Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Way to go, Allyson!!!!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

40th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues, the Bedford is in the heart of midtown Manhattan, in the quiet Murray Hill area

Just for the sake of full disclosure, Murray Hill is not in "the heart of midtown." (40th/Park is a good location though -- very close to Grand Central, so you can get on any subway you need.)

Citysearch also has a Budget Lodgings page that might be worth checking out (just make sure to check the addresses, as some of theirs are in NJ.)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Allyson! Congratulations.

Because books.

Nora, this one isn't bad either -- it's on Tenth Avenue and 50th Street, and the neighborhood is fine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have no sympathy:

Blockbuster appeared caught in an avalanche of fiscal problems Tuesday as it posted a quarterly loss of $57.2 million that amounted to twice what analysts had forecast. A year ago, it had posted a profit of $48.6 million. The company was also forced to admit that it would not be able to meet its 2005 financial forecast and that it had to negotiate an agreement with creditors to waive certain debt payments in order to avoid defaulting on the loans. Blockbuster also announced that it was raising the monthly subscription fee for its online service to $17.99 from $14.99. Analysts attributed Blockbuster's problems to its decision to eliminate late fees in an effort to compete more aggressively against Netflix, the leading online rental service, and to a slate of new releases that customers found unappealing. Blockbuster shares plunged on Wall Street Tuesday, dropping nearly 10 percent, then fell an additional 8 percent by mid-morning today (Wednesday).
