Dear Universe,

Being Egyptian, I make it a point to be well read and knowledgeable on plagues. George Santayana and "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" and all that. I know about the waters turning to blood, I can discourse on the unhealable boils, I am familiar with the frogs. I consider myself to have taken all reasonable precautions where plagues are concerned.

Why, then, do I find myself afflicted of late with a plague of idiots and assholes? Have I not learned enough of the past? Is it simply my unavoidable destiny as an Egyptian? I am Jewish, too, you know! Personally, I would have preferred some treefrogs, myself -- they are so cute!

Anyway, I will hope that the recent deluge is deemed sufficient and that the current plague will abate shortly. If not, I may have to rescind my current attitude of polite tolerance and begin to respond by smiting. No one really likes unnecessary smiting, so perhaps a dry spell is in order where idiots and assholes are concerned?

Thank you for your time and for your kind consideration of this matter.

Best regards,
Nomad

*smites bites your Lokean self*

You're in good company, my dear! The terrific [livejournal.com profile] tawneypup and the adorable [livejournal.com profile] bammba_m have tread this path of provocation before you! (See above) *wink*

Sorry I missed you in NYC last month, hon. *hugs* Maybe we catch up when I next visit in July? *crosses fingers*

Eep! O.O

I really wanted to see you then, but I just couldn't handle the bitter cold that day -- it made my leg seize up so I could hardly move at all, even in the relative warmth of the house. A warm-weather raincheck would be nice. :)

*giggles* I like that!

*big hugs* I totally understand -- that was a particularly cold day when we went out! Nonetheless, although it makes perfect sense, I was also really disappointed that you were not able to join us -- believe me, hon, you were missed! The solution, then, is quite plain: We must indeed get together to do something fun when the warmth is upon us once again! *grins*

So.... what are your favourite NYC activities in the Summertime? Coney Island? One of the beaches? A Central Park concert? Hmmmmm?

It's so nice to be missed! :)

Until my sciatica goes away altogether, I have to do stuff that doesn't involve much walking. I tend to be a culture vulture & love the NYC Opera in particular. I don't see live theater often, though, since it's very expensive -- opera is often cheaper, or ballet, believe it or not. A Central Park concert sounds nice. I also like to go to the zoo -- remember when we went to the Central Park Zoo, a decade or so ago?

I've been to Coney Island once. Went on the rollercoaster and was terrified. I liked the freakshow. Don't remember if I went on other rides then. I'd be up for a Ferris wheel -- they don't bother me as much, even though I'm scared of heights.

I used to go to Fire Island a lot with Edward, to the nude beaches at the Pines & Cherry Grove. I can burn very badly though. (I blister.)

Does that help in making any potential plans?

Alas, Coney Island ain't what it used to be (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coney_island)...
