The Isolated Blurt Thread XXVI: Spring Forward

Have you been to the Standard? It might be a little too trendy (read spendy) for me.

That's the one by (or over) The High Line, right? Yeah, I heard it's sweet to look at but...I haven't chanced it. Any place in that area is gonna bleed you dry quick and I'm not on that unlimited Entourage-type credit card! :D Maybe on a weekday during the daytime, going at night during the weekend is impossible. And you always have other options.

To be honest, any rooftop joint in the city worth going to is $$ at least and the ones with a real view to gaze over instead of just being a rooftop joint on top of a five-to-six story building on the street are gonna run you some good coin. They gotta pay that rent, so I'm not surprised about the drinks, but I'd never eat at one. Far better restaurants and fare at ground level.

230 Fifth is a better value for the buck, I think. It overlooks the Empire State Building mainly, but has a great nighttime view of the city, is open all year 'round, has ENORMOUS space and even though drinks are still pricey, they give you better amounts. Last time I was there, I was there for at least two hours, which surprised me. I'm a classic dive bar boy at the end of the night! :D
 
I cannot believe that I am again being called for jury duty. I am still recovering from the PTSD from 2001 when I had to sit in on a murder trial.

I did my civic duty. :mad:


I got called twice last year. County and Federal Court. Thankfully, only had to serve a week on Federal.

I was on a grand jury in 2002 and one of the cases was a very brutal murder. That's all I ever need.

The time I was on the jury at a murder trial we had fun in the jury room playing with the murder weapon; an 8" double bladed dagger that the perp said he kept handy in the car because he used it to open the trunk. He put a few holes in his bro-in-law, too.
 
So yay. Celebrating my mom's birthday tomorrow in the hospital.

So far, we've had Christmas, Easter, and now her birthday in the fucking hospital. How do you say "happy birthday!" when there is not one happy thing about it? I'm not sure she even wants to still be here. :(

Don't say happy birthday. Say, "mom, I love you."
