work is slow, people are annoying, but there's a good movie on tv
friendly psa for those of you who take public transportation: don't be one of those people who deliberately sits on the aisle seat of the row, with an empty seat next to the window, during rush hour. and don't be one of those people who puts their purse on the empty seat as a way to claim the row for yourself. it's rush hour. people are standing. move your ass over or put your purse in your lap so someone can sit down next to you.
also don't be one of those people who appears at the bus stop just as the bus is pulling up, casually strolls around everyone who's been waiting, and saunters up to the front so you can be first on the bus. wait in line like everyone else. and if you have to be first on the bus for some reason, at least demonstrate an awareness of the fact that you've just line-jumped in front of people who might have been waiting for ten or fifteen minutes already, and who want to go home.
and don't stand in the doorway when people are trying to get on or off the bus or in or out of the train.
these have been your friendly neighborhood public transportation psas for the evening. i assume you guys are actually aware and considerate of other people on the subway and/or bus and don't need a psa. i just needed to vent. i generally like human beings as a group until i have to travel with them.
a couple weeks ago when i was in target i got a bag of mallowcreme pumpkins, and because i am perfectly capable of eating the entire thing by myself - and it's a pound of little candy pumpkins - i took the bag to work so my coworkers could eat them for me. :D i made a little sign that said "have a pumpkin!" and put it on the file cabinet next to my desk, so people would see the pumpkins and know they could eat them. and thus did i discover that the mail room guy doesn't eat candy and hasn't for years (he's taking care of his teeth), and that one of the tax associates doesn't like a. candy corn, b. mallowcreme pumpkins, or c. peeps. what is wrong with her?
i've hit the stage of nano research where i'm just googling for pics of things - today it was 1920s kitchens and sewing machines - and my main character meets a nice jewish boy who has two older brothers, and i need to figure out their names. this is a silly thing to get hung up on, but i'm kind of hung up on it. >.< any ideas for first names for two nice jewish boys in new york who would've been born at the tail end of the 19th century? one of them is probably abraham but i don't know who the other is. (the main character is named sadie, and her nice jewish boyfriend is named leo.)
if you haven't voted yet and like me want more information about your state's ballot initiatives, this site can help. it's got pros and cons for any referenda on the ballot. it also shows you who's on your ballot besides just the presidential nominees.
no british industry is safe from brexit! even the model train industry has been hit.
japanese woman makes cardboard cutout costumes for her tiny dog, epic levels of cute ensue.
the cw is apparently remaking spn, but with a brother and sister instead of two brothers. sort of. lj won't let me post the link (the story's on deadline which is banned for spam?) but tell me this summary doesn't sound weirdly familiar:
Ten years after the death of their parents, a pragmatic brother and free spirited sister are forced to team up when they learn that their mother's terrifying and bizarre stories may be a road map to discovering the great legends, myths, and unexplainable mysteries of the world.
greg berlanti and/or jason rothenberg must have read someone's genderswap au, because seriously.
