the transit gods are kissing my ass
So I took the plunge and forked over the last of my savings for a VW fox on Monday. He's already on the road and insured and making funny noises. I was assured by my mechanic wizzo little brother that the two things I listed over the phone to him were easily fixable. I'm hoping he'll want to come to town to visit big sister and change my brake shoes or unsqueak my fan belt. Despite the existence of Tod in my life (I've named him after Tod, from the Fox and the Hound, my ultimate favourite pseudo-gay lovers Disney movie of all time), I've decided to continue taking the bus. For the earth, for my blog, and mostly for money. Gas is going to squirt up in cost this summer to disgusting prices and my insurance was that much cheaper if I don't drive foxy Tod to work daily. So I won't. So there.The weird thing about taking the bus this week has been the relative loveliness of it all. It's as though the bus gods are smiling down on me, trying to get me to come back to their side of transit heaven, or shall I say hell most the time. The skytrains have been relatively dumbass free. The buses frequent. The experiences grand. Take this morning for instance. I was in the zone, taking the 'convoluted' (see below) way to work when I ran into my friend Mel at the Nanaimo stop. What a nice little encounter so early in the morning. Then there was the marathon bus sprinter who sprinted two blocks uphill to catch the #3 Main as I was on my way to pick up Tod. Seriously, the traffic was just so and the driver just kind enough that the aviator, hoody clad cutie was able to actually catch the bus while navigating his way past the hookers of the City Motor Hotel and the hippies of the Foundation. Love it!
So I'll continue to take the bus.

Ha! Mel told me today about seeing you at Nanaimo, and I knew why!
But. I'm glad you came over to my side, the side of disliking the Westender. Man oh man, I miss Monday...
you were SO in the tranlink-zone, we were walking straight at each other and then you jet down the stairs... I have yet to be in this zone... I still take a tally of everyone on the bus everytime I get on and then analyze the people I find interesting :)
And Tod sounds awesome!
booyah bus babe, you've been busy! i haven't checked this in far too long and i had some catching up to do. i love the name tod. i love that it only has one d. i love the monosyllabic vibe. and i love that you went with the vw.
looks like my car (duke) is soon to be kidnapped. my folks want to buy a truck and for some reason they've convinced me to sell my car to them, and they will in turn sell it while i'm away (so i don't have to do the sad goodbye thing), and will then buy a truck which i can use when need be.
other car-related and badwagon related thoughts...you are by no means behind the times. i remember way back (5 years ago?) when you bought your seatbelt bag and it was (and still is) the coolest bag around (and red at that!). now everyone else wants to be like you. but fashion aside, you know what's important and true and real. and that's far more important than any trend.
