Another day of walking right on to the train upon arriving at the station. Still didn't quell my mood or desire not to be riding the train to work.

I was fascinated by this article in the RedEye by this female columnist who did not like Brokeback Mountain. It was a thoughful column making no apologies and just saying yes, it's important but she found parts slow and hopefully her gay friends will understand. There was this hetero man in front of me also captivated by the article as well.

The guy who sat next to me slept the whole way in to the Loop. There are two types of people - people who can sleep on the train and those who can't. I cannot. My boyfriend can. This man can.

The only conversation on the train was this couple holding hands. You could not make out anything she said except one time she exclaimed to him, "You mean, what would I do if I was not with you?"
