magical snow day!

well, we finally have the snow we have been bitching about not having! it would have been nice if it waited one more day, so that everyone wouldn't have to trek around to work and all... but it is still pretty cool. and cw gets off at 2pm, so that's not so bad...

anyhow, here are a few interesting little things. i am not one for sending the group email...but if i were, i would definitely send you this.

i used to work in the met life building and would pass through grand central every day on my way to work, and i can tell you first hand, there is always some kind of kooky shit going on in there. and there are always a bunch of overwhelmed, occasionally lost tourists to witness it. it is a great combination.

this definitely takes the proverbial cake, however. way to totally freak a whole bunch of people out! they will take that shit home to connecticut and tell their neighbors about it for days.

among the not-as-freakish-but-still-cool things that have happened in grand central:

a) i once almost ran straight into the camera guy who was filming bill maher and whoever was interviewing him as they walked through the terminal. like a true new yorker, i didn't even realize that someone famous was afoot until i happened to realize that they guy who almost collided with me was pointing his gigantic video camera at someone. and i probably still wouldn't have been able to tell who it was, except that bill maher's head is the size of a medicine ball. or for those of you who were born in the 20th century, a really fucking large pumpkin.

b) my friends, mike simon and megan lyles, got married at grand central a few weeks ago, on the sly, showing up at 11:30am sharp with his parents, her grandpa, a photographer and a dude to perform the ceremony. they just stopped and got married, and then went to lunch at metrazur.

c) there was always endless amounts of fun in watching hedge-fund dudes with expensive suits and starbucks trip up the escalator in the morning. they get REALLY mad about that kind of shit. i think it brings them back to being ridiculed in high school or something. good times.
