Rambly Bits! Now With Fewer Additives!

-- It occurred to me that I'm getting many more comments on posts from women than from men. So I decided to do an analysis of my friends list (not that only friends comment, but I figured there might be some sort of correlation). My friend-of list (who, I assume, read me at least once in a while) comprises: 63 women, 28 men, 10 fic journals (OK, the fic journals don't read me; they're here purely for completeness), 3 unknown.

-- I've developed a sudden interest in fanvids. Donno exactly where this came from. But if you know of good sources thereof, I'd love to be pointed there. Fandoms I follow most are West Wing, Smallville, Sports Night, and The Sentinel. Shippy, non-shippy - I don't care. But I'd prefer happy to angsty (not that I am against angsty songs/vids. I'll just save them for watching later).

-- A reminder: if you've sent me e-mail and it's bounced (or you haven't heard back from me in over a week), please check the e-mail address you're sending it to. If you're using the @theworld address, you might want to choose another option (and if you don't know any other e-mail addresses for me, ping me here and I'll send you a new e-mail address to use).

-- I discovered this week that I am not the only one who finds both chickens and moose inherently funny. That was actually a good thing to know.

-- Why is it that the T has added new, spiffy, handicapped-accessible buses to the 66 line and simultaneously rerouted the end of the to-Harvard trip to end at the non-accessible entrance to Harvard station? What were they thinking?

-- And speaking of the new buses, I'm still deciding if I like them or not. They seem to have taken away leg room and maneuverability in the aisle, but I like the proliferation of lower hanging straps (so I don't have to stand on my tiptoes to hang on) and the lack of entry steps.

-- *CHOMP!*

One problem with the CNG buses is that I'm not sure they're allowed to run under the trackless trolley wires, meaning they can't use the Harvard bus tunnel.

Also, I suppose I should be doing my part to address the gender balance of your comments; I'm assuming you didn't have me down as one of the "unknown three".

Yeah, I'd wondered if there was something about that. But there should be more logical places for the bus to terminate, such as Holyoke Gate, which is down the block from the main (and accessible) Harvard T entrance.

And, nope, you weren't among the "unknown three." Those three are folk who have never spoken up here and who I can't determine in any way who they are. Thanks for commenting!
