Winter Storm Advisory ?

Sooo, it was supposed to blizzard this weeekend. NLG and I were on LI, there was no blizzard...Brooklyn, maybe...still not sure.

It's supposed to really blizzard again tonight. Here's an email I just received. (Note the was she signs it.)

I talked to my aunt...apparently if its really going to snow like this there is a high chance that our tracks will freeze. We're going to need to get ourselves up a little earlier tomorrow to call 311/figure out what is going to happen if we can't get in.

Balls.
xo,
NLG


Another email I just received:

I am not excited. This has the potential to be the FAILEST commute in the HISTORY of commutes. What do you think the likelihood of school being closed is?

AND another:
Mrs. NLG said she was watching our news at home last night and they were talking about snow in terms of like "An inconvience, wear your boots, buy a snow blower" etc. and they said that this is going to be "Crippling". She said the entire northeast is under a giant purple circle on the screen which she is now calling "the circle of terror".

I wish I was kidding lol

Ugh, she is funny. They just keep getting better.

hahah great :) I'm glad I can provide some Tuesday morning humor about the potential TERROR filled snow storm that is coming our way. This better be epic, otherwise I'm going uptown to talk to Sam Champion about getting my hopes up. I bet he gets off on making us all excited/petrified for snow and then stealing it away from us. Jerk.

Dear Cablevision, we still hate you.

I can't gchat at work anymore, so NLG and I email constantly (as if we DON'T live together).

Backstory: For the 4th time since we've lived there, our internet has failed. The amount of time that we've been out of wireless has probably totaled close to two months.

WE HATE CABLEVISION.


Here's a sample of our email frenzy.

Me: cable guy is currently on our roof. i hate them. could not understand him.

NLG: i swear to god if this is not fixed i am going to go postal.

Me: i was thinking, today, or if this happens again, our threat (to cablevision) will be that we are going to get our landlord and neighborhood involved and file a suit against cablevision for monopolizing our cable/internet ability. then we should threaten to call the city and request that we have a different service provider.

in reality it's far fetched, but i'm so over it. and that's a scary threat

NLG: I don't think they will care, really. I'll call them today and deal with the bill situation. Can you send me their number?
