Tornadoes and Flooding

Here I’ve been complaining about how warm it is and others are dealing with true weather horror. Alabama has declared a state of emergency. Jesus. I hope you’re still okay Cara! And everyone else. I heard the bad weather is expected to continue in the next few days in various parts of the country. Horrible.

A scene from my not-horrible, relatively safe life. The Empire State Building on Christmas Eve. I went out for a nice, relaxed walk around town, because it felt so calm and happy out there.

Happy holidays!

A picture from Jenny and Christy Spiecher’s yearly party on Christmas Eve. These two sisters have the best friends. Whoever I turn to speak to is interesting, funny, friendly. It’s pretty much the perfect party. And music is always provided by the Romp family, who stop by when they’re done selling trees for the season.

Merry Christmas Eve

I’ve saved up some Christmas shows to watch, and I plan to stop working a little early today and watch them. They include:

It’s Your 50th Christmas Charlie Brown
The Big Bang Theory Christmas Episode
The Veronica Mars Christmas Episode
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Christmas Episode
A Grey’s Anatomy Christmas Episode
Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol

And more. If you can believe it.

I should title this: Global Warming Sucks. I planned to have a lovely day yesterday walking around taking pictures, but it rained. It’s also raining today. And it’s going to be in the freaking 70’s. Well, it will be a good day in any case. Christmas tv! Although attention Hallmark Channel and others: you overdo it. And that is coming from a person who loves holiday tv. Ease up.

The Best Grilled Cheese Ever??

A place has supposedly opened up near me with an item on the menu that reads “Best Grilled Cheese Ever.” I say supposedly because it’s blocks away from me and I haven’t noticed it, except that’s not unusual. I’m a pretty oblivious person sometimes. It’s called High Street on Hudson. I’m going to walk by soon to make sure it’s there and of course I’m going to order the grilled cheese. Perfect marketing device except that will only work once. But I’m hoping they’re tell the truth!

From the recent Santacon. Santa and his elves need a snack.

Star Wars Fail

I made an attempt to see Star Wars today but the shows I wanted to go to were sold out. I should probably buy the tickets online but I have these coupons I use for going to the movies, a gift from my friend Kevin.

This is not a real bird, this is a Christmas decoration.
