To Chicago I go...Public Transportation is in Effect

Tuesday Nov 25, 2003

I'm leaving on a jet plane...i know when i'll be back again...

Anyway, saw Kill Bill Vol. I last night. Though my friend Cara was absolutely shocked by the gore and violence and I cannot say I loved every moment of dismemberment glory myself, this was an Excellent film! Both mocking itself and other action films along the way, Kill Bill, challenges for one of the greatest action films of all time. The concept is simple but credible and the thoughtful structure and character development made for an absolutely entertaining film.

I had to take a bus to work today. The idea was simple, bring luggage to work on monday via car, leave car parked today, and arrive by bus with carry ons. Well thats a simple plan when I get up when the alarm says what up. But of course I snoozed away a good 45 minutes. So it was a speed shower and shave for me as I rushed my way down to the bus stop. When I exited my front door, there she was. The 43. I knew she saw me and I knew she didn't want to stop. But I also knew if I could beat her to the corner she would have to.

43 already travelling at 15 miles an hour... advantage bus
Jeremy with guitar and backpack in hand...advantage bus
Truck slightly blocking righthand lane....advantage Jeremy
Stale Green Light...advantage Jeremy

Somehow I managed to cross against the red weaving through traffic and was safely to the stop before the ol' 43 could blow me by. Take that I thought as I boarded, realizing I still had a race against father time to win and not much to do but sit back and rely on my once rival, the 43, to hurry the hell up.

Long story short, the bus was empty, no one was seemingly travelling on our route because most of the stops were empty. I got to work in record time. The principal even commented that I was earlier than usual today.

Thanks 43, thanks. Now I must trust your close cousin, the Bart, to get me to the airport on time, where I must then place my faith in United to deliver me safely and in a timely fashion from their second biggest hub, SF, to their central hub, Chicago.

Enough already, just come to my shows Chicagoland! Peace, I'm outtie.
