24, 25/365: Rain!

We have had a nice change from the snow over the last few days.  It has actually been too warm in my apartment.  This could potentially be due to the fact that Jaime and I discovered the knob that turns on our radiator in the living room.  Add this new-found heat source to the above freezing temperatures and the inability to control the heat in our bedroom {there is no knob or on/off switch of any kind} and you get an inferno.  While I was excited to finally have heat in the living room it has made me realize that I can either be too hot or too cold during the winter, and right now I cannot figure out what is worse.

In other news, we had a bit of a scare at work today.  As you all know, I am working in midtown and we have had our share of false alarms and close calls over the last few years...but this story has to take the cake.

You can read about it here, but the short version is:

• an Israeli bank received a suspicious package
• no less than half a dozen fire trucks, and the bomb squad showed up at the building next door
• employees were evacuated from said building
• false alarm
• it was a Hallmark greeting card

At least I know those security guards aren't slacking on the job. 

Now, on to the rainy pictures!

24/365: Keep me Dry

I couldn't decide if I like this in color or black and white. What do you think? {click to make it bigger}

25/365: stay.

I love.love.love this picture. The orange umbrella makes the rainy day seem so much better.

Everyone should be required to carry brightly colored umbrellas in the city.  It would make the dodging pointy edges of umbrellas, inevitably getting hit and getting wet and slipping seem... not as bad....even if just a little. While we're at it, we should also be required to learn at least one song and dance that we could jump into at any second.  Let's be honest, if Gwyneth can do it can't we all?  I truly believe if we lived in a world where we could break into song and dance at any moment, I'd be a lot happier.

Goodnight all!
