Me in my College Days

An old friend from college, Sandra Whaley, uploaded a picture she had taken of me to Facebook. I love this picture! I can’t remember ever curling my hair so I asked her what the occasion was. Maybe it’s graduation? I graduated in 1978. That’s my camera (which was stolen a couple of years later). And I’m smoking! (I quit in 1986. I hope I quit soon enough.)

Why are we giving Michael Vick a second chance?

I just checked the Best Friends website to see if something had happened that I didn’t know about, but no.

“From what we at Best Friends know of the way Michael Vick has related to the animals he abused, the answer is clearly that he has “simply rediscovered the pocket.” Best Friends took 22 of Vick’s 48 seized dogs and the only contact we’ve received from Vick or his representatives was by way of some overtures from his agent, one of his attorneys and a PR firm specializing in reputation rehabilitation. They were interested in some public glad handing that would put Vick in a favorable light with the NFL, which at the time was still considering whether or not to reinstate him. We declined.”

“Best Friends has never heard from Michael Vick or any of his representatives inquiring after the health or well being of any of the 22 dogs that we received from his fighting ring.”

Their full statement is here. My statement: fuck you Michael Vick. The picture is of Georgia, one of the dogs rescued from Michael Vick. If you’d like to donate to help out George, click here.

I haven’t been getting shots I just love. I’m not good with snow. Or night. I’ve decided. This is Greenwhich Avenue, near 7th Avenue and 11th Street.

Marc Jacobs is open!

I wanted to take pictures of every poor dog having to walk and go to the bathroom in the snow. Some loved it, most looked miserable.

From the roof. This almost doesn’t look real.

This is torture!

I am so so so so behind in what I should have done for the month in writing but I want to go out there and explore! This is looking down the fire escape.
