Proof that the fixation on the lack of snow this winter in New York is not confined to me: a NY Times story today says we had the least snowiest January since 1933. The rest of the article is bullshit, hilariously exemplified by this quote from some random old lady.
“Florida!” Ms. Kirschner scoffed, rejecting a suggested alternative to New York. “It’s damp, hot, boring. Monday I went to the ballet, and the young man in that ballet, boy, he had Baryshnikov beat!”
Can someone explain to me what this quote is doing in this story? Gotta love filler.

Also, this photo, with the caption "THEN AND NOW The outer paths of Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan, on Jan. 19, 2008, left, and Jan. 19, 2007, right," is very, very silly. Look, snow! Look, no snow! Groundbreaking journalism, New York Times.

Well, I don't know what that old bag is going on about. Everyone who's anyone knows that Florida is the place to be for the Baryshnikov Beat. Those Floridians also do one helluva Swayze Shimmy. Watch out!
Oh man, that was hilarious.
Also since things are very slow here in my world, I also just posted photos of snow here.
