The Day After - Coney Island Ave, Brooklyn

The picture above is becoming the iconic image of Blizageddon 2010 - showing abandoned cars, taxis and buses on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn the day after the storm. Now we have video ...

 

BTW: since when are there so many yellow cabs in Brooklyn??

It kind of reminds me of the 1983 TV Movie - The Day After  (below) - which depicted a nuclear holocaust and scared the crap outta me when I was in high school. Back then we weren't afraid of terrorists per se, but we were completely frightened of the big, bad Soviet Union and their nuclear arsenal. This ghost-town-like video of NYC creeps me out just the same as the movie did.

Home Is Where The Luggage Is

Yes, I made it back to NYC last night - and I must say there were no problems on either Amtrak or the NYC Subway. I WAS a little surprised to see piles of snow inside the subway station (like the ones above) - but the streets were plowed and the sidewalks were shoveled. But DAMN - this city got a ton of snow. I'm kinda sad that I missed it - NYC is at its best during a crisis. Although I can't say the same for our billionaire Mayor - Mike "Deal With It" Bloomberg.

Anywhore, I spent all last night petting kitties, opening mail (thanks for the cards everyone!), and did I mention petting kitties?? Also, Mom and Dad both got Oscar and Dusty presents (yes, we are THOSE KIND of cat people) - so there were treats to distribute and catnip to deal out like a drug kingpin. Thank goodness for the kitty treats, because after all this catnip my two stoner cats are bound to get the munchies.

Posting will be very light today - because I'm going to relax, deal some more catnip (too bad I can't get paid for that), and maybe even do some laundry.

How was YOUR Christmas??

Singing In The Rain ...

Anybody know what this guy's name is?? He looks really familiar, but I'm drawing a blank.

Can somebody help an old and forgetful Queen with a name? Also, an address and telephone number would be helpful because I'd like to stalk him  tell him how much I appreciate his work ...
