I’ve been obsessively following what’s happening in Iran, but I took a break, put Gigi on, and cropped and tinkered with some pictures I took over the past two days. Now I’m going to watch Eraserhead.  Or read.  But here are a few pictures from my aimless weekend.

Someone scattered rose petals in someone else’s doorway.  (Jealous!)

A pretty thing I noticed on the side of a building.  (Not so jealous, I get to enjoy it too.)

Awww.  Cute little protector Lulu.  (Jealous again.)

Love the flowers, love the flower pot.  (Back to my shared-pleasure-not-jealous position.)

A crowd looking at puppies in the window.  (Mixed feelings.  Cute puppies, but puppy mills!  Very bad.  Evil.)

I love the colors.  I need a table, right?  Or a bench.  (Longing.)

These are children’s chairs, so I don’t long for them per se.  Just something in these colors.

It looks like a dogwood/four leaf clover kind of thing.  Pretty, though, whatever it is.

Right now! This guy! Last seen on Christopher Street, just west of Seventh Avenue.  Anyone know what kind he is?  Speaking of which, I need a tree identified.  Will post later, if people don’t mind helping out.

Andrei Linde (the physicist I was talking about in an earlier post) sent me this amazing photograph he took of Times Square.  I’m posting it with his permission. Why oh why can’t I take pictures like this??  Isn’t it gorgeous?? Times Square looks positively magical.  And very Blade Runner-y.

Mother of GOD, I need to be sedated.  Last week I ordered stackable bins to use as litterboxes, (the minimum order was three).  Yesterday I lugged them all to UPS because I decided they wouldn’t do.  At this point I’ve paid for shipping both ways.

Today they peed next to the latest new box I was trying so I went to the Container Store to look for yet another solution. I’m sure you know what’s coming.  The ones that come the closest to the right dimensions are the very same stackable bins I just returned. I’ve now spent three times what I would have paid.

Before I went out I moved the litterbox to the hallway, in case location was an issue.  I get back and one of the cats had already peed next to the box.  It’s kinda good news because it means I could move the litterbox back to the bathroom, except the hallway was easier to clean up.

The cats are back in the bedroom now, high five-ing each other and cracking up I’m sure. Here is the new set up.  Go ahead Buddy.  Drive me right over the edge. I know you want to.
