soap scum

"but i'm not worried about your state of mind because you're not the revolutionary kind." thanks
today is somebody's birthday. i can't figure it out.
i got a dollar bill in the mail today. a survey in spanish and a dollar bill. nice and crisp and i could pretty much read the survey.
i answered it in english.
i was too lazy to walk from the train station today, so i rode the q10 bus. i sat down in the front. the sign told me to offer my seat to the elderly or the disabled. well, an elderly one got on the bus.
she was really little, really old, and had a really, really rad wig on. it looked like she popped straight out of a 1960's spy movie. all white-blonde and everything. and she had candy pink lipstick on and these really 60's high heels. she didn't sit down in one of the young, abled seats, but stood right in front of me. the rest of the jerks on the bus plowed by her and grabbed all the seats.
she was adusting her many bags, her mary-tyler-moore coat, her novel, her "hair," and other things, so i thought i'd ask her:
"would you like my seat?"
"thank you very much!"
so i stood up, grabbing the pole to get up and she wrapped her hand around mine and said,
"oh now, i'm getting off soon. you are so beautiful."
she sort of had this accent, so i figured that this was her way of telling me i was a nice person, however all these queens ladies looked at me like i was soap scum on their toothbrushes. the funniest thing was that when the old lady's stop came, she started to walk down the stairs of the bus and she turned around and said,
"i really meant what i said, honey."
man, that made me feel fucking awesome. THANK YOU KICKASS ELDERLY WOMAN!
i went to work today and yesterday to get it out of the way. now, i finally get to piddle in the morning. you know, drink my coffee, play on the internet, listen to the news, stay in my pajamas. how often do you get a wednesday like that?
since i am the proud foster parent of a beautiful blue volvo (sedan?), i think i might drive my ass to brooklyn wed or thurs as well. i really want clothes. i love clothes. and they have cheap, weird clothes.
i'm making another tape. maybe i'll send it to you.
