Snapshots
Random photos and stuff. Things I think look kinda cool.
Tense stressful day ahead.
I think The Quiet Man arrives today. I'm alternating between Woody Allen and John Wayne, and it suits me perfectly.
Reading The Arabian Nights. The Richard Burton translation - which has a flowery Arabic FEEL to it and I love it. I read a couple pages a day. It's all I'm fit for right now. Now I know why generations of schoolchildren are literally swept away by the magic carpet ride herein. You just are transported to another world. And you NEED to know: "But what happens next??"
Breathe. Don't forget to breathe.
Dinner with Ted tonight.
Window at Tiffany's.
Weather-beaten chairs on my roof.
59th and 5th - it was a black stormy sky with a burst of sun hitting the white marble buildings. Breathtaking.
Apple Store, stormy day
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Buildings on edge of Columbus Circle.
They call me "No Shame Sheila."
More photos here!!
I like John Wayne's funny movies and his fights where everybody is against everybody =]

"Wipe yer muddy boots!"
"Come a'runnin'? Come a'runnin!"
"When I drink water, I drink water, and when I drink whiskey, I drink whiskey."
"He died in Australia...in a penal colony...."
I can't think specifically of any more - it's been so long since I've seen it I'm afraid I'll misquote it...but I've just been sitting here with scenes running in my head...I have to see that again soon, I think.

I cannot even tell you how much I love that sentence.

I'm vaguely frightened of that Apple store.
Posted by: Lisa at June 13, 2007 10:17 AMLisa - I'm kinda scared of it too. Especially at night - because all the glass goes black, but the Apple stays lit up - so it looks like it's this disembodied thing floating in the air. hahahaha
And those Tiffany's windows!! Amazing, right?
Posted by: red at June 13, 2007 10:37 AMJayne - I believe the first time I saw that movie was at your house!!
Posted by: red at June 13, 2007 10:38 AMEmily - hahahahaha
A little Duke, a little Wood-man, a little Duke, a little Wood ... All's right with the world!
Posted by: red at June 13, 2007 10:39 AMLove the light hitting that Tiffany's window.
And the strange little counterpoint of the skull and crossbones motif on the -- what, scarf? -- in the background.
Hahaha. Look at your screensaver.
