day three: 4.8.2008

Today I got to work definitely on time! Hooray! Though mysteriously bleeding from my left hand.

Shadowed A.... again today. After sorting through the morning mail we got a ride with B....2 down to Lake Oswego. It was pretty peaceful, trees and birds, but a little lonely and dull with no eye candy for distractions. Finished up early and sat around for a ride back to HQ.

In the afternoon, we walked all over the place. Not too much to say. But my eye was all over, checking boys out: a curly-haired cutie in the Central library, the rider of the homebrew yellow Bianchi (I admit disappointment, seeing the bike a couple of times around town already I had high expectations for the rider) and a security guard at the county courthouse. Yum.

I actually managed to pack a lunch today; seasoned brown rice, carrots, cucumber and pickled ginger in my bento box along with an orange. April gave me the last bite of a candy bar she bought while telling me a story about moving a box truck parked too close to the streetcar tracks (might have to record that one and post it later).

Finished up at 4:30 and walked by Cameron's Books before crossing the Morrison in the pouring rain. Grabbed my bike (S... hid my helmet, grrr, but told me where it was) and rode up the esplanade to Rose Quarter where I saw a vision, a lovely dream in my particular brand of people watching.

A red-bearded man in glasses commuting (I'm assuming here) on a big (wheelsize somewhere between 28" and 29") blue unicycle.

Le sigh.

Then my mom called (she had pants for me) and I had to negotiate with her the exchange and ended up waiting a half hour for her to pick me up. But I was giddy and silly the entire time waiting and wrote an "I Saw U" when I got home.
