“When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess’d,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.”
~Shakespeare, sonnet 29
I find Arecibo to be rather fast in arriving. From Boerum Hill/Atlantic Ave I’ve had them ask anywhere from $9-17 when I first started using them and now I just always just give them $15.
I never get a car service from manhattan to go home at night…taxi is always cheaper as long as I’m not too drunk to give them proper directions!!!!
Expert- better than M&J is Tinsel Trading, on 37th St. off of 5th ave. I used to work for them and they have an unbelievable, and unusual selection of trims, buttons, millinery items, etc. A lot of stuff is vintage too. Kens- you should try there also.
Anyone wanna organize a PLUSA Button Hunt? 🙂
“what did you find that excited you about the Arecibo website?”
Red Sky Luxury Car Soon!! Arecibo used to have possibly the MOST CRAPTASTIC rattle trap cars of all of the Brooklyn car services.
IJ- thank you for the lovely book conversation too. Although I am sadly disappointed you did not reprise your inchworm crawl- maybe next time?
10 dollars for the stuy?
whenever i would call them to take me up to the burg it was only 10
bxgrl, I heard you. See? I’ll prove it:
