post-apocalyptic surprise party

i love post-apocalyptic movies. some of my favorites:

yeah, so i like the movies but this nor'easter was no joke. madd shout outs to the elliots for the comprehensive blawg coverage. <-two links there folks, don't miss em.

dummy me tried to go make cookies with john and camille and forged through way too deep water, then tried to turn onto their submerged street right into a huge, fallen tree. great move carter!

anyway, in light of this disaster, and in honor of the soy milk in my stomach that may or may not be sour from our outed power, here are some observations about what might happen in an apocalyptic world event if it mirrors this nor'easter at all:

1. the birds will act weird. i saw this confused swarm of sparrows getting worked by the wind. i also saw what i thought was an attack pigeon, but i think he just got blown into a car. poor little dude.

2. the hair braiding shops will still be open! (ladies) the exotic lingerie shops will still be open! (fellas!)

3. the lights in the nice parts of town will be on. conspiracy?

4. it's a great time to loot!

5. everyone will act like zombies (slow or fast) because the dang coffee machines won't work, and my stupid pilot light went out. omg my life is so hard.
