Where's Sister Maria When You Need Her?

Today I realized the importance of ipods on the train...when 9 teenagers came into my car (and by my car, I mean, the car in which I am sitting).

Now teenagers are loud anyway and there are no seats for them so they are all standing in the middle of the aisle, congregrated around one poor man, whom I believe I saw turning up his ipod.

Not that it would have helped, as all of a suddened they broke out into singing:

do mi re fa mi so fa la so ti la do mi re fa mi so fa la so ti la do mi re fa mi so fa la so ti la do....

over and over and what? are you kidding me? now they're singing in rounds! great. i'm sick and want to just be at home in bed, cuddling with the pupcicle, and here I am--stuck on the local train, making alllll stops, with the deliquent von Trapp children.

oi.

I Talk Good!!!

so apparently, I'm a little tired.

Last night while Brie and I were closing, rather than saying "keep bringing 'em (aka the dishes) to me"--i SHOUT...not talk loudly, not emphasize, but shout: "KEEP BRINGING ME 'UMMMMM"

wow. of course once Brie stopped laughing and could breathe and wiped the tears from her face, she acknowledged that might have been this best thing that has ever come out of my mouth.

Personally, I think perhaps she hit her head a bit hard when she fell UP the down escalator...I guess only time will tell...

Hey! You Tawking to Me?

So does anyone know if Robert DeNiro has a brother who work for NYC MTA? I saw a guy in an MTA uniform sitting in the ferry terminal who looked exactly like Mr. DeNiro...

OH AND guess who I did see in the subway:

Tom Cavanaugh....it looked like he'd been running in Central Park, so I wasn't getting too close...

Um, Pun Intended?
