Musical Pipe Dream: It’s 3AM and I’m at a CVS. I’m picking up a dog leash and Gatorade. The fluorescent lights illuminate the blue and blue-grey colored carpet tiles. Nobody’s at the cash register and as I wait for somebody to come out from the back room, this song is playing over the speakers in the ceiling.

Blurb 1/365: I love how androgynous dance is as a sport and an art form.

Song of the Day: You Beat Me to the Punch by Mary Wells

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m singing lead stage left to the three other singers. I’m wearing a crisp cotton candy pink dress with a square neck and full skirt. My dance moves consist of flapping my arms with the movement stemming from my shoulders and alternately stepping my foot behind the opposite foot.

Blurb 1/365: Support and use public transit. I ranted today about inconvenient and inefficient bus systems: We’re lucky if a line runs more than once an hour. It’s not fair to the constituents or the bus employees. Not all of us constituents can afford a car to get us to available public transit. And the bus employees have to fight for available work time that sometimes has a forced 3 hour lunch in between. If there were more buses, people would pay money to use them and it would eventually start to fund itself. But it’s always pulling teeth to get things started because it seems nobody wants to give money without immediately getting something in return. The result of this is a perpetual cycle of underfunded public transit, almost useless bus lines and schedules (except for peak commute hours), and people having to PARK A CAR to take public transit. That defeats the purpose of public transit.
