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.

Conversation of Boredom and SNOW

So, as you may or may not have heard, NYC got dumped on (well dumped is debatable, I'm from Rochester) and we have a foot of snow as of this morning. All day (and most of yesterday), me and NLG have done nothing but sit in the living room. We ate, worked, and entertained ourselves via YouTube in there.


Boyfriend of NLG also did some wonderful shoveling (I had done some earlier in the morning to take my friend to the airport).


Boyfriend of NLG: "Don't step on my toes!"
NLG: "I'm trying not to. I'm trying to avoid the filth" (as the chip bag crinkles.)

NLG to Boyfriend: "Sometimes I think Wasp is only my roommate because I date you."
Me: "Sometimes that's true."
NLG (looks at me, distraught): "That was hurtful."

Obama's in NYC!??

As I got out of the subway today, this is what I saw! This doesn't even capture half of it. There were at least 20 cops/fireman and 8 fire trucks..all at one subway stop! I'm not sure what happened.

Each corner I passed there was a traffic cop directing traffic.

My supervisor told me he was speaking at Fairleigh Dickonson, but most likely staying in the city.

I don't know, it looked pretty serious..more than just a presidential visit.

Life thus far

So, my NLG (non lesbian girlfriend) and I just moved in to our first apartment. We are products of Suburbia and Daddy always taking care of us. As you can imagine, we have run into a lot of situations where we were clueless. Here is a quick run-down of some of them:

• ROACHES (We later learned they are water bugs. Equally as gross.)

• Moving/arranging furniture



• Hanging mirrors, picture, decorations (required frantic call to our sometimes "house husband")



• Scary high school girls threatening innocent commuters on subway



• A women's drug overdose, resulting in mouth foaming, subway car evacuation, termination of normal commute



• Frigidness due to the fact that our landlord pays the heating bill



• Going out in the city and being hit on by D and the "best DJ in the world"



• City parking, with the occasional bumper tap



• Parking tickets


• SPIDERS (NLG got quite the bite, we are about to bug bomb our apartment)

There will be more to come...I promise.
