I just received notice that our building is officially surrounded by water coming up from the Hudson and over the West Side Highway.

It’s not even 8:00pm yet and that’s when the surge is really supposed to push.

It’s a strange feeling…to be so concerned about an office building. It’s not something most 9-5’rs (do those exist in Manhattan?) really understand but it truly is my second home.  I care about that Frank Gehry structure and while I’m relatively certain that the damage won’t be anything catastrophic, there’s still a protective presence that I can’t really explain. How over dramatic would it be to state that I kind of understand why people don’t leave their homes when severe weather is heading towards them simply because they need to “protect” what they have?

I’m safe and sound and we were joking earlier about how “Sandy isn’t really impressing us” but now that it’s dark and we’ve seen just a flicker or three of the lights in this apartment, it’s all becoming a bit more eerie. 

Emily posted this. E Levin…  L.E.S  - I miss you. That’s all 

"I wish my moderate Republican friends would simply be honest. They all say they’re voting for Romney because of his economic policies (tenuous and ill-formed as they are), and that they disagree with him on gay rights. Fine. Then look me in the eye, speak with a level clear voice, and say, ‘My taxes and take-home pay mean more than your fundamental civil rights, the sanctity of your marriage, your right to visit an ailing spouse in the hospital, your dignity as a citizen of this country, your healthcare, your right to inherit, the mental welfare and emotional well-being of your youth, and your very personhood.’ It’s like voting for George Wallace during the Civil Rights movements, and apologizing for his racism. You’re still complicit. You’re still perpetuating anti-gay legislation and cultural homophobia. You don’t get to walk away clean, because you say you ‘disagree’ with your candidate on these issues."

So, Shell is starting its ad campaign promoting its upcoming destruction of the arctic in search for more oil. Because they’re idiots, they decided to open their server to an ad contest to see who could come up with the best ad. Shell underestimated the internet, so here’s my six favorite Shell Ad Campaign Trolls.
