The Lower Lower East Side

I was walking around the very lower east side, looking for an old tenement for the book proposal I’m working on but the building is gone, alas.

This is a picture of the Manhattan bridge. I was trying to figure out what people would have seen out their windows in 1892, but it wouldn’t have been this bridge. But they may have been able to see the Brooklyn Bridge in the distance.

The View From Up Here

I forget why I climbed up on my kitchen counter, but I liked how my apartment looked from up there. Except there are two areas of clutter that are bugging me. The coffee table, and the wires under my desk.

I have tried repeatedly but I have never been able to make those wires look neat. It drives me nuts. The coffee table I can do something about.

I Can’t Wait Any Longer

I quit. Yes, never mind the HUGE container of sunflower seeds hanging behind you. The one that has been there for the taking for the past two months.

That’s right little guy. Almost there.

Oh thank God. Finally. I have managed to feed a bird.

Bug!!

What!

Is!

IT???

I didn’t kill it.

Cool wings, though.

It doesn’t look quite real, does it?

Okay.

Back to Season 1 of Big Bang Theory.

I wish this picture wasn’t out of focus.

It’s bugging me.

And I can’t get the bug back for take 2.

Thank GOD.
