new york city is the place to be, unless you're a republican.
- the term 'downtown' make a hell of a lot more sense on manhattan island than in any other urban area. [down = south, not the center of town. but since lower manhattan is the center of business, i understand why the term has become a blanket phrase for the business center of a urban area. (could that run on any longer?)]
- ok, there are red, orange, yellow, blue, brown, green, purple, black, and grey. sounds simple enough. but then again the 'red' line is also the 1, 2, 3, and 9 (they run on the same track but at certain points split off). after i figured all of that out, there was the PATH (ny and nj port authority subway). now our only problem was NOT getting on an express train.
- the ferry system across the hudson river is pretty nifty and great for sight seeing. (especially when you don't pay.) but the ferry engines really need to be replaced/fixed, i think they gave me lung cancer.
- newark/jersey city/hoboken : new york city :: gary : chicago
- the holland motor lodge is the most amazing bargain. it's right on the hudson, next to the holland tunnel and across from manhattan(for easy automobile commuting,) and a few blocks from trains/buses/ferries.
- the owner of the construction company hired to re-build the site of the former world trade center was a fraternity brother of george w. bush.
- do NOT drink solidified soy milk.
- crazy people will approach you if you carry around anti-bush signs.
- favorite pro-bush sign: "in GOD and President Bush we trust..." Corth. 7:14 (something like that, yes they actually cited the supposed biblical verse).
our response: 'the only bush in the bible was burning.'
- anti-bush slogans:
1. 'lesbians unite to lick bush in 2004'
2. 'fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity'
3. 'did the NYPD wait 7 minutes on 9/11?'
4. painting of a naked george bush with jesus coming out of his penis and oil wells spurting from jesus's.
5. alfred e. newman parody of bush 'what me worry?'
6. 'who would jesus bomb?'
7. a huge pink slip (the kind that goes under a dress) with 'give bush a pink slip' (a code pink sponsored event)
8. bush with a 'pondering expressing and above him in a thought bubble, a cartoon bomb ('end his war').
9. bumper sticker: deception miscalculation arrogance bush/chaney '04
10. 'draft the bush twins'
- let's all disperse approach peacefully ... central park seems nice, it's a good day for a picnic.
- a world war II veteran in a motorized scooter protesting (almost brought a tear to my eye, really) carrying a sign that went something like 'i've seen the horrors of war, bring our troops home'.
- rest stops in OH, PA, and NJ.
- contrary to what someone believes, there is NOTHING in ohio.
- jumping corneal sander's car.
- SUB CLUB CARDS!!!!!!
yes and there is a whole bunch more ...
coming up tomorrow ... SAIC orientation
