yesterday: good night out getting a coffee with a friend - upon ordering my decaf coffee, "you're not having alcohol?" - 4 pints later - weaving my way to the bus and fortunately catching it (after midnight they only come every hour, so it is faster to walk if you miss it) - texting people making plans for the weekend - looking up - FUCK!

i missed my stop by like a good mile and a half. stupid cell phones!

busses in edinburgh are wonderful and amazing. you can get anywhere in the city relatively quickly and cheaply. because of this EVERYONE uses the bus system (not to mention that gas is around $8.00 a gallon). this does have a drawback though. there are no crazies on the buses! sure they're there, but the concentration of crazies to normal people is hugely diminshed and you get no fun stories about molestation or harassment (i guess this is a good thing, but where's the charm? the culture?)

speaking of busses - what the fuck is up with this new chick on the OC?!? seriously. you can't take a bus past midnight anywhere near newport beach. good thing ryan came around and picked her ass up. this OC fuckup is nearly as bad as the traffic on 73 on nye/taking 73 in the first place! MACARTHUR is the way to make sure that fucker doesn't get your lady,
