Nintendo has me engaging in meta-tourism. Walked through Grand Central Terminal at lunch with my 3DS for no other purpose than seeking to get streetpasses. I got nine of them. One was from Germany. Cool.

Sadly, most of the tourists just go to the GCT for takeing a picture.

 

I went there to catch a train And I ran like mad as I only had about 10 minutes to find my way from the platform of the 7 towads the ticket offices, buy a ticket and get onboard the Train towards Poughkeepsie.

Bought a new computer, bought a new copy of Simcity 4. Installing it was a piece of cake, getting it to work on modern hardware is a lot more difficult (it crashes at 16:10 custom resolutions, but not at other resolutions, qué?)

My streetpass friends are, as follows: My cousin's boyfriend, the Avatar (yes, from here), and a friend of mine from school. 

 

On my first visit to New York, I went to GCT to see it and get a bite to eat.

Backwards compatiblity is an ever-moving target with these things.

They dub over everything foreigners say in a foreign language with these stupid, borderline unbearable anime-style voices.  It drives me nuts.

I visited GCT for the first time this past May. I just wandered in one side and out the other. I've never caught a train to or from there.

 

My cousin (from NY) has just moved to Pittsburgh and is living on my couch. He is welcome to stay as long as he needs but damn does it remind me how nice it is to live alone.

 

Edit: Check dem numbos, boy-os!

I haven't been to New York before, but I don't think there's a whole lot to see there that would interest me nowadays. Maybe the Bronx, since that borough hasn't been gentrified yet (according to residents) and is rich in culture. What about Times Square, you say? Looks like a large outdoor shopping mall to me, I could get that in any big city. Now, Times Square in the 1970s and 80s.....that would have been interesting to me.

By area, most of New York City has not been "gentrified". This includes most of Queens, the majority of Brooklyn, most of the Bronx, much of Staten Island, and even parts of Manhattan.

 

Of course, there are areas in all boroughs which were nice even in the bad old days, so while they have not been "gentrified" they lack grit. Look around Fieldstone in The Bronx or Malba in Queens. Lot of nice houses worth a lot of money, and they're not new.

Very chilly here in ( censored due to awesomeness reasons )

I'm getting to the point in my schedule where I'm visiting schools for the last time over the next couple months.  It's a little sad.

Doesn't your Tardis have a heater, Doctor?

[AidanA28 17]

A heater! A little fireplace in the TARDIS while traveling through Spacetime! Humans! So.... Human! While the TARDIS's Oxygen field and hull keep in most heat, which is generated by friction in the generator, some does leak!

There's my junior high school's culture festival tomorrow.  The worst part of it is having to sit through the overly-dramatic chorus contest at the end that lasts for too darn long after lunch that seems to make everyone cry.  This will be the third one I attend, and even though I'm starting to understand the lyrics of some of the songs the kids are singing, ain't none of it bringing me to tears.

A boring day in an interesting world.

I wish I could travel about, but for now I'm stuck in the same daily routine. Ugh. Oh well. How many more days 'till summer?

[simlink 1,098]

^Many days.

Really loving sweater weather to be honest. The colours are awesome, too.

[Duke87 1,070]

Sweater weather? I was in Canada a couple weekends ago and it was already coat weather.

Getting Simcity to work okay in Windows 8.1 on a MacBook wasn't easy, so I tried to run it in Mac OS X with Wine, and guess what? It runs ten times better than it did in Windows 8.1! So happy

This post lacks every kind of usefullness. 2:34 AM over here.

I got home at 12:30 AM last night and instead of going to bed I stayed up another couple hours playing Super Smash Bros. Aagh.

Super Smash, now there is an old one.

4314: INCREDIBLY stormy weather last night. The girlfriend and I were women up at about 2:30am by the thunder, and we watched the lightning. Flooding all around the city this morning.

I like stormy weather when I'm at home (my room is under the roof and I find the sound calming - if not too stormy). This summer though, we were driving through Italy, and the last 100 km before Ancona were absolute hell. The weather was so severe that we had to drive 50 kmph for a distance of 100 km (to make matters worse: we had a ferry to catch!). So no storm for me when I'm in the car, thankyouverymuch.

The first typhoon that passed over us almost a month ago arrived just as I was supposed to start my morning commute.  I stayed home.  Why go to work for 20 minutes only to see that the students aren't there and the principal sends me home?  I wonder if my company is going to dock me a sick day for that...

Super Smash, now there is an old one.

New one, actually. The latest version came out for the 3DS at the beginning of the month.

Being from the Midwest, I've seen my fair share of severe storms.  I've never seen a tornado, but did come across the damage of one while I was out storm chasing.

[astronelson 339]

We should be getting the large scale fires and floods soon. Occasionally simultaneously.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Flooding and wildfires at the same time?  That's almost biblical.
