A blog about New York City, my books, and my cats. Mostly.
I should have shot more of the parade, and more of people in costume. Next year! I’m off the the Marathon. I think. It’s a little dreary out though, and curling up and watching from the couch is look pretty inviting.
I’ll be back tomorrow with a movie of some West Village Halloween highlights, hopefully. But I might leave early for the marathon.
It’s going to be a great weekend. Tomorrow is Halloween, of course, and Sunday is the Marathon. I walked home through Central Park yesterday after a meeting, and they were setting up for the marathon.
I was already feeling like it was such a perfect day, mostly because of the leaves, I think. They were everywhere, with that wonderful leaf-pile fragrance. Then when I came upon a press conference about the Marathon, I don’t know. That just put me over the top. I’ve always loved Marathons. All that energy and effort, I’ve decided that something must physically be happening to everyone who is nearby when a marathon is run. Because I get, and I think everyone gets, what feels like an endorphin rush, just by standing on the sidelines cheering.
Obviously I need to get a better shot, but I wanted to post proof of crash. The Tardis has once again crashed into a building on Perry Street. It’s nice that the Doctor visits us every year, but what is it about Perry Street that affects his driving/piloting skills?
What is wrong with me that I can’t ever get a decent shot of this?? I’m going blame my camera. Yo, camera. Get it together. You can be replaced. Actually, wait a minute. You know I can’t afford to replace you. Oh Jesus. My camera is evil.
I want to see the complete Bill series, which are all combined in It’s Such a Beautiful Day. But for now, this is a great introduction. Oh! And if you want to hear the complete Bizet duet, here is a version that should give you chills.
