Oy. A blogger who stayed at The Jane hotel in NYC (which is part hotel and part SRO residence) noticed a stank smell in the hallway of his floor — and the stink kept getting worse as his stay went on. Um….
Per Curbed:
He gets a number of explanations from building staff, including a maintenance guys who tells him, “Someone with really bad hygiene. And some ladies used the bathroom in there, too.” The story changes, however, when the door gets sealed and a Police Department D.O.A. notice is posted. “Older guy, lived here,” an employee finally fesses up. So what about the pressing matter at hand: Would the blogger stay at the Jane again?
Ugh, we hope not. Maybe stay at The Chelsea instead?
Oyster.com has a tumblr. It has lots of great photos. I have not reblogged a photo post because: 1) it takes too long to load a photo reblog page; and 2) you should see them youreself by: a) going to the tumblr; or b) following it.
Last night I dreamed I hit a home run for the New York Yankees. I kept telling all my friends about it, but most of them are Red Sox fans, so they were angry.

this halloween i’m going as post-millennial manhattan indie rock. the costume will sound good at first, get repetitive after a while, and sound sad in retrospect.

Toyota, who’s Prius is easy on the environment to drive but horrible on it to make, has engineered a new type of flower to help shoulder some of the damage their factories are spitting out.
The sage derivative’s leaves have unique characteristics that absorb harmful gases, while the gardenia’s leaves create water vapour in the air, reducing the surface temperature of the factory surrounds and, therefore, reducing the energy needed for cooling, in turn producing less carbon dioxide (CO2).

Ahhh, so many things!
1. who’s —> whose
2. They didn’t engineer a new type of flower, they engineered a new type of leaf!
3. To “create water vapour” is impossible if you believe in conservation of mass (but maybe this is a quantum flower???).
4. Creating the water vapour in air isn’t what cools anything - the physical process of evaporation from the leaf to the air changes the energy balance and ‘consumes’ heat. And all plants do this, not just engineered ones (unless you count that they were all engineered by God!).
No! Lux didn’t write any of that thing! Adam Frucci did. Now I’m going to go cry for so long.
Sorry! I misread the blockquote syntax! It was all a big misunderstanding.
