10:05 AM: happy commuters

happy itunes coincidence: as i got off the bus to psu, the ipod randomly shuffled to tori's "happy workers." :)
the 17 bus is a nice little walk i can take with sven and it drops me off two blocks away from smith student center, which is where oit/irs is located (oit=office of instructional technology; its=instruction & research services). it didn't even make me carsick, though i still can't read or work on eliot. but i found myself missing csusm & usc, when i could be at work in 15 minutes. it's taking about an hour to get into my office now, which is like driving from pueblo to colorado springs. i did that commute for a time while i was housesitting and it gave me some time to myself, some space for my thoughts to spool. today, for instance, i was reminded of when michael & i were walking to get a movie the other night and we went past the large church on salmon. i don't quite have it down yet, but this is what i wrote:
stained glass at twilight
bare tree with
leaves aflame
hive meeting today. yipes! i never thought i'd have to really implement my own process. :)
