go philly town!!
SEPTA: Trains jammed early
By Peter Mucha Inquirer Staff Writer
The Phillies world championship parade doesn't start till noon, but crowds were already jamming SEPTA trains by 9 a.m.
"We have 30 minute delays on all regional rail lines and that's due to overcrowding," said spokeswoman Sylvana Hoyos.
Buses and subways were crowded but still operating normally, she said.
The Broad Street Line alone can carry about 15,000 passengers per hour.
One million or more people are expected for today's parade.

from David Sedaris....
I don’t know that it was always this way, but, for as long as I can remember, just as we move into the final weeks of the Presidential campaign the focus shifts to the undecided voters. “Who are they?” the news anchors ask. “And how might they determine the outcome of this election?”
Then you’ll see this man or woman— someone, I always think, who looks very happy to be on TV. “Well, Charlie,” they say, “I’ve gone back and forth on the issues and whatnot, but I just can’t seem to make up my mind!” Some insist that there’s very little difference between candidate A and candidate B. Others claim that they’re with A on defense and health care but are leaning toward B when it comes to the economy.
I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention?
To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.
I mean, really, what’s to be confused about?

Barf
Sarah Palin makes me more sick as each day passes.
I was just watching her live in OH. She has nothing of value to say.
She went on about how"Our opponent likes to look to the Past. Because the past is where you find blame. Well John McCain and I are going to bring you into the future."
what a load of crap.
Crappity crap crap crap.
i was eating dinner while watching her, and now my tummy is all upset.
i wish this shit didn't get to me so much.

i moved. away. from you.
this weekend could not have come sooner for me. everyday was a struggle. especially Tuesday.
This week at work SUCKED.
I knew i had to move for the past 3 weeks. my whole floor knew i had to move. for what ever fucked up reason they were all jealous. 3 of us were moving upstairs. and everyone else would not let us forget it. Apparently in the corporate world, upstairs is better than downstairs. i don't get it... but at my building there is an unspoken rivalry between those who sit upstairs and the folks who live down stairs.
well to be honest- as much as i LOVE my beautiful window seat- could not be more happy to move upstairs just to get away from the noise, commotion and nonsense that goes on around me. So this week i was getting a lot of shit from the people around me who where all so fucking interested in my damn move.
today i got the go-ahead to finally move- so i packed it all up and i went. i didn't even take a lunch.
My cube upstairs is much smaller- but it's on the side of the room w/ the windows so i am happy.
and i am far AWAY from the people who were making my life miserable everyday.
am i a cranky bitch or what?
in other news.... i made a kick ass dinner last night and i managed to pierce my 2 fingers on the metal shish-kabob things i was using to grill some asparagus- and now my fingers are infected. red and swollen and all hurty .... whhhaaaahh.

pissy missy
Happy Thursday.
I could not be in any more of a pissy mood. I am cranky and I want to be in my bed.
Actually I wouldn't mind working on my stuff today- but it's difficult when every person around me is just getting on my NERVES (my nerbes) and making my mood worse.
It's 9:30 am- it's early- just leave me the FUCK alone- am I bothering you? Can you just shut your-face-the-fuck-up for just one morning and let me work???
I can't wait to get my desk moved upstairs. There are 2 people down here that I just can't take any longer. The girl who sits behind me is just SO LOUD, UNPROFESSIONAL AND OBNOXIOUS. I think she is hard of hearing because ALL she says is "HUH??" But it comes out like HAAEEEEUHHH!!???? And it's REALLLLLY LOUD. Everything about her is loud. Then there is the elderly drafter who never has enough work to do- so he wanders around and finds anyone who will listen to him. He prefaces his stories to me as "Monica, I know you are busy, and that you don't have any time, but anyway…" He's 73 years old, and I don't want to be rude to him, but he can honestly suck the life outta me.

great baby dreams
i dreamt I was taking bare of baby Ein. We were at my parent's house and i was watching her. But in the dream she belonged my aunt carol and uncle mark. All of a sudden her face became contorted and almost frozen with these small, red, pimple-like bumps all over her face. She became limp and stiff. I panicked and told my aunt I think she must be allergic to the peanuts I was feeding her. I rushed her to the hospital, and had a hard time getting her into the ER to see a doctor. I was freaking out and crying. Finally a doctor saw her, and I was sitting in the doctors office waiting to hear what was wrong with her. While i was waiting, I looked over my shoulder and saw a gray cat on the table. It was stretched across the table and it's 4 paws were clamped down and a doctor had a saw and was sawing it in half. It's tongue was nailed down to the table so it couldn't scream. I asked what the hell that going on with the cat and they said they needed to cut out the cats organs.
