It’s showing a wind chill of -1 for the Times Square Zip Code, but whatever: 16 degrees is as cold a low since as I’ve seen since I moved here, I think, and I don’t remember any windchill below 0. This is Chicago weather. What happened to global warming?

The forecast for 10001 is 16 with a wind chill of -2, good luck with that.

Like I said, this is about as cold as it gets for NYC. We usually stay in a normal, tolerable temperature range, and winter isn’t the hardship that it is in Chicago (sorry, Moon). But tonight, forget it.

A friend just texted to see if I wanted to join him with free tickets to a show at Madison Square Garden, but man, even that’s not calling. I am so old and lame.

You think there’s a cop posted there. Underneath that uniform, I’m wearing a nun’s habit. An underneath that nun’s habit, I’m wearing another nun’s habit. And underneath that nun’s habit, i’m wearing my lucky pink fluffy lingerie (made from fake--not real, I checked--unicorn fur), and underneath that ... I’m completely enclothed in a gorilla costume. Minus the head-part.

I see what you mean about walking under TGIF. Well, it’s 25 degrees, which is about as cold as New York City gets. So that won’t happen.

I didn’t see anybody jump the barricade--i’ve heard the cops are pretty strict about that and keep pretty good order, and in my experience, just going to 8th avenue to get a cab to go to somewhere else in years past, they are. It might just be early so they don’t care, but they’re pretty good about keeping things in order.

If by barricade you mean those blue wooden things, they let you go past those. Those just block traffic. Sometimes they will stop you if the crowd is getting too thick, but not always.

Judging by the video you can walk right under the camera in front of Fridays. People are also jumping the barricade.

Lady P run out to Time Square, stand out in front of Fridays with a Fat Jerry sign.

Yeah, it doesn’t work like that. I only live a block and a half from Times Square, but you can’t just go and stand wherever you want. They assign you to pens, and once you’re in a pen, you’re stuck there for the rest of the evening. If you leave, you’re out. Not sure what happens if you have to pee.

I have never had an urge to go to Times Square for NYE. Come to think of it, I don’t have an urge to go to Times Square period.

If you don’t use Time Warner for your cable, you should be okay, I would imagine. The issue is with TWC and Viacom.

So, because I have Time Warner Cable as a service provider, starting at midnight tonight I will lose VH1, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and every Viacom channel, because they can’t come to an agreement between Viacom and Time Warner about how much to pay for each channel, or some such.

So um, where am I going to get my Colbert Report? My Rock of Love? Yes, I know, the innerwebs. But it’s not the same.

As for Esme’s box, it is her favorite thing ever. I am stuck with it. She prefers it to anything I could buy in the store. Loves to scratch at the cardboard. I guess she would be the firm-mattress sort.

More photos of Esme, since I decided to do a photoshoot today (please disregard the bag under the couch, which I only noticed when I uploaded the photos. It’s darker than it looks in these photos, owing to a snowstorm--i lightened them in Photoshop so that you could see all the nuances of Esme in her butch Esme glory):

At some point, the camera strap attracted her, and she was moved to play.

Some of you might remember when I posted a few pics of my niece the day she was born.

Good to see that other eye grew in.  That would’ve been a bitch when it came to the teen dating years.

If it doesn’t work the first time you take it, keep taking it.

By which i mean, don’t take more right away, but stick to the schedule.

GS, if you don’t have any quality meds for your back, take 800 mg of Advil every 5-6 hours or so.

No more than 800, absolutely positively.

If it doesn’t work the first time you take it, keep taking it. Over time, it will build in your system. It will be more effective after a few days than after the first dose. It will not only make you feel better, but it will relax the muscles so that they can work out the kinks and actually heal. Do not miss a dose. Take all doses after eating.

So we went to Target last night so the girls could pick up a few things with their gift-cards. While I was walking around, I half stooped over to look at something on the second shelf from the floor, and then it happened. My back tightened up like never before. Walking suddenly became a major chore. I had to hobble around for 20 minutes before it relaxed enough for me to stand fully upright. Even today, it is pretty well wound up.
