today it was very cold and snowy out, and an exterminator came and said we probably have rats in our walls, because if they were just mice we wouldn't be able to hear them. I walked to an overpriced korean place and realized I didn't have my wallet, so I went back home to get it and then back to the overpriced korean place. I ate too much and felt kind of bad. Then I went on a bad date with a boring lady. I was kind of rude and didn't drink any beers on the date because they were too expensive and why waste beer money on a bad date.
Then I went to a bar where my acquaintance was DJng and drank many expensive beers and gawked at the druggie hipster girls. Then I left at 2am feeling a little alone and the subway train arrived right as I got to the station, and I was the only person on the platform and felt like it was my personal transport home to my cozy bed. Now I'm in the bed. NYC is pretty good. I wish both subway lines I live near were like 1 block closer to my apartment, but I guess then my rent would be like $150 more. The takeway though is that I like living here very much.

Ah, youth. In New York, with a decent paying job. You know it's a kind of paradise, right?

[theinevitable]

Yes. And I'm learning less expensive things to do, also.

I very nearly talked myself into booking a long weekend in Florida in early February. Probably would have, too, if I hadn't realized we have something on the calendar for that weekend already.

This is a beautiful story. Keep living the dream, but try not to be rude.

Keep living the dream, but try not to be rude.

Good advice for all.

I did not realize until I met the secretary at my job that the accent Harley Quinn has in the Batman cartoons is a Brooklyn accent. Hearing that voice come out of a woman my age is bizarre. She isn't as squeaky but one day she said "hmmm, idn't that INteresting!" and I was like! damn! Harley Quinn! (To defend myself preemptively, I guess I could have identified it as some kind of New York accent. but this is a very particular borough accent)

My boss is from the Bronx and has a pretty great one too.

In college, after I moved out of the dorms I moved into a little house backed up against the local national park.  We had a terrifying evening when a racoon decided to move into the walls.  Fortunately some chicken wire fixed the hole it got in and out through.

Don't forget the spark plug wires!

I went to a Burns' Night dinner Saturday. Had haggis for the first time. Not that bad, actually.

Also, nice to know that your ancestors are considered absolute pariahs by the rest of the culture.

Not that bad

I was listening to this song when I read that.

I told you folks about the lady who came in from the side of the line when getting on the train.

Way to go dummy, now your train girlfriend wants to fuck you. It's gonna get awkward... or sexy, your choice really.

[AugustWest]

That's OK, one of my superpowers is turning ladies off light a lighbulb.

It's good to have skills, isn't it?

I asked my dad how much money I should be putting in my 401k and he told me a number that sounded low. And then I made an excel sheet to show myself how compound interest works. Damn!

I finished behind a guy named Sasquatch. No shame in that, right?

He was born for this.
