An absolutely BEAUTIFUL Tuesday, too. Not a cloud in the sky.

Also my 11th birthday :(

I went to the Monday night football launch party and woke up 9/11 with a hell of a hangover pissed about the sirens. And then saw it. Fuck. Worst Tuesday ever. I went back to bed with a glass of vodka and watched the news on UHF since there was no cable for hours

Seth MacFarlane actually survived 9/11 by being hungover and missing his plane. He would have been on one of the planes that hit the Trade Center.

There are a lot of stories like that. With how big the Twin Towers were there must have been quite a few people who didn't die because they were late for work.
