You could just go try somewhere? I went to a bar the other night, and some people made friends with me.

It is the best. It's like Northern Exposure meets All Creatures Great and Small. Everyone I've made watch it. My mom, my SO, some guy at work...

Hey girl, I'm so glad you answered. I've been thinking about you all day. I was hoping you could come over. I'm making quiche and watching ABC Family.

Yuck. The man can't have Opiates, they make him really sick. He shattered his elbow a few years ago, and the doctors just kept pushing the meds. It was so strange.

He's wrong. Spoon holders are amazing.

Is it the Santa Ana Winds? Or is it just a scorcher? I wish I was home in California with a frozen margaritas instead of horrible humid hurricane land.

Wasn't it obnoxious? I'm nervous because it's a giant storm and while some people are panicking others are clearly not prepared or taking it seriously. I didn't want to get into it with anyone, but if you think the hurricane is no big deal, then stay off the hurricane thread.

I love interesting noses. It's so stunning.

The storm isn't actually hitting us until late late late tonight, right now it's just scattered showers and dark skies.

I'm cleaning too! The old Brooklyn homestead was in dire need, and as long as I have a few days off and the Mister is parked in front of the x box, I might as well. I keep trying to declutter, so, I'm culling all of the crap in my place. So far the bathroom looks great.

You are so full of knowledge this week. I'm hearting you.

Are they called Gale Force Winds because of Dorothy Gale, or is her last name Gale because of the term?

Gulf Coasters, how do you know when to get to the bathroom/closet/interior room?

One of my friends in Zone A (32-years-old) isn't evacuating her basement apartment becasue "I've been in a hurricane in New York before" A bunch of us have offered her shelter, she will not take it. Gah.

Seriously, so very muggy.

Brooklyn here. None of my neighbors have removed or tied down their lawn furniture. The people who live next to me haven't taken the 5 broom handles that they use as clothing lines off the fire escape. For reals people?

Matt Smith is definitely a Priority.

actually nbcnewyork has become amazing because they keep accidentally cutting to the weather guy. He looks so bored and annoyed.

There's a fan, but he's radiating heat. He also fell asleep watching Doctor Who in the middle of the night and then came to bed just before 5, so he sort of messed up my sprawled all over the bed fast asleep-ness. I'm listening to nbcnewyork.com, I like Al Roker and he's on the case.

Good Gin is very important. Also, isn't it fun to feel fancy!
