Wednesday in fast forward

Wednesday can best be described as falling out of bad at 6:30 AM followed by a hobo shower inside the shower. On the train by 7:00am. I curled up towards the granville stop at 8:10. I call the janitor to let us infiltrate my building at 8:30, got a hold of SBC guy to get there at 8:40. Wake up tenant who's sick at 8:45. Install telephone line from common area ivy up two stories to drill a hole through my condo from the outside and put a phone line in the unit. Install internet help tenant with physics homework on vectors(The 7:30am express train travelling at 60 miles an hour leaves Sante fe bound for Phoenix 520 miles away. At the same time, the local train traveling 30 miles an hour and carrying 40 passengers leaves Phoenix bound for Santa Fe. It is eight cars long and always carries the same number of passengers in each car. An hour later, a number of passengers equal to half the number of minutes past the hour get off, and three times as many plus six get on. An hour later, a number of passengers equal to half the number of minutes past the hour get off, and three times as many plus six get on. At the second stop, half the passengers plus two get off, but twice as many get on as got on at the first stop. Twice the fare from Tucson to Flagstaff minus two thirds of the fare Albuquerque to El Paso! Ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!!). After juicing up the condo and changing out of my swimming trunks I then jump on the train at 10:45 which has tons of delays and scores of foreign girls headed for sites to see in chi. I begin conversation,

jeff-so where are you guys from
them-Finland
jeff-Oh I'm Finnish
them-(look of total disinterest)
jeff-Oh I thought that sounded polish
them-(back to there native tongue and more of a looking down at their feet.)
jeff-(starts to read his book and give up attempt to socialize on train)

I make it to work by noon eat lunch on the job and cruise to Downers Grove to pick up my car which wasn't ready(voice entering in back of head, I told you that you should have called but you had to be too cool for school on this one, Master if you won't be needing me I'll turn off now, Okay 3P0). Made it to the rents by 7:00, ate taco salad with fake meat(morning star crumbles, marvel of modern man, tricking even my brother). Back on the road at 7:30. Got to apartment by 7:55 picked up capo and jumped on the "guess who's back" green machine tandem bicycle. Practiced from 8-10. At the end of practice a grey haired oldie who's really interested in our band that lives across the street expresses interest to sit in on accordion. I could go into normal dialogue mode but there's not much of a punch line. The gesture was flattering. At least I think it is, was, I don't know. He's not the first grey haired to catch an interest in our band. Our sound must emit an odor that releases middle aged men into a state of quasi-amnesia with token memory being to become Elvis or polka band. After practice Erich and I road around on the tandem and aired up the tires meanwhile accordion man whistles and says, "thats living life!" Get to Jewel at 10:20, pick up 12 pbrs for work ahead. Erich waits with the horse in the stable while I push through emo kid whose sole purchase was asparagus. Make it to Kellys by 10:45. Do a lap in the loft on the tandem to show masculinity and pride. Sit down. Finish cd art thanks to gary in 10min. 11:00pm go over poster idea for UofC freshman orientation show in hyde park otherwise known as cardboardsangriafest. Idea being domesticated cats and dogs being 3 times the size of naked humans they are herding in country side. 11:20 attempt unicycle stone sober, ends ups being worse I believe then when I was 3 sheets to the storm. Get home by 11:45, pack lunch and visit the sandman.
