the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

"Units"-- does anyone else remember this? It was all knit coordinates, like knit jumpsuits with knit belts.

We called the store "Eunuchs."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I might still have something from Units banging around.

I was just noticing yesterday that I felt fat, while last Friday I felt skinny. Same weight both days, can fit into the same jeans, no change whatsoever except the passage of (a little tiny bit of) time.

What is even happening?

Back in high school, when I did actually weigh like 125, I was a size 10-11 Juniors. The bones, they don't compress even if the rest of me does.

I was surprised that my clothing size was smaller, once I abandoned junior sizing (odd numbered sizing). I'd be a 9 or an 11 in juniors, and a 6 or an 8, otherwise, and I had one suit that hit the fabled size 4, but it was a great suit.

I think I went from children's size 14 right to a juniors 5. I don't remember there being such a thing as a 3 or a 1 (never mind a 0) when I was a teenager.

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

Not to make this all-Manhattan all-the-time day but I was reading an article in the NYT (...I really should get to work) about a new transit hub and it was so confusing reading the text about how this and that train will connect to one another and then you walk from this line to that. I didn't have high hopes for the graphic but I looked at it anyway...and it is the coolest graphic ever! It's all animated, even down to the commuter reading a newspaper and the sunlight streaming through the outside entrance to the terminal: [link]

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

NYC smell update: The area around GCT no longer smells farty. Huzzah!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You'd hardly be a Manhattanite if you didn't try.

Seriously, though, that was a kickass graphic. I gave them feedback to that effect.

it is the coolest graphic ever!

In the first slide, at the top right corner of the "Site of Fulton Street Transit Center" caption, is the building I work in.

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

and it is the coolest graphic ever!

It really sets the standard for depiction of human navigation of complex architecture.

Art Crawl!!!

That was an excellent graphic! Thanks for the link.
