chinatown bus home from nyc

[leftyjew]

went to nj for turkey day. good stuff. my two-year-old neice is thankful for pie.
went into nyc sunday and hung out with sarina, brian and lenny. we drank 8 2.5 oz beers each. they were all pretty decent. this was instead of going to the wax museum.
the rest of this post is dedicated to the ride home. i was originally going to write it as an email to someone, but decided she'd be less interested than deserved an email.
wow. i got lliterally the last seat on the bus. the driver almost gave it to the guy behind me. actually, it wasn't the last seat. the last seat went to this girl who was holding a seat for her friend who we had to wait a few minutes for before we could leave. my seatmate was from fujian and couldn't speak any english, so i got to practice a little zhongwen and that was cool. however, this girl and her friend (who both wound up sitting in the seat across from me and the one behind Lenny).... wow. such japs. ok, so one spoke in that little girly voice (you know what i mean) and was talking on her cell phone nonstop to her boyfriend who she missed so much. Then the two girls started tickling each other (still on the phone). and then (still on the phone), they planned a ski vacation in the poconos with horseback riding and golfing. they're gonna rent cabin and it's gonna be (shrieked in harmony) "SO. MUCH. FUN!" At that point, lenny asked them to shut up and later started reading aloud from his 1970s book on anarchism partly to piss them off. They were so..........yech!
besides that, the ride was fine. i didn't even really mind the girls. they were more amusing than annoying.
my friend, yuling, gave us a ride home from the bus stop. i come home to find my ceiling on the floor. Not the whole ceiling. Just a 1'x2' patch of ceiling. part of it landed on my pillow. i'm so happy that i went to nj this weekend or i might have been seriously hurt in my sleep. holy shit that's scary. anyone want a shomer kosher/shabbas roommate?

where did you get 2.5 oz beers?

[leftyjew.livejournal.com]

at a brewery near times sq - it was the "world tour" - eight 5 oz glasses of each of their beers. and they they were nice enough to split it up and give us half a glass per person. little glasses, too. and they were all so good. especially the oatmeal stout.

is that what it's called? ok. it's around 42nd street and 7th and there's a big neon sign that says BREWERY in red letters going down. is that the times square brewery? then yes.
