We attended our first Christmas party of the Season, and I am hanging by the ceiling. No, darlings, I am not hung over, though my friend, Joel, one of our hosts, still makes the world's best Mai Tais, but I only had one. It required to miss "Peter Pan Live!," but from what my sources tell me, it was worth missing.
The reason I am hanging from the ceiling has less to do with consumption, and more with commutation. We left late, around 11PM, and knew we were in for a long night. But not as long as we expected. Are you ready for this, girls? We waited at the 42nd Street subway station, for an R train to come along, because the announcer, while broadcasting problems on the 2 and 3 lines into Brooklyn, kept referring to the R train as running. Oh, yeah?
After an hour, and with me getting more tired and cranky, and my beloved looking he was going to plotz, we hopped an N train, where we were finally told the R train was not running that night. Some signs or announcements might have helped, MTA people! So, half asleep, we trudged home to 59th Street, only two stops away. They had a shuttle R train come and take Bay Ridgers into their enclave. We did not walk in the door till after 1AM, and did not get to bed until 1:30! I can barely function!
Fuck you, MTA, and you want ANOTHER fare hike??????????????????????
Enjoy, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
