Current mood: melancholy

...NYC is not as cold as Toronto, BUT in Toronto you can more or less count on the fact that the building you are in has been insulated. For my NYC friends, insulation is material, usually some kind of synthetic fiber, or styrofoam board, that prevents the transfer of heat from indoors to out doors.

Speaking of indoor heat, I am now certain the entire NYC home heating industry is a scam run by a little green elf who lives somewhere in the basement of the old Tamani Hall building near Union Square Park [Across from the W Hotel]. Oh, and can someone please tell my neighbors that if your shower takes more than a half an hour [mine generally take 2 minutes and 37 seconds], if they take more than a half hour, well they better be washing the back hair of each one the migrant Mexican workers who seem to pour off the G train each morning at 7:00am... Oh, and speaking of back hairs. Will you please stop slurping your coffee, really it's NOT that hot, AND frick, I've heard you complain more than once that it always too damned cold.

Tonight, I curl up on my couch, turn down the lights a bit, mix up a whopper of a JD&C, read a few pages of my book, flick on the tube. If you'd like to join, by all means, the sweat exchange of body heat is always welcome.

Those with uncleaned, or braided back hair need not apply.
