but last night...
grrr....
i was in greenpoint having dinners with friends.
i left circa 12:15.
"that's reasonable," you might say.
well it's not.
the shortest distance to take would be the G to the F to the R to the D.
not terrible, but the G and F train can be dodgy at night.
but no.
i'm going to take the safer trains and go through the city.
so here we go...
i get on the G after waiting ten minutes.
not terrible, but please note that i haven't slept in two weeks. so i am extremely ti ti.
get off the G and transfer to the L.
wait a while longer for the L to show up only to discover that the L is running in two different chunks.
so i have to get off at bedford to then take another L into union square.
it takes awhile for the other L train to show up.
oh. and there was almost a fight in the train including the guy next to me.
finally i am at union square and finally the N train shows up.
now at this point the N is hella local going all the way downtown.
in order to avoid the extra wait time of going int downtown brooklyn, i get off at canal and get on the Q.
from the Q i have to make the long crossover from atlantic to pacific platforms.
not bad.
until i sit waiting for the D for twenty minutes.
dear, lord.
the D comes.
it's local of course by now.
and some crazy guy starts harassing this girl near me. no else seemed to be paying attention, so fortunately we got off the train because i had to kick him or something.
2 1/2 hours later. i was home.
reason #423 new york is kinda crappy.
