Bad updater; no biscuit!!

I’ve been a bad updater lately, though in my defense there’s not much to report; due to various errands and dentist appointments last week I only ended up taking the bus twice. Still, it’s worth mentioning the hell that is the commuter 720 bus, which I took to Brentwood the other weekend. Literally a wall of people rushes the bus and crams inside; the bus driver then announces he is closing the doors, so you either brace yourself, take a deep breath and squeeze in at the last second or get the door shut in your face. You’ve gotta stand the whole way, getting thrown about, and I have found I much prefer the local buses, even though they stop every other block. Much more comfortable to sit, read, and forget the world for awhile.

I know the Metro Rapid’s appeal is that it doesn’t make very many stops, but for my purposes it doesn’t stop where I need it to anyway, and the crowd is rather depressing. I won’t be taking it again if I can help it.

I’m trying to decide if there’s a better route for me to use to work; possibly Olympic the whole way, with a longer walk at the beginning and end? I do like the Westwood transfer though; there’s a lot I can get done on the way.
