Some older couple was walking towards us on the ft hamilton bridge (over prospect expy) last weekend and asked us if we knew how to get to deep brooklyn. These are the kinds of challenges I feel like new yorkers live for. First we had to get their bearings. Then we had to pick apart what exactly they meant and then flooded them with a few 'this is the fastest ways to get there options'. Truly a gratifying moment.

when i used to have to do asp it always seemed like everyone else knew something i didn't. of course sometimes they were all wrong and got ticketed so go figure.

There's no shame in a low wage job. Its just frustrating when a) the heads of the organization tend to make really good money (sometimes because they tend to be the draw for fundraising) b) the job itself blows because they're short staffed and thus everyone has to do 3 positions in one and c) the companies just aren't run well so there's a general toxicity in the air.

Had it on for a minute on their last day and they were playing LCD Soundsystem. I would've been listening to them for years if they would've actually played decent music.. That said, they have a place in my teenage 90s heart.

Mainstream radio in nyc is super sad. Thankfully wfmu, wnyu, wfdu, wsou, wkcr all make up for it most of it the time. Actually wnyu has been really impressing me lately with their new music afternoons. I just can't always get the signal because wfdu seems to have a stronger signal.
