the obese woman on the train this morning who didn’t think it would be necessary for her to move out of the doorway when the train stopped at 34th street to let half the passengers off the car. I wonder what would have happened if I shouted out loud what I was thinking in my [...]

Shocking!

I never thought in a million years that I would say or type the following words but, I think the MTA has a great idea with these street compasses on the sidewalks outside of subway entrances.
Back in the old days, whenever I exited an unfamiliar subway stop, I would look for the Twin Towers in [...]

I’m not sure if you can clearly read the type on this subway car advertisement. It reads, “MYTHIC CREATURES, Unicorns, Dragons, and Mermaids. The Museum of Natural History”.
Does anyone else think this is an odd exhibit for a museum of Natural History?

I finally had a chance to check out the iPhone in person. This guy standing next to me on the subway had one and was definitely enjoying showing it off. Fortunately, his obnoxious display gave me the chance to get a close look and my biggest fear for the iPhone was confirmed – finger smudges!

I usually like to have my first weekday post up by 10am. There are of course, occasions when that doesn’t happen. I may be too hungover to turn on my computer and choose to stare at the suithing blank screen for a while, perhaps I’ve overslept and just didn’t make it to work earlier enough [...]
Please Stay in Manhattan
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Brooklyn, Subway on 03/23/2007 | 4 Comments »
I lived in a cramped, moldy apartment in Manhattan for years. It was the only New York City I knew and where I intended to stay. Aside from a few drunken expeditions to Brooklyn, I knew nothing of this borough over the bridge. Unfortunately, like most New Yorkers who aren’t wealthy Europeans, trust-fund kids, or [...]

One of the few. Scratch that. One of the only joys of waiting for a subway train is looking at clever advertisement graffiti. I love seeing a perfectly beautiful, air-brushed picture of a model with a good old Sharpe mustache and eye-patch make-over. And that’s why I love these printable cold sores. How funny are [...]
