i go to new york

you will eat whatever nuts and berries you can find in whatever rural environment you live in at the moment.

haha

where are you these days by the way?

vermont, it is terrible here but at least i dont have to take the subway

ha actually it is v nice i take it all back

the subway is gross tho

i mean its a great system just a lil gross to be inside

yeah i phoned my dad to tell him and his reaction was to tell me about the time he was scared riding the subway and the bus to JFK in 1972

hah

thanks dad!

dont worry no bus necessary now theres the airtrain

which somehow costs five dollars to ride for three stops

well done, caek. i really want to move to nyc but it seems to be impossible visa-wise. a three month holiday (that's how long you can stay, i think) is something i'm considering next year.

i'm really exciting about writing cheques!

i'm really exciting!

thanks xxp. yeah 3 months. irish people are eligible for the green card lottery fwiw. also if you arrive on st patrick's day they let you be the vice president.

fwiw atlantic ave to 116th st (change at 96) is apparently 33m according to the mta

see this is misleading because you won't live on top of the train station in atlantic avenue or even particularly close, and you will have to wait for the trains, and there will be delays. like the actual train trip might be 33m.

tho I know a columbia grad student who commutes from staten island

try not to do that at least

i'm going to live on top of the train station in atlantic avenue though, maybe you're forgetting that

inside target

mannequin 2013

i was on the subway in 1972, it was magical.

your options are living in that target or living in the barclays center, they both have their pluses and minuses

buried in the ball pit of chuck e cheese

i'm going to live with max, it's all arranged.

Irish people are eligible for the green card lottery fwiw.

Yeah, I think the next round is for 2015 entry. The odds aren't as bad as you might think tho.

im like a 15 minute walk from atlantic

long commutes are underrated, if you have no transfers or only an across-the-platform transfer its a nice way to read

yeah that's my plan

long commutes are according to science worse than hitler

long commutes are the worst, you have like an hour less of your day and you aren't getting paid for it

, if you have no transfers or only an across-the-platform transfer its a nice way to read

unless you live on the F and hardly ever get a seat.

i will play devils advocate and say a short commute kinda sucks because you cant really get any reading momentum going in 10 min, also the f train does suck

man, my 10 min commute sure does suck. it sucks a lot, having such a short commute

let me tell you what sucks, it sucks when your commute is only 10 min long

walking commute is the best obvs

walking commute is living the dream, it only sucks in that you probably won't have it some day

i decided i am going to walk today, it takes about 32 minutes... one minute shorter than living on top of atlantic station and going to columbia ; )

most of my commute is on an overground train so I just look at ilx or blogs, like my post upthread was a commute post

commutes would be 100x better if they had 3g/lte underground like SOME CITIES do, it's true

you should make yr job pay for yr commute cause you just do the same stuff anyway xp

I have to choose btwn bus, tram or cycle every morning for my 15 min commute it is sheer hell

lol

it's true that 3G on the ubahn in munich made the 50m commute a bit better but mostly i just read books

great scads of improving literature

one thing i am looking forward to: i have a big backlog of 20th c history books to read which i've been uncomfortable to read in the former national socialist republic

live on roosevelt island; commute by tram
