More randoms!

Randoms thoughts of the day-

• Today when I got on the train there was a woman obstructing more than half the door, making it awkward to get through (and only in single file). She continued to lean against the door the entire trip and would not move even when the train stopped. Even when we pulled up to big stops and 20+ people were rushing to get in/out she still didn't move. I was extremely vexed.
  Jesus people. Please learn to be courteous on public transportation. Or just, you know, in general. Why do people think the world revolves around them?
  
• I walked 50+ blocks in one go today! That on top of the usual daily errands and the long walk I took with Nancy probably comes out to just a little less than a 100 blocks! Holy shit my feet hurt.
  
• Tomorrow my teacher is having a professional come and teach us the dances that were popular in the court of Louis XIV. I think this is really super awesome and I would LOVE to go, but he said that woman should wear long skirts and heels and men should wear nice pants and jackets. The problem? 1. I don't even have a long skirt here with me 2. I have no desire to wear a skirt anyway 3. I don't own dressy men's clothing
  I would've asked a friend if I could borrow some clothes from them, but I don't know any small guys here in New York. Maybe I'll think of something by tomorrow...
  
• Is anybody else already seeing people in costume? Wtf people. Halloween is on Saturday.
  
• I found At the Bottom of the Garden by Diane Purkiss at the Strand today! So excited! I can't wait to read it! Sometimes The Strand pisses me off, but my best book finds are usually in some dusty corner of that store. I also found The Two Princesses of Bamarre, which I loved as a little kid, at some random little used bookstore the other day. I guess it's a good week for books.
  (Ask me about my first encounter with the Strand sometime and you'll hear a funny story. And by funny I mean one that makes me look stupid. Same thing, right? XD )

I saw a guy dressed as Batman yesterday!

It was kind of awesome/hilarious.

That is brilliant. I hope he does that on a regular basis and not just because it's close to halloween.

I decided I was going to make that a regular thing in my life.

Dressing up as a superhero I mean.
