The Park

The one downside about living downtown—we don’t have the park. I love walking alongside it almost as much as inside it. It makes me feel regal.

Buddy update: He’s been on the metronidazole for ten days and it hasn’t had any effect. I’m going to call the vet today to discuss.

Why does everyone love Avatar?

I don’t get it. Most of my friends said the story wasn’t much, but the special effects were amazing, so why didn’t the 3D blow me away? And I saw it in the best IMAX theatre in the city. We also got there WAY early to get the best seats. (In the back in the middle.) Well I took pictures. Here is when there was only a few of us.

Now the theatre is filling up!

And this is looking inside the new Apple store, on our way back down to the street.

I’m Going to the Movies Today

bulbs2
I saw these Christmas bulbs hanging on a tree on the upper west side the other day. It’s the little things. Little things like a shower, which I’m going to be able to take in a few minutes because there was no hot water here yesterday, YET AGAIN.

Other little things I have planned for my day: a movie with a friend, cat petting, a new Bones episode (and Fringe, and Grey’s Anatomy), good food will be had at some point, I’m just not sure what yet, I might take a walk after the movie, and I’ll have my camera of course so some picture taking, when I feed the birds I will have the pleasure of seeing that the food I left out for them yesterday was eaten, I’ll be making a list of the things I want to look for at the Municipal Archives and that will make me happy, knowing I’ll be going on a treasure hunt soon and oh god I just remembered!!

Did you all see that Times article about sitting and watching tv or reading, or working?? Apparently if you sit for a few hours every day, even if you exercise every day all that sitting greatly increases your chances of dying from anything. It cancels the exercise out. I am so screwed.

Resting

God, did I not accomplish a lot today. There’s not a lot I can do about it now. The day is gone. I will chalk it up to a loss and try to do better tomorrow. Thank God for choir rehearsal tonight.

Here is my sweet Buddy resting. Poor little guy. I pill him all day long, it feels like. He is resting on my Brahms score, which is about resting in peace.
