Last night’s Bones episode: There was a lot to love about it, and the end was very exciting, but ultimately it got me mad. Come on. We know she’s capable of love so her response just wasn’t believable. It wasn’t even human. And Seeley would not have given up so easily. I believe she’d be scared and resistant, but I think by now they both understand why (abandonment issues) and she’s gotten to know him well enough and more importantly, to completely trust him, and he’s ready to help her.

I’m happy to see how this plays out, but I feel a bit jerked around. They’re ready. That aside it was still an exciting episode from start to finish. It just moved well, unfolded well, it was pretty perfect. It was a wonderful instance of writers, director, actors and everyone else involved coming together exactly right. And I LOVED the backstory. Last night made me fall in love with the characters and the show all over again. (Oh, Zack.) So good job everyone. (But for the love of God, get those two together.)

I took a bunch of pictures last night and most of them didn’t come out and the ones that did aren’t great. I will try again tonight.

I’m still trying to get a decent action shot of the pigeons.

My shots are never sharp enough, though.

And there’s never enough contrast between the background and the pigeons. Pigeons do not know how to compose their flights, apparently.

Here are my most recent efforts.

So, yeah.

What else is going on?

Rehearsal with the orchestra tonight!! Woohoo!!

Three Views. I have to run to my Census post, but I’ll be back to post about the crazy reactions to the Census. Meanwhile, a beautiful tree grows on Broadway. The last shot I took at night, after choir rehearsal.

I’ve been trying everything, and something is working. Glutamine. I bought L-Glutamine 500 mg capsules from Thorne Research. I can’t be sure of what dosage Buddy is getting. I fill up two pill pockets and give that to him each day. I’m guessing he’s getting around 100mg a day.

Almost two months ago I started giving him Ark Naturals Gentle Disgest for the probiotics, and Ark Naturals Royal Coat Express for the omega 3 fish oil. But two weeks ago I started the glutamine and his stools have really started firming up in the past few days. The other things could be helping, his coat is gorgeous, but I really am seeing a difference after he’s been on the Glutamine.

My new goal is to get a great action shot of the pigeons. This is not it, alas.

So it’s concert week for the Grace Church Choral Society! Very exciting. But something different is going to happen this week. Due to the restoration work being done at Grace Church the dress rehearsal and the performance will take place at St. Thomas Church.

St. Thomas is at 53rd and Fifth. A whole different part of town. It will be so weird to sing at a different place after decades of singing at one location only. To sing out in totally unfamiliar territory. But I can’t wait.

This part of town has a high nostalgia quotient for me. When I moved back to NY after college, the first job I got was a temp job selling jewelry at Tiffany’s, which is at 57th and Fifth.

Every day I took the E train to 53rd and Fifth and walked up to Tiffany’s. There was a lot I didn’t like about working at Tiffany’s, but there was a lot I loved. When the temp job ended they offered me a full-time position, but I didn’t take it. It didn’t seem like a real career to me, selling jewelry. I was 22 and I just felt that there were a lot more exciting things out there that I could be doing with my life.

But part of me has always missed it. I loved the feel of the place, and the constant interaction with people who were usually there to do something nice, to buy something beautiful for someone they loved. I loved trying to help boyfriends and husbands buy something special for their wives and girlfriends. I had also scoured the place for the most beautiful things that cost the least amount of money so I was always especially helpful to the guys who had to be more frugal.

However, I was really scouring the place for something for myself, and what I chose were the Elsa Peretti mesh earrings. I still have them and I should totally wear them in honor of the 32 years (good-freaking-lord) that have gone by. I should wear them in honor of choices. Oh God have I made a lot of bad choices in my life. Actually, there’s really no way of knowing if that is true. What if I had taken the Tiffany job, for instance. Who knows where I’d be now if I had? There’s just no way of knowing if it would have been better or worse.

I still think these earrings were one of the best buys in the place!
