stuff, and more stuff...

had a lot of random stuff going on lately, but not a lot of time or inclination to gather it all together.

yesterday...started off awesome, and then started to suck. i went to the white sox game...and the sox won, 6-3. :) that was shiny. it was nice to see my sox doing well, and rebounding from that embarrassment of a doubleheader that transpired on friday.

but then, the weather caught up with me. it was ninety-five out with really high humidity...and a couple hours after the game, heat exhaustion set in. i'm feeling better this morning than i was last night, although i'm still kind of recovering. i had forgotten how absolutely terrible it was to be delirious with heat exhaustion. that hadn't happened to me in a couple of years, and i hope it doesn't happen to me again ever...or at least for a very, very long while.

i hate hot summer weather. i can't deal with it.

on another topic...this is a letter to all you taxi-cab drivers out there. when a single woman gets in your taxi-cab, there are several things you should not do:

• hit on them. it's terribly unprofessional, and terribly annoying to someone who wants to get home as quickly as possible without being bothered.
• assume they have a boyfriend. taxicab chatter is okay, but keep it to things like the weather or the news or something. don't get into personal stuff. i know being a taxi driver is probably very boring if you are not talking to the people in your taxi, but don't pry.
• go many blocks out of the way without asking the person in your taxicab where to go. if you are that far out of your way, you clearly don't know where you are. if the person tells you to turn at the next street, don't ignore them. improvising directions and then overcharging for that is just not cool...and, i think, against the taxi driver rules.

i named my iPod "harmony joybus." why? because it's a harmony joybus that takes me on a harmony joyride.
