I always find it fascinating when the flow of the city is so dramatically interrupted, because inevitably there are those unlucky few who refuse to believe this is actually happening. Like cab drivers and the desperate few who are brave enough to get in them.
And I love love love that I don’t own a car. Of course in the summer, I am viciously jealous of these people, but hey, today…it’s my day.
But the most interesting part about snow and New York City is that almost immediately the beautiful blanket of white snow turns into a disgusting slushy mess and they stop picking up the garbage. A week later, temperatures rose to 50 degrees, the snow melted, and what remains are mountains and mountains of garbage.
And today, a young Mr. Vangelis “Angelo” Kapatos attempted to jump 9 stories from his rent-controlled apartment to his death…and instead landed in a pile of garbage and was saved.

If you helped that guy dig his car out (instead of snapping a picture of his struggle *ahem*), it would have counted as both a workout and a good deed. FAIL!
ReplyDeleteUmm...I thought this blog was about working out and getting bikini ready. However, by my count, there's only been one mention of a workout. And it was at home via Exercise TV On Demand. What gives, nyc girl?
ReplyDeleteaaaah, but anon, I HAVE been working out. I have been doing Pilates like a mad woman via Exercise TV On Demand...and I am SORE. these people are no joke.
ReplyDeleteYou may sense a theme here. You've been on my ass about reading this blog (who can keep track of what blog you're currently writing/gave up on anyway?!?!) So here I am commenting all at once while a vicious cough awoke me WAY too early.
