Somebody please explain the New York subway system to me. Use small words. Cause every time I try to go up to the Columbia area on a weekend, I wind up someplace new and different and not where I wanted to be. It's like playing subway roulette.

Last time I went I took the B/D (or the F/V or whatever - you know, the orange line) and it went express without telling me and next thing I know I'm at 137th.

Today I decided not to make the same mistake so I switched from the PATH to the 1 at Christopher. Except it wasn't a 1 train, it was a 2 train cause the 1 is all fucked up. But it was a 2 train going local, so I figured I was safe.

Until I got out at 110th Street. And Lenox.

As soon as I saw the park I knew I was in trouble. There's nothing like emerging from the subway after dark when you have no idea where you are but are clearly in Harlem. I mistakenly walked East for a block until I saw the sign for 5th Avenue. So I turned around and walked all the way to Amsterdam, all the while thinking where the fuck am I?

On the way back I made trinityvixen walk me to the subway to make sure I got on the right one. And now I have a blister for walking so damn far in sandles.

OK, so photoshop seems to hate my guts right now and doesn't want to resize without fuzzing the font, but I finally have a Hornblower icon. *squints* Yeah, I'll have to work on it more later.

Another GIP

This one is a Robin Williams quote. Cause sometimes you need an icon that says this.

Somebody give me my weekend back! I don't want to go to work tomorrow! I still have too much stuff to get done! *wail*

And if the person providing me with a time machine to reclaim the weekend could go back time to prevent the founding of the IRS, that would be much appreciated.
