Home again home again

Last night I took the $10.00 Chinatown bus to Mohegan Sun. Li-Ting had messaged me that she was on a bus that smelled of chicken, and it was about to make her barf. I asked her if she were on a Chinatown bus and she said yes, bound for Boston. We texted back and forth while we rode our separate rides.

I had hoped to watch the movie on board, but the audio was too soft, and picture too far away. Li-Ting asked what I did on these bus rides. I told her I was listening to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast recording of "Once More, With Feeling." I had napped coming out of New York, but soon people were all talking on their cell phones or coughing up a storm.

My father picked me up at the casino. On disembarking, I was given $35.00 in coupons; $15.00 for food and $20.00 for gambling. My father asked if I were hungry. I said I'd eat at home. He said we should get some pastries.

He took me to the food court and told the cashier he wanted $15.00 worth of pastries. He then began to select them. A 7 layer bar, two lemon squares, a rasberry pastry, a blueberry pastry. He kept asking the cashier to add it up. Finally, he was down to three dollars. He pointed at a pecan bar. "That's $2.39," the cashier said. "I'll take it," my dad replied. The total came out to $14.37.
