Readers:
Okay, writing this blog post fast, and I would like to title it, "Random Things That Have Happened -- The Randomer The Better." Even though I may only write about one random thing (not plural), please don't critique!
Today I was in the Chase Building near the UT-Southwestern Campus waiting for a meeting to decide whether I would be able to re-take an EMT class.
I was sitting in the "Food Court" (hardly a food court). Apparently my seating location was in close proximity to a shortcut to the main aisle. While I was studying, at least a dozen mall-walkers (really, Office-Walkers) cut through the handy little shortcut. Probably, today I saw more indoor-office-exercisers than I have ever seen in my life. By the tenth one, I wanted to throw something at them. Alas, I did not have any tomatoes, only chocolate chip cookies that I did not want to throw.
Reading about front-impact Motor Vehicle Collisions. So titillating.

Can't Think Of Anything Mind Blowing To Write Here
hi Gentle Readers:
I was at the homeless shelter today (the Bridge on Corsicana Street in downtown Dallas), volunteering. While I was standing near the librarian's desk, a man (maybe in his mid-60s, with gray hair, wearing a striped shirt) came up to the desk. This is what transpired:
Curious Man: How many days is it until the 24th?
Me: What?
Curious Man: How many days is it until the 24th?
Me: (Looking at the calendar on my phone) It's 12 days until the 24th.
Curious Man: 12 days?
Me: Yes, 12 days. (Now the curious man started to look very disappointed).
Me: Why, what happens on the 24th?
Curious Man (walking out of the library): I get my check !!
After this: I stared at the back of the curious man, envisioning him wiling away the hours until the blissful 24th of June.
A friend told me about the band The National. No, I have not listened to a single song on any of their albums yet, but that does not mean you should not visit them on Wikipedia (they are from Cincinnati, Ohio): www.wikipedia.org/thenational
Other than that, the latest update: only recent occurrence bugging me is encountering babyish-acting people. I'm not sure if this expresses it enough. I will try to express this sentiment better next time.
Go and ride a bike. Or, pick a flower.
It's up to you, damnit! I'm just the innocent blogger.
Peace,
Alice
