Since so many people here in Manhattan live in apartment buildings, I was wondering how kids go about trick-or-treating.
As it turns out, the kids go into different stores and go up to the counters to trick-or-treat.
It’s a far cry from what I grew up doing, going door to door around Shaker (plus I think the canady was better in Cleveland)
Busy day at work and then no connection back here. At least Time Warner is scheduled to come tomorrow (finally!!!)
Two words: it sucks
My body doesn’t like it at all! (Not that my internal clock is set properly to begin with–but that is a story for another day)
Don’t forget to
a) Change your clocks an hour back b) Change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors
So I’ve found in my apartment if I set up my computer in just the right spot at the right angle, I can get a wireless signal. Granted, it’s a weak one, but it’s a signal nonetheless.
However, my apt feels cold (the thermostat says 68 deg. but I’m still cold) so I’m currently sitting in a Barnes and Nobel mooching off some free wireless connection.
Anyone know of a directory of free Wifi spots in NYC?
“Guy 1: You know it must really suck to have been that White man [who Rosa Parks wouldn’t give his seat up to]
Guy 2: yeah….he’s probably long dead though
Guy 1: yeah, but it still probably sucks
Apparently you can have McDonalds delivered to your home here….
Is this the virtual equivlent of drive thru for Manhattanites?
Makes me very bored in my apartment.
Time Warner isn’t coming till Tuesday…so until then, I’ve got no way to entertain myself! I’m able to occasionally pick up a very, very, weak wi-fi signal in certain spots of my new abode, but I can barely get online!
The apartment is very bare right now. That’s not good either. I think this weekened I’ll have to have consultations with The Sister on what to do.
Fortunately, I was out most of last night at the Smith Family Foundation debate between Victor Navasky and Ronald Radosh on the subject of: Resolved: The Hollywood Reds Did More Harm Than Good What are the contemporary lessons of McCarthyism?
The webcast/podcast version should be up within a few days I’d think. It was quite interesting to say the least. It was sponsored by The Nation as well–so quite an ecclectic crowd showed.
I’m at work right now so I should get back to being productive.
In the new place and not liking it at all….
More tomorrow (when I have a web connection)
A remote control that controls humans
Sounds a lot like TMS….anyone know more
That the current head of the NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) is somehow a great-granddaughter of Leon Trotsky?
This is no way is meant to disparage or insult Dr. Volkow–who is a brilliant woman and an excellent scientist and researcher.
It’s just one of those “that’s strange” type of experiences.
Just look at Dr. Volkow’s publication list at PubMed!
Forget all this Plame-Wilson-Cheney-Libby stuff….I lost the ability to keep track of that whole case long ago. There were just too many twists for me.
Instead tomorrow’s big event–I move into my new apartment!
(well, it’s big news to me at least)
New Quinnipiac poll (10/18-23) shows Bloomberg maintaining a huge lead (60-32) over Freddy Ferrer in the NYC Mayor’s race.
Yikes! It seems like every major democrat figure has come to the city to campaign for Freddy. Bill and Hillary, Dean, John Kerry was juts here….
But back home (Cleveland) things are more questionable….
From today’s NY Daily News:
Yes–I can now share my big news–I’ve got myself an apartment (at long last).
I’ll be living here on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
More later (but that was the big news from the weekend)
From the occasionally reliable DebkaFile headlines:
Both Bashar Assad and Mahmoud Abbas are floundering in a crucial week.
Long sought Jumeil Louis (Luay) Saadi, senior operator of Jihad Islami’s West Bank terrorist organization, was one of two Palestinians killed in firefight with Israel forces in Tulkarm district Monday night
Bull’s-Eye: TV’s Next No-Limit Wager
Darts? Good grief! Are TV channels really this desperate for shows? What comes next—televised curling?
Schumer: Miers Lacks Votes to Be Confirmed
Is Schumer just making his usual weekly press-conference noise? There’s a chance he could be telling the truth though…
