You know the day holds interesting promise when you get an IM from a friend who lives in your building and it says "Yo! Is that someone parachuting out the window?"

Turns out it was a tethered balloon for a company called "AirPhotos," but still – I had to apologize to my cat for scaring the hell out of it as I bolted for my camera.

Either that, or NYC is under attack from a new breed of flying Jellyfish.
