1:45 AM
It’s 1:45 AM on Thursday morning, and I’m sitting up in bed because my shuffle’s battery is dead and I refuse to endure the commute tomorrow morning without music. In most ways, the commute is better, thanks to the fact that New Jersey actually has semi-reliable public transit, unlike other suburban areas I could mention, but it some ways it sucks a lot.
For instance, I was watching the first India episode of The Amazing Race Season 5 earlier this evening with Mura, and she was pointing out the horridness of the train in Mumbai, and I said “Actually, that’s about what the 4 is like in the morning. Except we don’t have people hanging out the doors. The MTA frowns on that.”
The Metro-North was much easier.
Tomorrow at lunch I need to go Christmas shopping. I keep meaning to do so after work, but after work I just want to go home. So I do. And no shopping gets done. I need Christmas cards. And presents for people. And I want to get it over with as soon as possible.
It’s 1:56 am now. I think I’m going to call it a night. The shuffle should hopefully be charged enough now to get me to 42nd Street tomorrow morning.
