Sometimes I write posts and keep them as drafts forever. Later, I remember about these drafts and peruse them.
This one is particularly old; dating back almost a couple of years. Enjoy.
Route 210/What would you do for $20?
On Friday, I Metro’d my way down to Marina Del Rey’s University of Southern California campus to participate in a computer messenger/technology study. The commute South meant transferring between three buses.
I don’t have my driver’s license. I’m teased about this – especially when I go home to Ottawa. In all honesty, I think I’d make a terrible driver. I have a strange fear of movement-outside-of-my-control (if that even is a fear – doctors?). Downhill skiing, downward escalators, and being in a fast car all slightly spook me, for example. It’s not THAT bad, I’ve gone skiing and I (very rarely) take the downward escalator, but there is something going on with this “fear” of mine which makes me very happy to Metro my way through life. I will likely always live in a big city with a good public transport system.
I’d never before taken the 210 South Bay/Galleria. This 45 minute ride was nothing out of the ordinary, yet, it filled me with warmth and happiness. Americans – Angelenos from my perspective – are really quite a different species.

Riveting, non?
Later that night, chances are VERY HIGH that I watched this:
