i have two things today.
first, will hillary clinton never give up? although i don't particularly like slate, this article wasn't so bad. maybe this will make your day go somewhat better.
second, for those of you that don't live in new york city, this may not apply to you; however, you may be interested to learn car etiquette as it applies in manhattan. as you may or may not know, a majority of kids my age do not own cars. i did it for the first two years in the city, but what with my recent move downtown, i had to rid myself of the my beloved ride. because the subway is slow, hot, and sometimes not pleasant to the nasal section, people always warm to the idea of hitching a ride with someone who does own a vehicle. i would just like to post a few rules for would-be carpoolers. first, a car is expensive in nyc. if you're hitching a ride, pay up. one subway ride is $2. you should pay at least that for a ride in a car. second, never assume you are welcome in a car. always 1) ask permission or 2) wait until invited (preferably wait until invited). third, no talking on your cell phone while in the car (marc fehlberg). i will think of more soon and keep you updated. i have to leave work now.

Oh geez, all those times I didn't pay you... sorry Stephen. Will you come over for dinner one of these days and let me make you a metrocard meal? Marc will have his phone on silent the entire time. Promise.
What? You weren't a taxi service?
Do you miss the freedom of your own car?
I know you don't miss the parking tickets...
kaedi: i wouldn't have accepted your money. peter and i want to come to your house after school/work sometime soon. what do you say?
I hope by that you mean I was the only one who observed the "no talking on your cell phone in the car" rule.
Oh, and remember when you wanted to drive cab and write a book about it? I still think you should, though you'd have to get comfortable with people breaking your cell phone rule (on the other hand, people would be very good at keeping the $-for-ride rule!)
Come visit soon.
i kept waiting for the guy in the elevator to relieve himself...what does that say about me..?
Are you trying to pay for your parking tickets?
