12:00pm: The Hurricalypse Begins

The subways just shut down.

It's official.

Hurricalypse 2011 has begun.

So far, we've had a little rain. We went out to brunch (as did everyone else in Manhattan, apparently). The place was packed. We got our food 45 minutes after we ordered it and we never got napkins, or my order of scrambled eggs on the side. Clearly, they were understaffed and overbooked.

Afterwards, we headed over to the Duane Reade and picked up a few last-minute supplies. The usual: band-aids, matches, Diet Coke, and Starburst FaveREDS (the ones where all the flavors are red: cherry, strawberry, watermelon, and fruit punch - they're awesome). We're all set.

Now we're all settled in to not leave the apartment for at least 24 hours. I'll be posting non-hurricane-related posts, as well, since, quite frankly, I've got nothing else going on today besides sitting at my computer and maybe playing Taboo later.
