Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Searching for the Ginza Line

(The joke, as I’ve downloaded my own version since I obviously can’t play my former save files. Queen is best girl THERE I SAID IT! (runs away from grenade that I just pulled and put in Horatio’s locker)

Yes I realize exactly one other person, maybe, gets the second half of that joke.

Anyway, thanks to the new apartment, I’ve had to figure out my transit routes out again. The new digs are closer to buses and the LIRR (ruler of Omicron Perseid 8), so that means I can drive less! (Combined with that and not having to go to the former Senorita Weaselo’s every weekend it’s unlikely that I’ll be pushing up against 20,000 miles this year, so that’s nice).

This also includes figuring out where I get spat out of the bus to get to the 7 train, or vice-versa. Or, like today, forgetting where I live and not instinctually staying on another two stops (I remembered in the middle of the first stop, but the E train runs express, so that’s like six local stops when I flipped back around).

There’s been a little bit of wandering to figure it out, and since I’m already late at that point in time there isn’t even the fun wandering to get some sort of tasty dish. I mean, it’s Flushing, it’s a veritable freakin’ treasure trove! (Also it’s not allergic, it’s entirely mental.) I can go to a really good shabu shabu place across the street from the bus if I have time! (I don’t have time, but that’s a different story.)

I’ll admit, I’ve missed the concept of a new route to map. The last time was learning her neighborhood, and that one’s actually fairly simple since it was just walking to the subway depending on if you wanted the local (closer walk) or the express (farther walk), which was dependent on if I was going to work or if we were going somewhere else together. The mapping would be after that of where we were going but it was usually one of about four neighborhoods in the city, and downtown and midtown Manhattan isn’t exactly hurting for subways running uptown or downtown. Crosstown yes.

And who knows? Maybe I’ve got another personal route to map someday soon, but we’ll see how things shake out.

Okay, what’s on the Olympics today? No, seriously, I don’t currently have a TV so I don’t think Spectrum has let me set up my streaming. I’m fine with the base model of channels, and maybe the YES Network. Or I need to play Beat the Streak and get several strings of 3-day MLB.tv subscriptions, because apparently that’s a pain in the ass. Anyway sports.

Olympics. Many things depending on your channel.
