Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Because books.

The alternative would be to accept a 3 month payoff and try to get temp work in the UK. And that's probably the smart move, careerwise, really.

Is there a reason you can't get teaching work in the UK, Fay? Is it too late in the summer to do that?

What a weird situation. {{{Fay}}}

West 94th is right by an express stop on the 2/3 so its a quick 10 minutes to the theatre district

I just know that people who aren't familiar with the city often have a hard time with the subways. And if everyone Nora knows is staying in midtown, or thereabouts, she's probably better off closer.

I used to love the East 90s. Worked up there as a nanny for a while.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Ages and ages ago, well, yesterday, I joined a conversation on literary criticism, and then toddled off. I just wanted to say that ita and Strega made the exact points that I would have. Thanks!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I won't even go to beautiful B&Bs in the country, that make you share a bath--never mind in NYC.

Heck, the guests are probably all the same people.

And if everyone Nora knows is staying in midtown, or thereabouts, she's probably better off closer.

Oh by all means!

Somewhere there is this really good list... let me poke around

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

fanny around

I love this. I keep saying "dicking around," but I might switch to this. If I don't tell people the British meaning of fanny, they'll even think it's less vulgar!

I vote more downtown and private baths as good things, as well.

This isn't the magical list I was thinking of, but it seems to have a lot of the same info: [link]

The cowgirl game about hugging and bullshit.

OK, so it's a Law and Order/Homicide crossover on my TV right now, but I just watched three episodes of Oz, so it's a little confusing seeing Ed Danvers right now.
