#commutefromhell

This morning's commute was long. Long because of the waiting, disabled train at Harvard meant I was stuck at Davis for 30-35 minutes (was trying not to keep track of the wasted time)

Eventually I put my headphones on, so here is the tracklist from the commute of hell:

Secret to the End by Depeche Mode

Await Rescue by 65DaysOfStatic (an empty T passes us by)

Summer Well by Interpol

Ignoreland by R.E.M. (finally board a T)

Screaming Skull by Sonic Youth

Walter's Walk by Led Zeppelin (Harvard station, this song and this station make me think of Fringe)

The Spirit of Radio by Rush

Suffocation by Crystal Castles (train is packed)

Dangerous (Hazchemix Edit) by Depeche Mode

Believe (Belief, Elektric Cowboy) by Chemical Brothers

Once Believe starts we get to Longfellow bridge and soon my stop at MGH, walk to work and boss calls.

Although my commute to Santa Monica might as well be one to a different state, (I left at 6AM), I adore walking around the 3rd street promenade so early. In an attempt to "avoid" traffic, I leave an hour before I really need to. This gives me a blessed hour upon arriving every morning to wake up slowly, sip on a coffee, daydream and wander these empty, seaside streets before the office opens. If it wasn't so expensive I think I would be very happy living here. There's a vivacious charm that hovers over the city, just like the marine layer today.

I'm kicking off the cool fall 60 degree weather with a dress, sweater and boots. And for once, I am actually turning with the leaves and changing with this season. Whatever that brings, and whatever that means.
