NYC, day in, day out, night in, night out

[kellianne]

I just can't leave! The weather won't let me. I'm stuck in NYC for three more days.

Looking at your Seattle live journals this morning makes me a little mad. The snow is very very pretty, but just a dusting by most standards. I appreciate that this sort of weather is unusual in Seattle; I understand that there isn't much of a road clearing agenda going on. I understand how that can make even a dusting a real pain in everyone's commute.... But REALLY, Sea-tac? Really, Jet Blue? I can't get a flight there from NYC until late afternoon on Christmas eve?! I'm supposed to be on a flight NOW. This stinks. No Benson tree trimming party, no Benson Christmas day party (I can't have Christmas guests without some preliminary shopping/cooking). I'm hopping mad.

New Yorkers, I'm sad and bored. You might be hairy but happy. If you couldn't make it in to see me last week, text me to set up an appointment at Space for Monday or Tuesday! I'll cut your hairs, you'll cheer me up, it'll be awesome.

In the meantime, I'll be baking cookies uptown and practicing death in meditation (the focus at Jivamukti this month is nidra). Had I planned on these things, I'd be stoked. Guess I'll also practice taking things in stride and trying not to be too mad at a dusting of snow tying to kill my Christmas.

Oh man, I wish I had already known! I would LOVE to go, but already committed to cookie baking and dinner with Norman and Janette on 181st street! Im gonna sleep there tonight and spend some quality time in Ft. Tyron tomorrow morning. Are you guys doing anything tomorrow or Tuesday nights?

Yeah, no one should have to live dangerously to get to work. Unfortunately, this means less money for necessary heating bills, much less gifts under the tree. I'm losing 3 busy days at work for this.

oh no, that sucks! while im enjoying feeling smug about my early travel plans, i dont want my friends to be screwed! i hope nyc is pretty for you at least.

Totally lame on Seatac's part. An airport should be able to cope with snow.

dude, i'm sorry, but 8 1/2 inches of crunchy and icy snow is far from a dusting. not to mention we live on freaking mountains of hills here and have to contend with no snow boots and gravity.

the east coast and midwest may get hell of snow but they also don't have giant ass hills and no contingency plan for snow from public transportation.

blame the infrastructure if you like, but don't blame us for freaking out. it's really dangerous out there.

I'm quite certain that there isn't one part of my entry that blames anything *but* the infrastructure. I'm also certain that if 3 whole days of Christmas were stolen from you, you'd be pissed. I want my tree and my husband, already!

You're right, I'm sorry. I just get a little irrationally defensive of my fair city.

I wish you were here. Christmas will still be great, even if it happens later than normal.

[ingopixel.livejournal.com]

It's like Hands Across America right now! Except on the internet, and with purple teeth!

LOL let's face it, both cities are giant pussies when it comes to snow!!! Yes, even NYC. Now, if this were New ENgland or the midwest, it'd be a joke.
