signs of the apocalypse

[rm]

- A building collapsed on 116th and Lex completely screw the 4/5/6
- Some construction thing just exploded on 53rd and Madison, closing down Madison
- And tonight, the elephants are coming.

Thrill. Now I really wish I hadn't been lazy and had just taken my bike to work today. I'm on the west side but its going to be death to get home for everyone now.

The elephants I'm not sure what to make of. I can't say I approve of their treatment but I had bacon this morning so I'm not exactly down with the PETA folk either.

They come out of the Queens midtown tunnel at midnight-ish and then go west up 34th.

Teh BF and I were going to go to this, but I don't think it's gonna happen. I need to be in Brooklyn tonight.

Dude, what the fuck? There are actually elephants coming to town? I wanna go see; I'll be up at midnight anyway and that's not far from me.

I was going to comment to say I'd heard people complaining about the 4/5/6 all day, but hadn't realized what had caused it, but now I am distracted by elephants.

Yes. I have too much work to do to go this year, but you shoudl go. Go to 34th and 2nd and you will see hordes of peopel waiting fo hthe elephants. If you want to get a good spot, go early and go halfway up the block to where the side alley is that comes off the tunnel -- that's where they come out of. Anywhere along 34th haeaded west will do. It gets crowded though -- go by 11 and be prepared to climb things.

It's a great night for it too. One of the years I went it snowed miserably.

Isn't it? I've been ecstatic over the weather all day. I even wore a skirt! Which happens, like, never.

I bought this unbelieveable dress on sale today. Which I never do. But it makes me look like Gorgo from 300.

The weather is so awesome I am confused.

Ooo, pretty.

Hahahaha yes! I was like 'can I wear sandals? No, it's too early to wear sandals. But it's not cold... I don't know what to do!'
