I went to Philadelphia last night for Sweeneys 23rd birthday extravaganza. It wasnt extravagant, but it was still a good time. Ended up taking the Chinatown bus (round-trip only $20), even though I was supposed to catch a ride with Andreas, but he went down to DC first. This bus is great. I'm not sure if it is as good as Vamoose Bus in terms of comfort and amenities, but Apex does offer two things: 1) Fast as hell, I got down to Philly in just under 2 hours and back in 1:45. 2) Drop-off location: On the way back into NYC it stops about 2 blocks away. Ridiculous. I thought I was going to have to walk back from the Manhattan bridge when I see that its letting me out a hop, skip and a jump away from the hustle. This is awesome. As after eating a greasy breakfast and then hopping on the bus, it's paramount that me and the throne get back to one another. This reminds me of another thing about when I go to Philly. I eat the greasiest, tasty food that I know is horrible but I can seem to stay away. Cheesesteaks, Pizza, and Sparks. I hate sparks.
Oh well, maybe one day I will learn.

Funny things that I saw or thought of on the way back:
1) Why did I text Adam "16 oz of puppy" last night?
2) The sign in Jersey City before going into the Holland Tunnel "Jersey City: America's Golden Door". Heh heh heh.

The last time I took the Chinatown bus, they showed a pirated version of King Kong. You know. . . the new one. . . with Jack Black and Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody. Granted, there were Mandarin subtitles. But, it made the ride pleasant. Thumbs up.
