If you can't say something nice...

I have a lot to say, but very little of it is positive, and therefore I will keep mostly mum.

*crickets*

Governor's Island is interesting. And free.

*more crickets*

The weather was warm and sunny today.

*some throat-clearing*

Yeah, I'm dozing off over here trying to think of something else to say. Exit, stage right.

I'm sorry.

I think you're only going to get photos from now on.

There's nothing to say about my career, and I don't feel like sharing anything else.

Sorry.

Today was hard, but some good stuff came out of it.

I don't even know what to say today.

I have 12 headshots and letters ready to go in the mail today. I'm proud of that.

I'm waiting for the coffee to kick in.

I miss going to dance class. More than I'll admit on a daily basis.

I have to buy a loft bed today.

My apartment was a mess yesterday and I cleaned it up, put my clean clothes away where they belonged, and made neat piles on my desk. I'm proud of that, too.

I have a deep affection for the Brooklyn Public Library.

The Raw Shark Texts was quite boring. And then it got good. Really good. Another winner, in my opinion.

I need a sharp change in the weather. I need a change, period. I feel like I'm covered in silt, like I've drifted into a still pool, out of the main current and into one of those cloudy, weed-littered pools that line a rushing river. I've settled to the bottom and I'm covered with sediment. I need a good, swift kick from an accidental toe to send me back into the current.

Or maybe I just need some vegetables.

I eat eggs for breakfast almost every day. I use the same plate and fork. I always add salt and black pepper. The only variation is whether or not I add green pepper and/or onion. And that depends on whether or not I've chopped anything in the past week.

I finally chopped some onion and green pepper today.

Work today.

We're in between thunderstorms.

No "economic stimulus check" for me

It turns out that I made a mistake on my taxes. Too bad they didn't actually let me know this before they sent me a notice saying, "Hey, we're gonna take this money we were going to give you because you didn't pay an amount you didn't know you owed." Good times.

It's fine, though. I'd rather they take money they were only sort of lending me in the first place rather than my having to pay out of pocket.

I don't have anything else to say. I'm going to be late for work as it is.

Sorry, no photo.

This is how I feel about blogging right now.

Shocked.

If I had taken the next train on my way home today, I would have witnessed this happening.

I can't help but feel that tomorrow when I wake up, everything will be back to normal. Even though I know that there are people who won't wake up tomorrow, or much less go to bed tonight, even though traffic patterns in the cities will change for the next few years, even though (and I'm not being flippant or glib) it feels like 9/11 in that all I can do is watch a disaster on television and do nothing but wait for news, even though I know all of that, I can't quite believe that tomorrow everything won't be the same as it was today.

Thanks to those who checked in.
