hey, i didn't spend any money on food today! i had my salt & pepper ribs leftover for lunch, and when i came back home i had my last slice of lasagna. i probably saved myself anywhere from $5-$15. a quiet day of work, warm in the office, cold outside in the city. when i left the house this morning, my forced air heating was making this weird clicking sound, which i was afraid might be a symptom of something serious, so i went down to the basement to check things out, but everything seemed fine. in the afternoon i braved the cold to go to chinatown to buy a pair of bus tickets to new york city tomorrow. i decided to go with fungwah, my very first time taking them. i usually go with travel pack because they have a cute little ticket corner in the boston chinatown, but they seem to be less organized. fungwah sells their tickets from a bakery shop, which is usually crowded with young people hauling large dufflebags and suitcases. they have no office, but rather a man sits behind a corner table in the cramped bakery and sells tickets, keeping tabs in a book. it's sort of seedy, but i felt right at home because i could speak to him in chinese while behind me a handful of fresh faces looked on with confusion ("oh wait, do i have to buy in chinese?"), waiting for their turn to transact. coming back to the office, i directed two women to the fungwah bus stop down the street, obvious chinatown bus virgins. after work, i came home and saw that my first issue of entertainment weekly had arrived, the one with halle berry dressed up as catwoman on the cover. let the sweet weekly entertainment news begin!
