Another house in the desert!

I must have one of these dwellings; a double-wide for me and Greg.



Louvers:



Under-floor storage:



Stove-n-sink to die for!




































Natural alarm clock:

The other windowsill

Open spring window!!



With specimens.

Feels good.

Windowsill flora update

Christmas cactus is doing well.



Bulb . . . not so much.



I think it's a dud.

UPDATE: Beth says, put it in dirt.

Do you think she looks excited for her new navy-blue shorts?

I think she does.

Future

I got it pretty much mapped out.





Yep.

I am digging on this!

Check out this guy's house in the desert!

McCarren Park

The park came alive this weekend!

Blue skies (and garbage):



Baseball:



Dogs:



Hipsters:



Beer drinking:



Springtime in Williamsburg!

New styles: shopping bag

No, not a canvas tote bag. Not a Tyvek or nylon tote bag either. Nor a carefully preserved paper bag from a fancy store: I'm talking about the plastic kind, from Met Foods!



Grab one from under the counter. Stick your stuff in it. There you go!

I think it's a good look. And it's free. Own it!

More Mom

My mom transported the skate egg cases in this bag:



Bulk Barn! Le plus important détaillant d'aliments en vrac Canada! From the Real Atlantic Superstore mall on Portland Street in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia!

I ain't seen one of these in a long, long time.

Biggest envelope in the world!

Right?

Thanks Mom!

In addition to the camping kettle, butter, and bowl, she brought us this array of specimens from the Jersey Shore.



We think there are mini (fetal?) sharks—or skates?—inside!

Kinda gross, kinda cool.

Raise your hand if you don't like this dress

Pretty nice.

New sweater

Well, it used to be a sweater.

Thanks eBay!

Thanks Mom!

In addition to the camping kettle, my mother brought us:

Canadian butter!



And a beautiful bowl she made herself.





Thank you!

Moby Dick

I came upon this place just as I was listening to the part in Moby Dick where Queequeg has his coffin made.





Creepy.

I know this is sophomoric

But it still made me laugh.





Ha!

Laws of chemistry

This place opened down the street from my house on the weekend. Greg and I stopped by to try their coffee on Sunday AND IT WAS PACKED! Seriously, there was a long, long lineup, people at the deli case, all the chairs were full, there were four employees working full out.



It made me think about osmosis: Hipsters must immediately pass through the semipermeable membrane of the doorway of a new place like this, to balance their distribution in the environment.

I am lucky

I work in a beautiful place.

MORE beautiful scarves that I can't afford

S-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-gh. I'll add them to the list.

Easter eggs

Look at the colors of these eggs.



Neutrals are in.

Camping kettle!

My mother came to visit, and I asked her to bring me our old camping kettle, since she was trying to clean out the basement.

I think everyone thought it was a pretty eccentric request. But look at it!







Exactly as I remember! They don't make them like that anymore.

And we needed a kettle.



Used it this morning. So there.

Wild parrots of Brooklyn!

Green-wood Cemetery.







Bad pics, but still cool!

New York weirdness

People here say "on line."

It has nothing to do with the Internet!



"In" line, people.

Wait "in" line and inform Station Agent in Booth!

Folders anyone?

Discretion prevents me from identifying the user of these computers.

Carriage house for sale in Greenpoint

Affordable!





We're going for it.

Rainy Friday

Stepping out the door.

DVD player malfunction

Greg opens 'er up and takes a look.





Go Greggy!

Best of Midtown

Am I right?

Grande Monuments

On Graham Avenue in Williamsburg.



Pick up a marble grave marker!



And a loaf of bread?



Sold out. Bummer. Awesome "sold out" sign though.
