very simple

There was an underground transformer explosion directly in front of my apartment the other afternoon. This is what it looked like when I left to go to dinner. They continued to work throughout the night. directly outside my bedroom window. Not that they had a choice, what with the fire and everything, but I was VERY tired the next day.

I stole these 3D glasses from a showing of “Up” this summer, because they’re much nicer than the normal 3D glasses they give out at Lincoln Square (which don’t even have folding arms, and which hurt my face after about 20 minutes). I’m using this post to remind myself to take these with me when I go to see Alice in Wonderland on Sunday morning (yes, I’ve already got tix). Because when I forgot them at Avatar, it was just icing on the annoyance cake.

Whenever Ollie comes over for a visit, he can’t be physically separated from me. Here, he has jumped on my lap in order to stand there while I attempt to get work done on my computer. He’s very sweet, and very annoying at the same time.

This is starting to get ridiculous. Taken at 10:45 this morning, when it was nowhere near done snowing.

This wasn’t a blizzard. It was giant balls of slush falling directly from the sky.

I was a last minute substitute for my dad, who had the flu, but I got to see A Behanding in Spokane the other night, and it was both awesome and awesomely creepy. As befits any play starring both Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell. And a missing hand.

while this is both the oldest and least pleasant Barnes & Noble location in the city, It has the best signs.

Saturday was my birthday, and my parents sent me these lovely flowers. They’re quite pretty, but my stepmom was a bit annoyed that they included a LOT of red flowers, given that she had specifically ordered a non-red bouquet in order to try to get away from the whole birthday-getting-overshadowed-by-valentines’ day thing. I would have never known the difference if she hadn’t said anything, but I chalked it up to the fact that you’re not getting a whole lot of variety in the middle of February. Still pretty.

this is just sad. I know people have tiny apartments, but there’s just no excuse for doing this to your bicycles.

Note: this was taken at 10:30am, before the bulk of the storm hit.
