So I've been thinking, I have all these random thoughts that develop in my head, and most of the time I just fall asleep before I can really ponder them. So usually these things pop into my head late at night, or early in the morning when I'm on the train to work. Or after lunch when I'm having a "Business Meeting." Like for instance, why does the E train station at World Trade Center always smell like urine? If you've ever come into New York City via the PATH train into WTC, you know what I'm talking about. I mean we're talking serious port-a-potty, Central Park South-esque (another topic I'll visit) urine reekage here. I'm really not so sure what the deal is - there seems to be adequate air flow into the station, I've seen the floors washed with a hose before, and its not like there are so many nooks and crannies to hide in when you go number one. However, no matter when you walk through - 9:00 on a Monday morning or 8:00 on a Saturday night, it always smells like pee. Furthermore, I've never actually seen anyone do their business in the station. Is this something MTA can look into? Is it a vast conspiracy to make me move through the station quicker? Is the smell pumped in by some sort of sadistic government official? And if I lose the daily battle with my gag reflex and let loose a torrent of violent projectile vomit, can I sue the city? Or will they just leave my puke to cover up the foul urine smell. Comments and feedback would be appreciated.
Also, I'd also like to add that the receptionist in my office just walked over to my desk and asked me to take her picture with a vase of flowers outside an empty office. First off, how wierd is this? You're sitting at your desk typing away at an email and then out of nowhere you here, "Lee, would you mind taking my picture in front of an office? I have a few more pictures on this role and I don't want them to go to waste." Um, sure, no problem. I mean I'm no Ansel Adams, but I really don't get the artistic value of holding a vase of flowers in front of an office that is not yours just so you're not wasting photos. It didn't so much give me the creeps as it made me wonder, "Am I secretly being filmed for a new reality TV show where they get slightly creepy people to ask slightly creepy favors of their co-workers? Does FOX have this in development yet? If not, they should.
Hope you enjoy my blog, I'll try to update it every other day or so with a new brain fart.

Oh, sorry, I had put your coworker up to the picture. I called her during lunch. I was all "I'm trying to get a good picture of Lee, rather than the one I have of him drunk off sangria wearing his Miller High Life hat and Guiness t-shirt from Pesach." She was all "sure." We concocted a story on how she had "extra film" and she would get you to stand outside an office holding a vase. She thought it would look really lovely. She emailed it to me. I must say, it's a beauiful picture. I'd send it to you, but I'm having it blown up into an 11X14 glossy. Think you could autograph it for me?
