Stupid explosion. So when I checked the MTA website at 9AM, the 456 trains were not stopping at Grand Central, but now that I check back… they are! Dammit, I walked to work today.
It was an interesting walk though, the streets are entirely clogged with people and traffic due to the subway situation and the streets being blocked off. It looks like Park Ave from 41st to 43rd is blocked from traffic, most of Grand Central seems blocked as well. Despite all the traffic though, no one was honking! It was a nice silence from the normal “loud” traffic noise, everyone was being pretty calm.
In the end, there’s a giant hole in Lexington Ave and oh yea, there may or may not have been asbestos in the air. Great. Another exciting day!

Some kind of steam explosion just happened at Lex and 43rd st, I’m checking it out now! Grand Central looks to be being evacuated.

I checked out a store called theory just now, their midtown location is right next to the building where I work and yet I’ve never noticed them! It’s interesting how hidden away some locations really can be…
I step in and glance around, having to head to the back for the Men’s section, but after 10 minutes of looking, nothing has caught my eye aside from the prices. $135-235 for a shirt is a high price, but I’ve grown used to it in NYC. However, their styles and colors were almost exactly like H&M or Exchange. The quality is better, I will admit that, but $165 for a shirt that only a few will notice the difference? I would pay that much for jeans, but not shirts. I’m grateful that I haven’t reached that threshold for fashion yet. Time to keep browsing…

I headed out to the Adirondacks this weekend, from late Thursday night to Sunday. Once again, it’s great to take a break from the city and just relax in nature. Camping is something that I love, but never seen to do enough.
Best parts of the weekend: paintball in the woods, pissing anywhere, lots of fire, hot tubs, cannonballs off the wooden diving platform we built last year, breaking up beaver dams, and of course the people!
Worst parts: being covered in bug bites and scratches, and of course, coming home…
One of the other interesting aspects of this weekend was the removal of myself from anything electronic. No computers, no electricity, no cellphone, and no email. No worries. Coming back now, I’m just staring at my Blackberry and thinking, “Do I really need this?” Oh well, it will pass once I get my addiction back!

I just tried crumbling up a piece of potato bread into my usual mix of 3 eggs, scrambled, along with a bit of milk for consistency, and it came out great!
The eggs didn’t seem to clump together as well, some pieces are a bit more doughy, but the flavor was a good mix. I would recommend this!
