I was in an All My Bucks getting a lil coffee today and decided to sit for a few minutes to warm up and procrastinate going back in the rain to get back to work. I ended up seeing a guy I used to teach with. He was older and always kinda reminded me of a modern day Ichabod Crane.
Ich was talking to a woman maybe a bit older, coming soon.
as they were talking another gentleman came in and greeted them. Which lead me to start thinking about the All My Bucks meets ups/ coincidental bump intos. I love the coffee but All My Bucks has such a gettem the drink and keep it moving kinda feel the attmepts at making a comfy place to hang in seem overly forced and thinly veiled attempts at appearing laid back, when All My Bucks might rather focus on counting money and making more over priced coffee. However there are a number of folks who over look the ‘please stay seating’, or lack there of and do stay. They are All My Bucks regulars. Whats different about them is it seems more as though they are regulars amongst other regulars Not to the staff of the All My Bucks they frequent, maybe due to All My Buckss employees always being shifted from one spot o the next. It may also have to do with the staff and the patron bond is over. Employees want a hassle free day, collect a check and go home, few of them strike me as the hang in a coffee shop types. There are also the Fashion all my bucksers who do it for the social status.
Ole dude below seemed and accidental all my bucks meeter upper, who happened to run into some friends at a bucks, while i did see a new mom showing off her new trophy child to a new money suit who both were regular fashion bucksers who have run into each other enough to recognize each other but are really acquaintances …
The ALL my Bucks is a strange brew of bed fellows. If it werent for an over priced cup of GOOD coffee id never know.

Got great ride into work the other day, sat in a facing seat situation with a pleasant and black berry addicted AU worker, who was busily trying to organize a replacement officer to go to Zimbabwe.
The Commuter train can be hard drawing time, your in close quarters and a different civil interaction agreement applies than that of the subway.

Ole girl on the left f th epage was the first drawing on the page. She immediately realized she was being drawn. She was very nice. And as part f being accommodating she took on a traditional pose and proceeded to posture her self so she was looking at me while i drew so every time i looked up our eyes met and she would stiffen a little and hide a small acknowledging smile. It was a enough to throw me off my game, and i wasn’t to pleased with the drawing, although she was sitting as stiffly as the drawing suggests its just not a very interesting drawing. And whats more is someone sitting for a portrait has expectations of what they look like and want to see and i don’t think she was to excited with what i produced. She was nice though and said it was nice when she came over to see t before i got off. yet another person ive underwhelmed with mediocre talent.

Update for Solitare Player


This is one of the last pages i worked on while doing my subway commute. I remember it as it was the first time someone blocked the seat next to me so i could keep drawing with out being crowded, sort of. I was drawing in a filling train, a woman sat at the other end of the 3 seat bench near the doors. she left the middle seat open. As the doors closes she notice me drawing, think, and started a odd series of neck cranes to get a better look. When the next stop came people piled on to the train and just as someone was about to sit in between us she did this olympic slide towards me prevent the person from sitting. It was a move only a new yorker could pull. One of those We both know you jsut screwed me but im no trying to have at it with you so you win this round type scenarios. However finder herself with a front row seat to the bad drawing show she decide NOt to move back to her seat and whats more she kept getting closer to me. If ever so breifly it appeared as though she might soon be sitting on my lap; it didnt get that far. My stop came and i bounced.
