Just an iPhone. I have a real camera too, but you can't very well whip out the DSLR when you're trying to capture a spliff smoking subway rider.

What equipment do you use for your stealthy photog skillz??! Very cool photo. This is easily the most entertaining photoblog from NYC around here. :)

Uncommon economic indicatorsWomen like this did not ride the subway (especially not the A train) prior to the economic meltdown.
Perfectly coiffed Anna Wintour bob, full length fur, teensy fluffy dog.
It's getting interesting.

I was just in shock watching a man make out with a duck on the subway. I didn't even think to whip out my camera.

I did once see a man with a duck in a baby carrier strapped onto his chest. He was nuzzling with the duck the entire ride. Truly odd.

Since when can you take a Dog other then a seeing eye dog on the Train? hey why stop there why not a pet Tiger or maybe a pair of syamise cats?
I now so want to go to NYC. Even if I drove and I lived there I would have to go by train or live near work there is no way I would ever drive in that traffic.

Don't worry, the ruling class will still only ride the train for PR.

Just your average Friday NightUm yeah. So there I am on the A train, heading home from a work at about 8:30pm, minding my own business reading Vogue (Michelle Obama!). At about 168th Street I caught a whiff of smoke. I looked up and what did I see? Well, thanks to my stealthy photog skillz you can see for yourself.
Yup, that's right. Homeboy toooootally smoking a spliff on a reasonably crowded train. Not a care in the world. The most special moment was when the sufficiently happy houred girl next to him convinced him to share...
and proceeded to pass it around to all her buddies.
Only in NYC.

Well the real question is what else did he share with her after he got off the train............. HA.

It's true. Only warm, lovely people share their subway spliffs with strangers. I heart NYC.

People who have never been think of New Yorkers as pushy, cold people. But pushy cold people don't pass a joint around the train.

Hahaha! Happy houred. And why do people not have standards on the train? Sharing some random guy's spliff?? No no no. I don't even do that at a concert. Only God knows what's percolating in that dude's mouth.
I really don't understand stuffed olives in a martini. It obviously isn't an issue with my sophistication (right, guys? right? heh heh). I guess I just don't like olives. No dirty martinis for me either. But the girly martinis are too easy to drink. They're evil.

Yeah, that's right. I used "happy hour" as a verb.

Cancer molecular epidemiology (focus on breast cancer and tumour immunology) :D
AND WOW. MSK! Woohoo!
I sure did hear about that. People love to give us money for some reason. I didn't read up on the details...since I don't actually work at Weill Cornell I am a bit out of the loop.
My lab is at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, even though my degree will be granted through Cornell.
What are you piling higher and deeper in?
Wow - small trivia. Did you know that your school has just received the LARGEST endowment (of its kind) anywhere in the world for initiating a K9 cancer biology/molecular epidemiology cohort?
Also, your school holds the future of the corn genome in its hands (or claws - hoever you choose to look at it. I prefer hands.) :)
Congratulations on the good news. My committee is meeting next month - but I am not even close to graduating.
Aw, thanks lilho. I hope you come visit us soooooooooon.
i love drunk phd scientists!
Congrats on the martini supplies!
The thesis thingie is nice too.
Grats.
Biochemistry and Structural Biology. Basically I use really expensive and dangerous instruments to try to get a picture of proteins at atomic resolution. Nerd-tastic.
I'm at Cornell. The biomedical PhD stuff is in Manhattan, not Ithaca.
Jessica, ever since we got martini making supplies at home I've had at least one per night. Dangerous.
What is your field of focus? and NYU?
I can't wait to booze it up (mostly cause I miss you ladiez, but also because I'll start to have the DTs if I don't drink soon)!
