A blog about New York City, my books, and my cats. Mostly.
Tons of sirens drew me downstairs last night. I don’t know what happened, but there was lots of FDNY activity, but no fire, on the corner last night. They checked the building, then put up police tape around that part of the block, and at that point I went home. Maybe I’ll see what is up when I go out later.
I was talking to my cat Finney yesterday, it was the usual babble: “Who’s the most beautiful cat in the whole wide world, who is the cutest, who is? Who’s a beautiful boy??”
AND, Siri was somehow activated on my phone, I don’t know how, I never use Siri and I’m not entirely sure how to activate her. Anyway, she was on and she attempted to answer the burning question: “Who is the most beautiful cat in the whole wide world?”
I wish I had saved her answer but she was basically telling me it’s okay to be gay. Something about it being beautiful and okay in her realm. It was quite sweet. So Finney, if you’re gay, it’s cool with Siri and me and the realm. Also, you’re the most beautiful cat in the whole wide world, tied with Bleeck.
Speaking of beautiful, the baritone who is going to be singing Elijah for our Spring concert, Philip Cutlip! Actually, come to think of it, we always have such hot men singing this part. Hmmmm. But this guy, not only does he have an insanely amazing voice, but he can act. For the first time I truly felt the horror of this one part we sing about (murdering a bunch of prophets). Come hear and see the beauty and horror!
Well, it’s an eaglet and an egg at this point. I can’t look away from this Bald Eagle web cam. The eagles (in Washington, D.C.) have been working on hatching two eggs, and so far one has hatched the most adorable eaglet on the planet.
Here are a bunch of screenshots I took this morning. Just try and resist this little guy.
Oh God. I want heem. Although I know he will be a bit of a killer and would make me cry.
I’m taking the day off! Actually, I took yesterday off, but it didn’t quite work. I’m trying again. Here is Bleecker giving me relaxing pointers.
