snowed in

Facebook has become the new blog, which is a shame, because I like writing this blog, and reading others. It just sometimes seems futile to post things twice. I suppose the blog seems a little more permanent, and more intimate since I'm pretty sure I don't have 500 followers so... a copy and paste of my FB status about my adventure getting home last night. I was really hoping I'd missed the snow by being out of town for the 2010 Boxing Day Blizzard, but apparently this artic front isn't going anyway. Maybe I'll actually write the blog about my recent trip to London, before I forget what I did there.


"walk from times square, to the grand central local 4 train, transfer at canal to brooklyn bound J. at essex, conductor says the train will be heading back to manhattan to broad street, then back towards brooklyn.
at broad street, conductor says no J trains to brooklyn - get off at fulton and transfer to the A, headed to broadway junction.
at broadway junction, the J train is discharged...everyone kicked off. no taxis.
take L train towards manhattan. get off at L dekalb.
walk a mile home with 3 other people...one of whom is a homeless squatter kid and his muppet looking dog. i give the kid my fingerless gloves. 2.5 hours later, I'm home."
