Imaginary Lines from an Imaginary Hurricane Sandy Sex and the City Episode

Meanwhile uptown, Samantha was doing a different kind of blowing.

Later that day I got to thinking about how hard communication is even when the city is up and running. If I hadn’t heard from Mr. Big all last week, why was I expecting to hear from him tonight, when half of New York was without power? When it comes to dating, aren’t we always in the dark?

“Sandy? More like Hurricane Feelin’ Randy!”

It was then Charlotte decided that if hundreds of her fellow New Yorkers were out there in the cold, bringing supplies to evacuation centers, the least she could do was be bighearted and give Harry a helping hand.”

Charlotte: “Samantha! You didn’t call for two days! I had no idea if you were okay!”
Samantha: “Oh, I would say I was more than okay.”
Charlotte: “Did you stay dry?”
Samantha: “The opposite, in fact. I was wet. Wet all night long.”

I was lucky enough to profile the world’s most delightful genius over at Wired. Technically, Dr. Joachim Kohn is part of a Wired series called “World’s Most Wired,” because of his groundbreaking work in military-funded regenerative medicine. But trust me, he is also delightful and brilliant! Check out the story here and the rest of the WMW series here.

So Tegan and Sara are releasing a new single on Tuesday. Here’s the leaked performance.

When I was 12, my sister would play their demo tapes while she drove me to school. When I was 15, I found out that my high school guidance counselor was their mom. And immediately developed debilitating mental health problems that required twice-weekly high school guidance counseling.

Obviously, there is some higher power at work here. Of course, I don’t have romantic feelings for either of them or anything.
