You look cute as hell. A little sleep deprived and bemused, but I'd hire you. Makeup looks fine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, like some other cities, Chicago has an 'L' system (the 'L' being short for 'elevated train'). So Apple has opened a new store in Chicago, so they donated a bunch of money to the CTA to refurbish the North Ave/Clybourn Red Line 'L' station. But I read that it's not really an 'L' station, as the train is underground at that point.
Does that make sense? I still call it an 'L' station, as most of the Red Line is in fact elevated. In my mind, 'L' refers to the whole train system, the vast majority of which is above ground, even if some stations are underground.

I learned this morning, France has a 10-day holiday (from schools) for Halloween??!!! What a magical place!
Well, All Saints Day anyway. They don't celebrate Halloween (although there was an aborted attempt in the 90s). It's basically their fall break.

In NY, we call them subway stations, even if they're elevated.

Yeah, in Chicago parts of the el are underground. It's like Chicago and New York are weird bookends or something.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The L and the Subway are like the NAACP -- we stopped saying "colored people" some time ago now, but bitd it was a perfectly cromulent description of the situation.
