We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I'm restless and keep having the urge to either spend money or eat. not good. I have plenty of things that NEED to get done, both at work and at home, but can't seem to focus on them for longer than a minute or two.

This is me, too, unless it involves Halloween. I'm eating an apple right now AInotFG, but I'm trying to distract myself from the fact that I am FIENDING for chocolate and don't even have cash for the vending machine.

So you only have 30 per class today instead of 60? Have your numbers gone down? Because the last numbers I read about were ridiculously high.

25! It was nice today... we worked on college applications.

I just applied for a Verizon store sales job. They want a copy of my high school diploma.

I'm right to be slightly depressed, yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A user on Flickr made a Customized NYC subway map for his three-year-old nephew.

That's just weird. I mean, I get why it would be their standard process, but I'm sure there's a way around it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

The subway map reminded me of a question I've been meaning to ask the NYistas:

What neighborhood is East 62nd Street in? Think way, way East -- beyond York Street.

(If you're familiar with the Animal Medical Center, that's where I'm thinking of -- it's where Rigatoni was hospitalized, and I've been wondering which neighborhood of Manhattan it's 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.

Council bans parents from play areas

Score one for Britain in its contest with the United States to create the stupidest fear-based society. The Watford Borough Council took the lead by banning parents from supervising their own kids in public playgrounds, "because they have not undergone criminal record checks."

The only adults allowed to monitor the kids are idiocracy-vetted "play rangers." The children's parents must "watch from outside a perimeter fence."

Generally I'd say "East Side" or "Upper East Side". I think specifically it might be "Yorkville" but it might be too low for that. [link]

Because books.

I think it's too low for Yorkville. It's sort of the Sutton Place neighborhood, isn't it?
