NY and kitty.

[elspethdixon]

So, this weekend seanchai and I drove to New York to pick up Darwin (her family's cat), whom we are keeping fpr two weeks while her parents are in Europe.

This is the second-longest drive I have ever made, with the drive to VA Beach being the longest. We spent more money on tolls than on gas. Conclusion: yankee roads are evil. Especially in New Jersey.

While in NY, we walked to Juniors to get cheesecake (which was every bit as awesome as people say), and, in the process of obtaining Jacques Torres chocolates for my godsister's wedding next weekend, found Steve Roger's Dumbo apartment/warehouse (well, the two buildings which form a composite drawing of Steve's apartment/warehouse). We have decided that someone needs to write fic wherein Steve and Tony have sex in Steve's apartment after defeating some supervillain who tried to destroy the Brooklyn Bridge (Tony gets thrown in the water, and Steve is all, "Hey, I live in that building right over there. Come back to my house and take a shower," and Tony does, and then he's all conveniently wet and naked, and then they have sex).

Also, Rome is really cool (at least the first five episodes). Why has no one in fandom informed me that it has wicked period costumes, Roman politics, and that the two main legionary characters are married?

I'm personally of the opinion that all roads are evil, but northeaster roads do suck a lot. I wasn't even aware that tolls weren't the standard until I took my road trip to Georgia and realized there were no tolls after Maryland.

The Parkway is slightly less evil, but if you were stuck on the Turnpike, I feel for you.
