Novelty is the spice of life?

alectoperditaIn some ways, the strike is a bit reminisent of the blackout from two summers ago. The buses were still running then, and none of them are now. While not exactly convienent, it's a break in the monotony of routine. Walking from 42nd to 32nd was kind of fun. I'll have to thank Oppa for that. The only reason I figured out so easily what direction to walk in was because we saw Rent just this summer. The mobs coming out of Penn Station was overwhelming. The only entrance open for entering was the main one right out by the front of Madison Square Garden, even then you have to fight your way through the crowd leaving.
I was geniunely lucky to have been going opposite the flow of traffic. I thought it was strange when my brother told me there was a $4 strike fee for the LIRR. Turns out it's a $4 strike fare. Am I the only one that thinks there's a difference of connotation between fee and fare? Right...
At the same time, novelty wears out just as quickly. My parents are finally forcing my brother to go to school (he goes to school in Manhattan, and we live in Queens). I'll give them props for figuring out a way though. My dad will drive him to Flushing where he can take the $2 mini-buses to Chinatown. From Chinatown, he'll have the joy of walking down to Chamber St. Of course, anyone well settled into the job and career thing has been annoyed since yesterday. Sooner or later, I'm going to start chafing against being stuck at the store.
Props to all my CUNY friends that are getting finals postponed left and right.
Original break plans that may or may not stand with the strike going on:
History club reunion on 12/23? (Yeah, the dork that I am I was in the history club)
Movie hang-out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
enchantastar and others(?)
The Met with dm_san
See Raichu and the rest in Manhattan!
Oppa, donde esta tu?
Dim sum with Bunnie or Wendy-obaachan or Michelle or some other combination
Contact me if you want to hang?
And I finished Phoenix Wright. xDDD
