Why you shouldn't use Crayola Window Crayons in the shower.

I recently heard about these crayons Crayola makes for writing on glass and in the process of finding a local vendor for them I learned about bath tub crayons. Of course, when I went to Office Depot all they had were the window crayons. I figured they'd  be just as good in the shower, right?  Not so. While the tracing of my own face I did on the mirror before I turned on the water survived, the drawings I did on the bathroom tile *during* the shower melted real quick. Ah well. Anyone know where I can find bath tub crayons?

NYC Under Snow pt2: Subway Shots and The Garment District Wears White Before Spring

The only pics that really need a caption in this bunch are the ones on the train. At one point, on the Downtown A, the train slowed and stopped so I took a few pics of the train we were passing by at the time.  Luckily, we didn't stop for long and I was only ten minutes late to my dayjob.

The rest of the pics are Midtown Manhattan in snow. Kinda pretty, huh?

NYC Under Snow (01/27/11 edition)

My neighborhood looks very winter-wonderlandy this morning. I'm guessing about 6 inches fell. Maybe 8?  The only plowed street in this batch of pics is Broadway. Bennett (the street people are walking down the middle of) may have seen a plow at some point before the snow stopped but 193rd and 192nd, definitely didn't and while the sidewalk outside my building was shovelled not all sidewalks were.  Still, it's a gorgeous morning in NorMa* (North Manhattan) this morning.

*I'm 99% sure I'm the only person who calls Uptown Manhattan that.
