Snowpocalypse, Snowmageddon; whatever the weather people decided to call it this time, I was not prepared to wake up to what some people hate (shoveling snow), but what others consider a NYC miracle: a day off from work!
After a surprising office-closed voice message, and marching right back to bed immediately for more sleep, I woke up again later finally feeling refreshed for a change. Looking at my bare cupboards, I decided that it was high time I started making up my Co-op shifts. Well past grace periods, alerts, and the inability to shop for groceries, I have been suspended since July 2009. I wish it was for something cooler than just being lazy, having hangovers, and stockpiling shifts before realizing I was six in the hole (and so was my partner). We either had to bite the bullet or say goodbye. And after some seriously shoddy vegetables at C-Town, I was ready to face the shame. What better day to tackle this than a snow day, where everyone else should be inside? Well, I was wrong about that. Everyone was at the Co-op as well, and with the same bright idea that I had. At least my shame had company.
Above: fresh organic & local produce at a fraction of the cost; Tim and organic soaps, waiting on a really long checkout line.After the strange urge to "work" on my free day off, and after lifting metal carts, dredging people's carriages through slushy snow, and one seriously awesome snowball fight later with Tim, I found a tree had fallen on St. John's street between 7th & 8th ave. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the tree apparently hit an empty car.
Last but not least, another crack at haphazardly self-teaching myself Adobe After Effects CS4 (see first attempt here) using both snowy windows & audio once again - splitting them right in the middle between the two worlds I reside:Music by Jon Brion © Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
