I must’ve really been out of it last night. Coming home from work, I absentmindedly transferred to the wrong Metro line (Green instead of Yellow) at Gallery Place. Thankfully I realized my mistake sooner rather than later. Retracing my path back to L’Enfant Plaza to get on the Yellow, I thought I had everything under control, but when I got there, for some reason I promptly forgot to switch directions using the opposite platform. Argh! Perhaps my hunger-induced lightheadedness and the fact that I was so engrossed in reading Jasper Fforde’s The Eyre Affair, which had put me in a surreal state of mind, had something to do with it. So instead of my usual commute comprising two lines and one transfer, I ended up transferring a total of four times before finally arriving at Pentagon City. Yowza.
Anyway, thank goodness it’s Friday. Our office closed at 1 p.m. today to let everyone get an early jump on the holiday weekend, so this afternoon I was out enjoying the gorgeous weather.
Have a fun weekend, kids.
geez, must be nice! to have a nice weekend… i sure as heck wouldn’t know, with this damn hurricane breathing down my knickers… and its the second one in 3 weeks!! the first one was bad, but it came and went like a trick on saturday night. but this second one is just gonna linger like the creepy troll that won’t leave you alone…!!
dont ya just hate when that happens!! I have done it quite a few times and i always wonder where my brain was. yahoo! one more day off on the holiday weekend!
I loved that book! Fforde has written two or three more books in this series, but I haven’t had time to read any of them. But I will. One day.
Jere… I’ve devoured Fforde’s first three Thursday Next novels; I’m struggling to wait for number four, just released in hardback a few weeks ago, to come out in paperback before grabbing it. While the series changes somewhat in tone, I think it actually gets even better with each successive release.
