Buses are fun

Just got back in from catching Cats and Dogs out at the Cineplex Odeon downtown here. Quick blurb: quite entertaining, and well worth a matinee showing.

Was an interesting ride in, though. There are various repairs still being done around town from the earthquake last February, and they’re currently closing down the Ballard bridge (the most direct route between Ballard and downtown Seattle, and the route the #18 bus usually takes) each night, forcing the bus to take a longer route. Not normally a big deal, except that it gave me that much longer to listen to some woman who had this amazingly stereotypical ‘New York Jewish’ accent rattle on and on. Another reason to actually like the fact that I grew up in Alaska — I don’t sound like that!
