I've just been staying at home not getting anything done. I've basically been doing nothing worth mentioning. My life's been pretty unremarkable these days. Eh.

I haven't gotten anything done today. I feel like a fog, but what can I say? I've just been letting everything wash over me lately, not that it matters. Shrug.

I must give a shout-out to my normally depressing subway stop, Church Avenue (Q/B end) for having a completely dry platform amidst the storm last night. Of course, all the streets around there were flooded.

I recall a photo some time ago of a huge ball of human(?) hair growing from beneath some subway stairs. Think of how many of these remain hidden....now think of the water steeping these makeshift "teabags" to shower us with nasty essence. MMMMM!

On the bright side, the people on the Penn Station platform got a free preview of what the WTC memorial waterfall will be like. Typical. After shutting Gothamist completely down for most of a day, they still have problems with the submission system. A second message on a different topic within five minutes is "too many messages submitted." Um, Jake, you do know that most blogs don't limit people like this. After all, what are we supposed to do, come back every 30 minutes just to post another comment? Not to mention occasionally, somebody has to make a quick correction right after posting. Movable Type is easily the buggiest blog software out there. Either that, or you really need to sit down with tech support and hash out Gothamist's problems if they're of your own making.

That is some photo from the Penn Station stop. Kudos...

I had the urgent need to visit the Apple store on 5th last night (about to buy a new Mac), so I headed out at the beginning of the storm. Sometimes you just have the urge to visit an Apple store that can't be stopped... anyway, I was travelling on a bus to the B/D at 125th, and there was a river flowing over the C/B line. A raging river. It was cool being in the glass box at the Apple store while it was raining, though. As long as you don't slide down the wet glass stairs...

Perhaps this is the MTA's way of keeping the riders cool for the summer.

here's a shot of the waterfall down the court square steps.

The problem is that the MTA's hydraulic system is built out of leftover parts from the construction of the Panama canal. The fact that it even still works is a miracle.
