Buddy is gaining weight!! YAY!!  Thank the lord, even though I don’t think there’s a lord.  But just in case.

So yeah.  Good news.  Sigh.

He’s just spotted a pigeon here.  Cat owners will recognize that “just spotted a bird” expression.

Did I mention I bought a new computer?  I bought a refurbished Macbook from Apple. Even though it’s refurbished it’s still the latest model, and it comes with the same warranty. 

I can’t wait to play with all the new toys.  I signed up for classes to learn Leopard (I’m still using Tiger) iphoto and imovie.

Pretty soon I will be able to make better pictures and better movies, woohoo!

It’s due to arrive on Wednesday and my first class is Thursday morning.

By the way, my band is playing at Grand Central Station tomorrow morning, something to do with Earth Day.  I’m thinking of going.  Should I go?  I’m so unpracticed, but still.  I think the main reason I’m hesitating is we’re supposed to march around, parading and drumming, which can be fun, but it’s kinda hard to do, and I might mess up being so unpracticed.

I’m on a roll with pigeons.  I was uploading this picture when I noticed this guy in the corner. (Please scroll down.)

Hey little guy!  Ohmygod, I want to do a pigeon series!!  Perhaps to compensate for the Cricket Coleman pigeon painting I cannot possess, but I’m getting into the idea.

Today I’m lugging both cats to the vet, with Howard’s help. Please please please have gained weight Buddy.  He still hadn’t gained any last time. But I think he has gained a very small amount this month.  Finney has this persistent itchy butt thing. I’ll spare everyone the details.

I wasn’t feeling well yesterday so I took the day off, but now I am way behind in everything, email, etc.

 
Oh, but perhaps a good new movie has opened today.

I was just talking on Echo about how I covet this painting by my friend Cricket Coleman, but her mother got it first.  I still haven’t recovered from that disappointment.  Here it is.  This should be mine.

This is earlier shot of Bryant Park, taken a few hours before the one in the post below.  

My plan for the day was to lay on the couch and do nothing, but so far I’ve sat at my desk doing nothing.  It’s a total waste of a do-nothing day.

I met someone for a drink who I hadn’t seen in, like 15 years, and it was lovely.  And also entertaining. We met in a bar in a hotel and it was like we had traveled back in time to when people thought dressing up the cocktail waitresses in some sort of darker Playboy bunny-type costume was a good idea.  It was just so archaic, and silly.  I was embarrassed for all involved. 

Then I was on a panel at the New York Public Library, which was fun, and then I had dinner with my agent.  It was delicious, we caught up, talked about life, publishing, writing.  Just an all around home run of a day.

Bryant Park was lit up for a movie they were shooting, and I kept trying to capture the eerie look to the trees, but I don’t think I managed.  Here is my attempt though.  Actually, this kinda does convey it.
