- Hi, my name is Irene. I'm super crazy, also a tad creepy.
Do you have plans to see
Crazy, Stupid, Love for the third time this weekend? Me too. Better plan on catching the early-bird showing tomorrow or risk being stranded forever and ever in a movie theater, which would be kind of fun if you really love Junior Mints and waiting in line to use the bathroom, but would probably get old after a while.
Look here. The MTA will be shutting down all subway and bus routes starting at noon tomorrow on account of you-know-who. According to the
Times, wind calculations suggest that subway trains running above ground would be in danger if service endured during the storm.
Plan accordingly and be safe this weekend. I just downloaded this awesome free flashlight app for my phone, so I should be fine. Hope you guys are too! And you also, L Mag distribution boxes! You guys hang in there!
