Standby

The train is literally doing a ten-minute standby at eeevery single stop. If I had any idea where I was, I'd get off and walk... but alas. Wooooo-saaaah.

You STILL Have Service?

I get a little upset at Verizon every time I see someone having a full on convo on their cell phone while the train is significantly underground and my own phone has NO service! I used to be ok with not having service underground, but that was because back then all cell phoners were mutually disadvantaged. Now I feel like I should expect more. More! Verizon, I need you to hear ME now.

Post-Sandy, Still Standing

After seeing post-hurricane pics of the NYC subway system literally submerged, I think I should stop complaining about the T... :-\ Seriously, Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc and it wasn't on Boston.

Halloween in the Bean

The crazies are in full effect, but just for today, you can't call them freaks. So far I've seen: Mitt Romney (mask) in shorts and a hoodie, talking on his cell phone in the Boston Commons and fat woman costume... smh.

Manly women...?

There are a lot of manly looking women on the train today headed in all directions. The count is now up to 3 on a single train ride... ahhhh!

The Mask

I am SO not in favor of the surgical mask to cover / make your sickness publicly known. Is this "Outbreak"?What do you haaave?? SARS? Ebola? Look, if it's that deathly contagious you should probably be in a bubble. Ok, but seriusly, it makes me more anxious to see someone with a surgical mask on public transit because now I automatically assume you have the swine flu...or something worse...ewww.

Boom-Box Biker

The adventures of commuting just don't end - cut to: a grown man biking down a residential street at night-time, boom-box on his handlebars, and music blasting: "...Don't you judge me!" Sir ... sir, I just did.
