It only took two effin' hours of my life to get to Toyland this morning: I got to the subway at 8:30 ands nothing was running as the crowds piled up and it looked as if the crowds had been waiting for some time from the pile up when I arrived. . Finally around 8:45, the first train pulled in, completely packed so no one got on. This meant that there were backed up trains and for the next thirty minutes, until the trains stopped running again, there were about six trains arriving, all packed, and I watched as several fools in the crowd I was waiting amongst tried to find a footspace inside a car. Around 9:15, the trains stopped running again and the crowds continued to pile up. I decided to take the 104 bus to 41st and transfer to the No 7 bus to get to Toyland. Around 9:25 I got onto a 104 bus, ran into my friend Evans Haille and learned that a broken water main near Chambers Street was causing the mess this morning. Because of the traffic situation in the Times Square area perpetrated by Mayor Bloomberg and his moronic henchmen, it took forever to get from 57th to 42nd Street. The No 7 ride took no time at all. So, I've wasted too much time this morning and I have things to accomplish. It's been a really shitty morning.
