After four days of driving to the office, I was looking forward to my "el" ride. Getting to read my RedEye again and spend some time with my paper and magazines. Let someone else take care of the driving for me. Plus, it would give me fodder for my ignored blog.

The train ride could no have been more normal. No interesting characters, no rude behavior. It was strangely quiet. Not many people either but it is Good Friday and many people go out of town this weekend. The only person remotely of interest was this punk rocker-esque guy with spiky blonde hair and tweezed eyebrows.

The most compelling thing in my commute was the construction guy in front of our building telling his buddy, "Hey can you believe all the people buying those iPods? $300 for a fucking walkman!"
