i go to new york

i was in new york this past weekend, super fun. you guys ever eat those fried octopus balls? in that small place with like, maximum capacity 3 customers? so good

it's an ikea sofa and armchair, allegedly 1 year old (and i believe it from the photos)

hmm

wanted this one http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/3924788356.html but may have low-balled the offer. no reply.

the guy http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fuo/3938477349.html seems reasonable from his texts (ha) and i've talked him down from the asking price

what if i get bed bugs and then i die?

cool comes w/ an ipad

just carry it home in the nyc sun, that should be hot enough to roast the bugs

if i pay my bill on the ConEd website by giving them my routing and account #, and they now say i don't owe them any money, when should the money actually disappear from my account?

like a day or two, i think?

I don't know what you delicate blossoms are complaining about, I smoke AND sleep in the AC, and apart from being so dehydrated that my eyelids stick to my eyeballs in the morning, I'm absolutely fine.

otm

i have a headache, but i doubt it's from the a/c. it's more likely from the sweating all day everyday.

and not staying hydrated properly.

What do you mean, not staying hydrated. I watched you drink at least 36oz of beer last night, beer has water in it.

i was driving and walking around all day and had nothing to drink but coffee, it was sooooo not a good idea.

also, there are 16 ounces to the pint not 12.

laurel doesn't do 'pints'

Oh, whoops. I knew pint glasses were 16oz, I just did the math wrong.

Multiplication is hard.

I say roll the dice on the couch

If you get bedbugs burn your apt down

we turned on the a/c and I immediately got sick, like I do every year when it gets turned on

Probably all the mold that grew in there over the winter is getting blown out

Do ppl generally remove their window ac between brutal annual sun death epochs?

i do

it is a rite of joy

It's obstructing my view of my neighbour, who looks like Harold from
Season 2 of twin peaks but without a shirt.

Thanks for bill pay tips. Guess ill be phoning ppl tomorrow.

lololol

I don't, I left mine in the window from last summer. The freezing draft in January was a small price to pay to have my own personal Horn of Winter at my disposal as soon as I plugged it in.

get a fancy one with a reverse fan mode and you can use it as a smoking exhaust fan

Afaict air conditions when they are on "fan" don't bring in any outside air, they just recirculate what's already inside. I've always wanted the outside air option, because then I could also use my a/c as a $200 WINDOW FAN, instead of having to go buy another fan-type machine.

lol i recall having to break out/situate my a/c unit last year upon arriving home from yr fateful birthday party, in orbit

that one I was installing when I first arrived was a lemon and I have upgraded to one with an external air option. The normal recirculate mode is cheaper to run right?

Now cooling two rooms w 10000
btu and a strategically positioned vornado

xxp oh lol yes that was the weirdest party ever, also the next day was legendary.

xp huh maybe I shouldn't have gotten the cheapest one PC Richards had 3 years ago.

They make a/c units with a fan, I think? Just not common.

since Tuomas went MIA, let's have a drinkup once the weather gets marginally normal in his absence.

Otm

yes to drinks always. max and i were thinking about next thursday?

if i am getting a man with a van, and there are two guys, and the bill is x, do i tip them each 0.2x, or do i tip 0.2x total and have them split it?

kinda depends on x I think

x is 120

maybe tip them each 15?

Meant to come to that thing a few Fridays ago, but had to work later than I thought and had a ticket to see Marisa Monte at the Beacon- it was the first time she's been here in seven years. And to think I thought this board had cured me of liking music.

yeah that was my guess xp

Tuomas has gone off the internet because of ...

has anyone ever taken the M60 bus from the UWS to LGA for an early (like 6am) flight? is it OK?

i've never taken that bus, but at that hour (pre-rush hour) i think it should run pretty close to schedule -- busses in NYC, at least the ones I've taken in brooklyn, are pretty good about keeping to schedule.

yeah the schedule seems pretty reliable here based on my upper manhattan experience

the nyc bus system is an amazing resource that everyone forgets exist

generally as a rule of thumb the less frequently a bus runs the closer it comes to on time, but the more frequent buses run so frequently it almost doesnt matter

the only bus line i ever used was cut

yeah i have been here several times before, but this is the first time i've taken the bus, and i'm 100% sure it's because i have a smartphone now that suggests i take the bus.

i do what it tells me

if you memorize relevant bus lines its like a secret pass that can get you places faster sometimes

like if you see a bus on the street already there and know where it's going it might be better than waiting for the subway
