The United Sister Front advances.
Jul. 16th, 2025 01:02 pmSo Good Sister asked a couple of days ago for the info that she'd need to set up a wire transfer. I got it to her, natch. It's so nice to talk to her on the phone when she's not stressing about something related to Mom, living or dead. The last time that happened was what, 2017?
And I even found something out about Evil Sister. She's moved out into the country, but she didn't change jobs, so now she's got a commute that's about 30 miles (50 km) each way. Even when I had a car I would have considered that bananas, but I'm a city girl to the bone.
And on the subject of big cities, here in the upper left corner of the coterminous US I'm preparing to visit the upper right corner: New York City. I've booked a COVID shot. I know that A-at-the-Merc told me that all the fun is in Brooklyn & Queens, but that's musical fun. The museums, queer stuff, and kinky stuff are still mainly in Manhattan, so I'm keeping my hotel reservation there. If, Goddess willing, the house closes and I suddenly end up with a fat stack of cash, I may spring for someplace nicer.
Besides, I'm not afraid to use a MetroCard should I feel a dire need to get to the outer boroughs*. But in truth, the one place far afield that I really want to go to is QXT's, a giant Goth joint in Newark, NJ. (!) A says it's the stuff, and I'm inclined to believe her. It's near a commuter train station, apparently, but more research is needed.
*That's right, kids, I'm hip to the Big Apple lingo.
