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.

The TV news just said it is suppose to be the coldest New Years Eve on record in Times Square. It looks windy.

You look cold.

Or happy to see us…

The camera at TGIF is the best one the rest are boring.

I see you! You look cold.

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.

Now there’s a cop posted there.

The cops just secured the metal fence barricade in front of TGIF.

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.

It’s 25 degrees, I don’t get it are all these people going to stand around for 7 more hours freezing their asses off just to watch a ball drop when they could sit at home and watch it on the internet?

It sure looks cold at Time Square.

Knology has been good except the price keeps creeping up.

Slovakia switches to Euros tomorrow. Sigh. Another European nation giving up its pretty money (in this case, the koruna).

I’m looking into satellite, and I gotta tell you. It looks good.

auld lang syne

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

I’ve been seeing the same things. I’m with AT&T U-Verse so I don’t know if I’m impacted or not.

My cable has a marquee running on those channels to call your cable company to complain however I have Knology and I don’t think I’ll be effected but I don’t know for sure, I’ll see tomorrow.

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.

It’s getting to be that time again

Happy New Year everybody!

By the way, how does one fit a double penetrating parsnip into a slot anyway?

Lots and lots of sugary sweet slots! We even have slots for tots!

Fat Jerry has the loosest slots in town!

mmmm, slots.

slot car set.

Care to inform us what that would be slang for?

cuz we all know he’s your bitch.

After this christmas, which I can only describe as simply awesome, I’m not so sure. He did a pretty spanking job with that slot car set.

But that Chuck P. story made me think, wouldn’t it be funny if your asshole had teeth?

Now I can buy Spazmo the gold chain he was looking at in the pawn shop.

Make sure it’s the kind you can hook a leash to.  cuz we all know he’s your bitch.

Duchess, you find shit that is as sick as some of the shit I find. That’s why I think you’re so…

nibbly?

(carefulish@work)

If you go Google shopping for ‘gold chain’.

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.

Thanks LP, I did the Advil route after breakfast. This is the second time in 5 months, good god I must be getting old.

And anyway, I think I made up for some of those calories whoring. All those fucking Johns. Now I can buy Spazmo the gold chain he was looking at in the pawn shop.

Mornin’ Fatties.

Oh come on now. Yes, I did order the California Eggs Benedict at breakfast yesterday, but nobody likes a bully.

Mornin’ Fatties.

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.

Um, not that generous. Just got him a Numark USB Turntable.

Lady P, is this the turntable you presented to Spazmo for Christmas?

GS you just need some morphine....

aon, if for any reason you wish to suppress your appetite for the next 6 months or so, read this.

I never learn, do I? Everytime someone posts this kind of thing my morbid curiosity gets the best of me and I end up paying for it.

Thanks Duchess.

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.
