Is that even legal?

Unfortunately, yes. Of course, this means I can play iTunes as loudly as I want, and I don't have to pretend to be working when I'm actually slacking.

If I had time to slack off.

17. I've been trapped in a flying metal tube for 17 hours. In coach.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And it might get here before WWIV!

The ETA I'm reading in the news is 7-8 years, but I don't know if that's for the whole line, or just the 96-63rd St "phase 1."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am sorry about the evil of that site. Opera for Windows protected me from it.

I'm back on chocolate today. If my mood's going into the toilet, I'm taking the cocoa bean with.

In random cheering news, as I was inching into the intersection today, confident no one would try and be, like, pedestrian, a jogger is heading my direction. I haven't seen this guy in months, but I'm pretty sure that buff-platinum-blond-sans-shirt takes a right here, and I'm not in his way. Not only am I right, but he waves before he does so.

Maybe the next step should be asking buff-platinum-blond-sans-shirt out for coffee someday?

OMG. I was just completely channeling your mom, wasn't I?

17!

Sorry. I just had to shout. But, hey, if you have to be trapped in a flying metal tube for hours, in coach, at least the number of the hours can be, well, 17.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The ETA I'm reading in the news is 7-8 years, but I don't know if that's for the whole line, or just the 96-63rd St "phase 1."

That's just for Phase 1. Phases 2, 3 and 4 would each take 7-8 years themselves. The phases could be build in parallel, but that would require a whole lot more funding.

But even phase 1 would do a lot to relieve pressure on the Lexington Ave Line.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Gronklies.

My plan for today was to get into school this morning and study. Hasn't really happened. I have to be there by 1, though, and should eat lunch first, so I guess I ought to start considering turning off the TV and getting dressed.

Yes, Matt, you were, and it was more than a little creepy.

at least the number of the hours can be, well, 17

I'm going to go with "at most."

My dad's off to Shanghai. Not sure how many hours all told, but many. Ick. And, due to my lack of ability to, dunno, be pleasant, he's probably flying thinking I'm both on the verge of death and a manic depressive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Two Drunken Moose Invade Home for Elderly

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- They rarely have problems with drunks or rowdy animals, but residents of an elderly home in southern Sweden had to deal with both when a pair of intoxicated moose invaded the premises.

The moose -- a cow and her calf -- had become drunk over the weekend by eating fermented apples they found outside the home in Sibbhult, southern Sweden, said Anna Karlsson, who works there.

Police managed to scare them off once, but the large mammals returned to get more of the tempting fruits. This time the moose were drunk and aggressive, forcing police to send for a hunter with a dog to make them leave.

Police did not pursue the culprits, but made sure all apples were picked up from the area, local police chief Bengt Hallberg said. No one was hurt.

I wonder what the hunter and dog did. Was the dog supposed to chased the moose away? I imagine the dog was all like, "Dude. Those are moose."
