Dommin is probably a spambot
Old Dec 5th, 2009, 06:51 AM        So, how do I occupy myself on my upcoming bus trip?
I'm moving from Maine to Georgia...on a bus. Yeah. This brings so many problems in and of itself it's amazing, but here's the main problem:

I'm going to be on a bus for a day and six hours, and I don't trust my fellow riders enough to sleep. What the fuck do I do? I have no laptop, portable DVD player, or any portable music devices. All I can think of is to pack a few books.

Any other ideas?

26 hours on a plane squeezed in between a Spaniard and an Italian with no book was a very uncomfortable flight.

The return flight I packed a few books. I couldn't read the same book from cover to cover but I did manage to finish one with breaks, and reading other things.

Books.

Ha, yeah, the beheading. I was on a Greyhound bus around that time, too. The Canadian media had fun with that one.

Why not read the books I am currently reading, and in doing so vicariously live as Guitar Woman for a day and a quarter!

For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Fear and Loathing: Campaign Trail '72 By Hunter S. Thompson
Hell's Angels by Hunter S. Thompson
The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Failing that, you could always ingest copious amounts of psychoactive drugs to tide you over during your travels. Kratom is pretty awesome if you have a spare 30 dollars lying around. Buy it at your local herbarium!

I was on a thirty-six hour bus to Chicago this year for Lollapalooza. I was afraid to sleep. It was $235, roundtrip.

PRO-TIP: A plane costs exactly the same amount. I could've gotten it next-day. If I had the money far enough ahead, I could've gotten a round trip plane to Chicago Midway for $97.

Also, why are people taking buses when there are other options available? Idiocy.

Because the bus only costs 70 bucks. I'm a poor bastard.

$235. With a 10% discount for having military ID. The plane would've cost me as much if I went up to the counter and bought one right before it left.

I was on a 27-hour bus ride to Florida once.

My ex once wanted to save a buck or two. Instead of flying from Calgary to Seattle, she flew from Calgary to Vancouver, and took a bus from Vancouver to Seattle.

I wasted a day waiting for her late bus to arrive and she was grumpy from the trip and was moody for like a week because of it.

Anything you save in money is taken otherwise.

Otherwise to occupy your time, on the cheap, I'd read newspaper comics, advice columns, etc. Or go by a Gamestop and get a GameBoy for dirt cheap. (I prefer a PSP, if you can afford it, just because you can load up podcasts, movies, music, games and TV shows on it, but that takes a lot of time and money)
