bathing prohibited

i went to an event after work and after it had ended i used the bathroom. a sign on the mirror said that bathing and body washing was prohibited. this seemed weird to me. this was a member- or friend- event, and it included an open-mic for readers. i was on after a no-show, and did some poetry i had just written a week earlier about riding light rail. one reader after my turn did an excerpt about her son who had a drug problem, and she got choked up twice during her short time at the mic. i like the cheese and meat discs and crackers there, although i got a burger and some strawberry milk at the bobby and steve's after it was done and ate the burger on the walk to the light rail. the drink i had at the event was a mixed one, cranberry juice and ginger beer. i could taste the cranberry in it, haven't had ginger beer much before if at all. at work i had a check intercept request where the combined value of the three checks wouldn't even buy a fast-food meal. when i got home i tried watching the news but fell asleep and when i woke up, 'comics unleashed' was on. for once i recognized a guest that wasn't famous, it was Arizona Chicago. a few of her jokes sounded familiar, she is one of my 'ring of honor' photos. another guest was Jon Lovitz. during my walks i found 50 cents.
