If you live in New York City, don't go to The Ding Dong Lounge on 106th and Columbus. I've been going there for a few years, and I've friends who have been going there forever, but then one of their bartenders tried to rape my friend and then somehow thought the whole thing could be smoothed over by buying her partner a drink. Yeah, not so much.

The protest movement in Iran now features men wearing traditional coverings for women, in response to the Iranian government trying to use female attire to humiliate men. featherofeeling also links us to NYTimes coverage of same.

A look at some statistics for those 57 - 85.

It would be completely stupid to get matinee tickets to The Mikado for like two days after Patty and I return from our cruise, wouldn't it?

lord_whimsy informs us of the return of the monocle.

Jesus fucking christ flights to England are expensive (more than I paid to go to Australia). If anyone sees a sale, please let me know, since Patty and I are going in April and I'm returning again in July (for which I wish there was some sort of grant to apply for -- actually, I found several, but the timing is ALL WRONG). Also, absurdly, the cheapest flights seem to route through Zurich, which is a long fucking detour (9 fucking hours going E-to-W after the hop from England) I don't need.

It felt awkward commenting on her journal with this since we don't know each other, so I'll comment here. After my experience last time I was in NYC, I'm even more pissed off than I would be under normal circumstances -- in other words, this has hit the 11 on my amp.

If I can do anything to help spread the word, please let me know.

Bartender deserves to be horsewhipped.
