Unconnected images. Spring. New York. Skylines and flowers and my bulletin board - which apparently I find endlessly fascinating. Too much happening. Can't really read right now. A weird feeling. I finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep finally - I'm only able to read about 3 pages a day - but I finished it this morning. Loved it. And for the most part, I've been reading poetry. That suits my attention span and my non-literal emotional mood these days. Oh, and I've been reading compilations of movie reviews. Tired. Tired. Happy though.
Harses, harses, harses.
Overblown pink tree near my house. Just intoxicatingly beautiful.
Oh. Happy belated earth day! Or - to quote Cashel when he was three years old: "Eeth." (Eg: "8 billion years ago an asteeyoid ceeyashed into the eeth ..." etc.)
The most fascinating billboard in the world apparently. Up to the right is a postcard of a Joseph Cornell box. And then the plane postcard in the middle was given to me by CW when I first met him. The blurry black and white image over to the left is one of the "photo-paintings" by Gerhard Richter.
This is my favorite building in my neighborhood. It seems to be from out of the Mediterranean or Latin America ... it looks best at dusk - the colors most striking. This, sadly, was taken at mid-day - but you can still see the coolness of the colors, lime and melon ...
Dusk, West Houston Street. I love the floating neon yellow hand in the bottom left corner.
Love you, too.

For me, it reminds me of colonial Caribbean (You know, where your dead boyfriend was born). It's the basis for "Rainbow Row" in Charleston:
Rainbow Row
One of these days, ya really need to come down here, knowing your love or history...

I love that they call it Rainbow Row - it has that colonial feel to the houses, but the colors!!
Posted by: red at April 24, 2007 7:07 PMI became addicted to your blog just after Opening Day this year. Talk about it all day at work (in a bookstore.) And now someone suggests you visit Charleston, just down the road from me. So I'll tell you to read Dreams of Sleep by Josephine Humphreys, my favorite Charleston writer. And The Lee Brothers Southern Cookbook. And tell Cashel we love his movies at Barnes and Noble!

He has now moved on to much more sophisticated movie-making but I just LOVE the image of employees at a bookstore watching the adventures of Kung Food Guy. It is totally awesome.
Gonna try to get up to Fenway a couple times this summer - it has been way too long!
