thebratqueenYou know, if you need something to zap up all your free time, then you really can't do better than running a virtual season. I swear there's not a moment where you're not busy doing something.
Which is not so much a whine for sympathy as it is an apology for any lags in email replies, or in posting a story which, for example, may or may not contain porn. Believe me, I'd rather be doing that last one too. ;)
In about 3 hours I leave for my tribal belly dance class. I've got a bit of a conundrum here because I hold in my hand two sets of directions. Set one is from Mapquest. Set two is from the teacher.
The Mapquest directions are very precise, but involve using highways. This is good in that if I make a wrong turn it'll be easy to right myself. This is bad in that I have a 100% guarantee of the highways being jam-packed with traffic to the point where it's highly likely it could take at least an hour to get to the class (which is about a half-hour away, give or take), if not more. Also Mapquest always fucks me up in the final set of directions. Whatever the final 20% is, it always steers me wrong somehow. I don't know why that is.
The teacher's set avoids the highways entirely and relies on local streets, or more specifically Routes (ie Take Route X to here, turn onto Route XY). This is good in that it will probably avoid a lot of the traffic, and I believe it's the drive done by a friend of hers who swears it takes no more than 30-40 min tops. Also she points out landmarks to keep an eye out for, and I'm very much a landmark kind of girl. However, this is bad in that it uses Routes and not highways, and it's all through towns I'm unfamiliar with, so if I take a wrong turn it's entirely possible that I'll get lost forever, die, and then be eaten by a bear.
So it's Definite traffic plus possible chance of getting lost, vs No traffic but a slightly higher possible chance of getting lost (and then eaten by a bear).
