Happy birthday, Jessica! With cake!
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy birthday, Jessica!!!!!

Happy b-day!
I keep seeing American Apparel ads splattered everywhere that are convincing me to never ever shop there. It's not 1982! Those glasses and hair were fugly then, they still are!
I'm not feeling kindly towards fall, but that may be due to tracking soggy dead leaves everywhere in my wake and the sheet of them covering my car and gutters.

Punishingly Intricate
Happy birthday, jessica!
So tired. Dog up at 4 and never really settled down again and I had to get up at 6 for yoga. Am so tempted to just lie on the floor of my office and practice a nice long shivasana. They might rethink giving me an office though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It's spring here of course, and I've discovered that my new neighbourhood has masses of bottlebrush planted everywhere. Fantastic stuff.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Thanks everyone!
It's cold and gray today, but I also love New York in autumn.

I also love New York in autumn
I love it that people who live in a place, work in it, have a routine and being-in-a-hurry in it, still find the time and space to appreciate its beauty and specialness and changes.
[Edit: and, um, this has nothing to do with how I had a little crush on NYC when I was lucky enough to visit it. I would have said the paragraph above about anywhere!]
