trying to find my apartment is pretty hopeless.
Yeah, I can't see my building in the map very well, either. But those are some hi-res pictures, man. And you know that the govt is keeping you from zooming closer.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The only truly gross thing about them is those fecking women who SQUAT and SPRINLKE and then LEAVE IT THERE.
I KNOW! And then the next person to enter the stall has a choice between cleaning up your pee with her hands, or sitting in it and quite possibly carrying it around on her thigh all day. (Or, finding another stall, but half the time that's not an option.) I don't like the toilet paper seat covers, but that's the one circumstance where I'm grateful for their existance.
I have never tried a squat toilet, and do not plan to anytime soon, thankyouverymuch.

On the closest zoom, I can see buildings, but that's it.
Well, I have the advantage of living right across from a football stadium for easy identification. But I was able to find my parents house when I was in high school without remembering the address. I found my high school, then just moved East until I found the right neighborhood on our fresh water canal. Helps to have big landmarks to work with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, sure -- I mean, I could find my building just based off the (elevated) subway stop, assuming I remembered that my building actually is on the corner, which doesn't stick in my head. It probably also helps when there is more space between structures.

There is no Dana, only zoom.
Hello, all. I have been all good and worky and now my head hurts and I am only still 1/2 way caught up. WTF?!
Why does work not do itself? I think we need to get cracking on those labor-saving robots.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You did notice you can zoom in on the picture, right?
I zoomed in as far as possible. I can identify my street and things like the park near my parents' house, but I can't really see individual buildings.
The women in my building (at work) are pretty much trained to grab paper towels before entering any stall. I don't find our bathrooms that nasty, but they apparently were really bad at one time and the long time employees are all emotionally scarred.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Wow. Superspy fun! Also, nice picture.
It won't let me zoom that close for my house. Feh.
Mapquest used to let you do similar, but they stopped a couple of years ago.
