The Useless Critic 2.0

I'm not silly enough to consider myself a New Yorker- crap, I lived there for six months. But I had some awesome, awesome friends there. And I still have  awesome friends there. Even Yvette who I worked with and Marjorie as well, who I never got to know as well as I hoped. Jack, Steven, Sam, Kia- and other people like Ian who doesn't live there now and Alyssa who I never really knew until after I went home- well! I know you are not all horribly affected, but I want you to know you are in my thoughts very much right now. Even though New York ate me alive, and I have just really begun to recover from everything that happened while I lived there- it is a fantastic city and this news coverage has broken my heart. Once I get paid again, I will be donating money to relief efforts (I didn't have much of a bed until recently, so I'm not the most well-off girl). If you are interested in doing similar, here are some resources: Red Cross Thin Red Line Don't Get Hoo...

Here are some resources to use if you haven't started preparing yet- and I hope you have! http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/life-lines-where-readers-write/2012/oct/28/hurricane-sandy-eight-tips-how-cope-frankenstorm http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/tips-on-preparing-for-the-superstorm-forecast-to-bring-destruction-to-east-coast/2012/10/28/8a4c3400-2113-11e2-92f8-7f9c4daf276a_story.html http://www.ready.gov/hurricanes I honestly hope someone tells me it's all hype and they opened their door in the middle of the storm to Olivia Newton John saying "hey, STUD." Man oh man. End times? Schmend mimes!
