Coding and Sleeping

Is this a DOS attack on Phelps' website? Is there anyone who doesn't think he is a nutcase? I guess I don't see what the point is.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Don't get me started ranting about people who stand in the middle of the aisle on the subway cars, blocking access to and from the doors, and ignoring the perfectly good open seats that could hold their useless carcasses.

Now tagless for your comfort.

New Yorkers aren't rude, Tourists are slow.

Heh. After a week using the Tube in London, DH and I were dodging tourists like natives. The weeks studying the tube lines on their website so we knew how to get to all our planned destinations payed off, big time.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

When was the last time you had fun on New Year's Eve?

Does being asleep count as fun?

I'm not a NYE person. Comes from growing up in Pasadena, I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I grew up cursing the Damn Students every fall when the new groups showed up to wander four abreast through my grocery store, so I was well primed to curse the Damn Tourists who meander in front of me every day here. I've decided that walking slow isn't so bad, but the meandering KILLS ME. You can't get by them!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Ugh. Biggest peeve for me is the five or so asswipes who charge into the subway car as soon as the doors open.

The people on the train get to leave, and THEN you can enter. Jerks.

Or people who stand at the bottom (or top) of the escalator, trying to get their bearings. We get to push those people down and trample them, right? That's the law, right?

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

I hate the people who try to enter the subway first, and then act all indignant when other people bump into them, as if the other people were the ones being rude.

Yes. Yes it is. And even if it isn't, I'm quite sure no jury would convict.

Going to busy public places with the parents involves much herding. Mom isn't so bad unless she gets distracted by something, but dad has a peculiar talent at being That Obstacle. He's always been fairly unaware of the space he occupies, and that's only gotten worse as he's gotten older.
