, dude. Right in the middle of the sidewalk? There […]
I nearly missed my train this morning.
In fact, I ought to have missed it. The purple line was already at the platform by the time I got to the escalator. I ran down, taking the steps two at a time. As soon as I got to the platform, the subway doors shut. I stood there looking in at the crowd of […]
Hootie?
For those of you who don’t ride the bus, there are a few monitors that play a loop if news and feature stories called TransitTV. As I sit here now enjoying a relaxing ride home, I couldn’t help but notice there has been a story on TransitTV about Hootie and the Blowfish. Now there is […]
