Everytime The Day After Tomorrow is on TV, I watch some if not all of it. I always think two things too. 1) Jake Gyllenhaal is a hottie! and 2) what would I do if this really happened?
So this is what I would do.
If I had been in my old apartment, I would stay in my bedroom since its the smallest room and faces the east so the sun comes in in the morning. Here, in this apartment, I would go into Joe's room because it faces the south, has the smallest window and the bathroom is attached.
I would first, fill the tubs and sinks with water. I would move the rabbit, cat and dogs into the room. I would bring up cooking utensils and all of the towels and blankets from downstairs. I would bring up the futon matresses. I would bring up all of the books and wooden furniture. When I would have ran out of room, I would leave the furniture in the hallway. I would bring up all of the food and dog food.
From my room, I would bring in all of the paper products and books. All my clothes, all the blankets, towels and pillows and the futon mattress too. The wooden furniture would go into the hall.
Now that I have secured myself into Joe's room (this assumes that he is here and helping me with all of this), I would put a sign on the front door, my bedroom window, and Joe's door so that if anyone came around looking for survivors, they can find us.
I would rig up something so we could build a fire without burning down the apartment. And so we didn't sufficate from the smoke, I would figure out some way to funnel most of the smoke out a small crack in the window. I'm thinking something with the BBQ grill
or a metal trash can and the dryer vent hose for the smoke.
I would pad the walls-in particular the window and door-with the futon mattresses as insulation. Blankets and pillows and excess clothes would be stapled on the walls for insulation too. We'd have to have a hammer or a hatchet so we could break down the furniture to burn it.
I would stuff the rabbit's cage with hay and cover it with blankets so he could burrow deep into it. I would cuddle with Joe and the dogs and the cat near the fire in lots of blankets and as many clothes as I could put on. If the dogs and cat couldn't stay with us (near us), I would cram them all into Mary's cage and cover it with heavy blankets near the fire. But I think the dogs would help keep Joe and I warm..
Other people could come and stay in our place if we thought there was enough space. BUT they would have to bring food and blankets and things to burn. More people, closer we could get together and keep warm.
I would hope that this would be enough to keep us warm and alive. Of course, someone would eventually have to find us (or us find them). And the house roof couldn't collaspe or we'd be screwed.
