early morning
on
42nd Street
looking east
toward
the
rising
sun
lots of lovely
shadows and reflections
on
the
glass and chrome
facades
sharing with
waiting patiently - eastside
this
sweet
older pup
was smart
he was sitting on a bench
outside a bistro
Sant Ambroeus
Sant Ambroeus
on Madison Avenue in the East 70s
just a block or so away
from
exhale spa
where I was headed
one wet
Saturday morning
not so long ago
friday
its Friday again
actually
its
Thursday as I type
Wipe Out is on w/o sound
just
because
Jack
is gearing up
to throw a temper tantrum
to be noticed
to get food
as if that
ever
works
Rose
is perched on the back
of
the
off white
chair
the
chair
she inflicted a
hairball on
earlier
this week
Time Warner
bless their heart
had issues
we had
no
internets
its back now
Toonman
is
playing cards
the apartment
is
mine
three on thursday - strike up the band
when did I take this photo?
maybe
it was last summer
maybe the summer before that
I dont remember
I do know where it was taken
in front of
on
Columbus Avenue
at one of the summer's
street festivals
So nosy bloggers want to know
do you now
or
did you ever
play an instrument?
Me?
I really wanted to play piano
my grandfather wanted to buy me a baby grand
my mother, oh so wise, vetoed it
why?
as a child
she took piano lessons
and
she knew me well enough to know
I would lose interest
as soon as it became
a lesson
vs
a lark
Oh so wise was my mother
Tell me about your music lessons
water tower wednesday - reflection
See it up there
on the right?
atop
a building across West 81st Street
from the
aka
both
are part of the
that building on the left?
Its called
its a veddy chi chi address
at 221 Central Park West
monday monologue - hipstamatic
I did get to leave early on Friday
yea me!
Toonman was still working
so
I had to wait to totally unlax
after his client left
he had to borrow
my iMac
to do some editing stuff
his iMac
wasnt happy doing
its going to get an attitude
(and DVD/CD player/recorder)
adjustment today
Saturday
was a typical beautification™ day
after
Sandy
at
unfrizzed my hair
I did a little wandering
stopping
by the vet to pick up Rosie's special food
setting up a blood work appointment for the end of the weeek
Rose has chronic kidney disease
but she's still got at least 7 lives left
not to worry
a quick stop at
then home
where I downloaded the clever
Hipstamatic app
Sunday
Susan
at Polished
made my nails a happy spring-like lavender leaning toward heliotrope
I did a little wandering
with both iPhone and P&S
Peter Woytuk
had tweeted that his hens were
finally
installed on the Broadway Mall between 75-76 Streets
directly
across
from Fairway
which is sort of a perfect setting
for
3 hens
I started off
standing
in the street
then got brave
climbed up into the Mall
careful not to step on any of the small leave tips
beginning to poke up through the earth
from the spring bulbs planted there
I got several nice snaps with the P&S
I took a shot with the Hipstamatic app
hey you lookin' at me?
Love these hens
I wandered back uptown
stopping at a shop on Broadway
called
where the window is filled
with amusing rubber duckies
Toonman says reminds him of the Cow Parade
No one paid me to pimp these places and things
I hope you enjoyed the new to me Hipstamatic photos as much as I did taking them!
sunday shadows
this year
and
most of last
during the fall
have been unseasonably warm
I am not complaining
just
explaining
how I am not sure
when I took this
its the small triangle park
between
Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue
at 66 Street
once called
Empire Square Park
(I didnt know that, to me it was always Lincoln Square Park!)
now
its known
as
Richard Tucker Square
read about it
sharing with
wating patiently - keeping watch
this fabulous guy
was waiting
with his man person
while
his lady person
was
ice skating
at
Bryant Park
a few weekends ago
he
only
took his eyes
off
the skaters
to gobble
a treat
given
for being so nice
to the
lady with the
camera
then
it was
back
to
watching
I didnt get his name
but
I think it should be
Barrymore
what a profile!
the week that was
its Friday
again
Friday
its the start of the weekend
even tho
I work a full day on Fridays in the
fall
winter
spring
occasionally I get to leave early
hoping this is one
of
those early escape
Fridays
What's new?
well I have seen a lot of 'new' TV
hate The River
love SMASH
Alcatraz is growing on me
Alcatraz is growing on me
Walking Dead returned
Breaking Bad
(I am still 2 seasons behind)
returns soon
I need to get my streaming on
I am still loving
George RR Martin's brillliant epic
reading slowly through
Dance of Dragons
aside from
wishing/watching/reading
the week has had its excitement
there was Valentine's Day
Toonman
made me
a heart themed Toon
bought me a card
one card more
than
he bought for my birthday
the week before
Hey
thats okay
'cause
he baked me a birthday cake
there's the NY Times delivery debacle
its on going
every
time
a new delivery person takes over the route
chaos commences:
missed papers
papers left on the street
vs
inside the vestibule
someone else's papers
one morning
we got 223 West's
we live at 323 West
another morning brought us
our across the street neighbor's
I think
a requirement for this job should be the ability to
READ
Oh yeah
my good deed
being a mean girl
occasionally
I make the extra effort to do a good deed
my boss found a Blackberry in a cab
could I try and locate the owner
sure
I love solving puzzles
tried to access the Blackberry for email address, name or a contact #
it was locked
I did find the # of the Blackberry
called it
in case the owner checked voicemail
I left a message
I called the Taxi & Commission
filed a report on a found phone
I called Sprint
asked if they could contact the owner
they couldnt
then
the phone
rang!
it was the owner's office!
I explained the situation
a few hours later
the owner
in NYC from Charlotte
on business called
I got his NY office address
messengered it to him
Good deed accomplished
should I ever lose my mobile I sure hope someone will try to return it
thank you
Faye
for the
delicious
fattening
ever so appreciated
birthday surprise
that's about it
not exactly a ya-ha week
there's a long weekend coming
stay tuned!
