Friday. Full days and full nights

Today was such a good day. Great coffee in a beautiful little shop with a great lady. Great dinner in a swanky restaurant with another great lady. Good conversation abound. Walking outside with sunshine and the perfect soundtrack. Give me full days. Give me full nights.

Wednesday. Beginners

I watched Beginners yesterday, and it was terrifically good. Adorable dog, beautiful man, beautiful woman, interesting and humanly flawed characters, and a Velveteen Rabbit quote that made me cry (seriously, how is that a children's book?).

Monday. Sunday t.v. day




Richard Harrow is my favorite character on t.v. right now, and Boardwalk Empire is my favorite show. He breaks my heart every time I see him. I really just want to give him a hug and a kiss.

The second picture is from this. I came across it a couple of years ago, and while I never forgot it, it slipped to the back of my mind. As soon as I saw Mr. Harrow, it came right back. It's so amazing.

Sunday






This site is so great. So many amazing photos. The Eartha Kitt and James Dean one blows me away.

Thursday

This video was all hand drawn! It took 1850 marker drawing and two months to make it. Amazing! The song is really pretty too.

Wednesday. Little old lady

This is Clementine. She's not the best thing I saw today, though she is most days. No, today I met this teeny, bent over old lady while waiting for the bus. There's a pic of Clem because we talked about cats. At one time she had 16 strays in her house. "16, can you believe it! It was nuts." Now she's down to 4, and the oldest one, who she said is as old as her and the mom of the remaining cats, rules the roost.
"I'm glad I have them. It would be a pretty lonely house if they weren't there."

Wednesday. The walk home

Today I walked home. I walked from the Portage entrance of Assiniboine Park to home, which is on Broadway. Took me an hour and a half, but there were some pretty great things along the way, namely so many crows.

Wednesday: Jane Eyre

"It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. Millions are condemned to a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in silent revolt against their lot. Nobody knows how many rebellions besides political rebellions ferment in the masses of life which people earth."
