I got a temp job for next week (yay!) so I have to accomplish in a weekend what I would have accomplished next week. Okay, it’s not possible, but I have to try.

Question: Do you think the average reader knows who Jacob Riis was without having to google him?

Looking into the window of a shoe store. I love windows that kinda don’t make sense, that are filled with objects the owner likes or have sentimental value. Or maybe the owner was just, “we have a window, we have to put stuff in it, what do we have lying around?” I should have walked up and focused on that bottom shelf. Maybe I’ll do a series of windows like this.

I’m heading back to the prosthodentist so they can take a mold of my teeth. At the moment I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. What can I think about instead? Fringe is on tonight. The trailer for a movie called Battle: Los Angeles looked amazing. The book is going well, if a little slowly.

I noticed I haven’t been taking a lot of pictures when I go out. I think I’m finally getting sick of the snow, which is just dirty and ugly now, and there’s garbage everywhere because pick-ups have been impossible for so long.

Here’s that building I posted about two posts down, but in 1937. I grabbed this from the New York Public Library images database. Or was it from the new Museum of the City of New York one? I don’t know! I’m losing my mind!

I blame my teeth. I do so much worrying about how much it’s all going to cost and how awful it’s going to be I have no brain cells left for anything else.

I keep discovering that many of my favorite composers were practically infants when they wrote my favorite pieces. I just started researching a 16th century piece and the composer was 28 when he wrote it. Twenty-freaking-eight.

I don’t know a lot about the 16th century. I trying to find out what life was like for the people who originally sang this piece, seminary students I think. I’m hoping to find a book like: What Life Was Life for Seminary Students in the 16th Century Written Expressly For Stacy Horn Because We Thought She’d Need it Someday.

Yesterday I tweeted, “I was thinking, when these cats die, I should do something … drastic with my life. Move to another country. Take a year long road trip.” Seriously though, being alone has many downsides, but one upside is total freedom. I should use it. I could wander all over the world for the rest of my life. As long as I can figure out how to support myself along the way.

I took a picture of this billboard just a week or two ago and Anthony Hopkins was up there. Now it’s scary Little Red Riding Hood? Oh, there is a movie called Red Riding Hood coming out.

Fringe: Always great, one of my favorite shows. Keeps getting better.
Bones: My favorite show. By the way, I love Hannah. I don’t want her and Seeley to stay together, but I love her and I’d be happy to have her become a character on the show.
New favorite show: Dr. Who. What have I been missing all these years, this is GREAT. Love it. If you are not watching this show, give it a try.
Chicago Code: I watched it because of the great review in People Magazine, but I’m going to pass.
The Bachelor: I’m always amazed when the girls start falling in love with the guy. They only show us the most banal conversations between the women and the bachelor, so I never get how this love happens. But I accept that if you’re isolated and encouraged, you can get caught up. But this guy is just so bland and nothing!! I do not accept it.
American Idol: The magic is gone.

I want to live here so I can have coffee on this … thing, when the weather is nice.
