christmas lights

so I know it’s no longer the holiday season and whatever, but it’s particularly gray and all doom and gloom today, so here: christmas lights to cheer you up.

conservatory show ish

Went to this show on a monday, sometime before christmas. The poor first guy had almost nobody there… I think his mom was taking pictures at one point, while the rest of us were off in the bar area, waiting for Rico Muerte to play. He wasn’t bad, except all of his songs were about his girlfriend. Then RM came on, solid rock, then some dudes from savannah with way too much gear but decent sound and then I left before it was over because some of us have to work at 8:30 in the morning. I’m not happy about it, but that’s the way it is.

a moment

Sometimes there’s a moment when I see something and I realize the world is changing; we say things are different now but it doesn’t really affect the mood in my head, but then I see something like this guy hanging down from the broadway extension to do god knows what maintenance, and something clicks. Hundreds of feet in the air like some kind of hero, just doing his job. Not ‘everyday hero’ but ‘this wasn’t possible before’; something outside my personal mythos. And then for a while my thoughts are colored by the fact the the world is bigger and stranger than even I thought; and that’s saying something.

My house is clean! (pictures unrelated)

This is worth a blog post by itself… my house hasn’t been this clean since last spring at least… pretty sure I swept sometime last march… not really. But shit had gotten out of hand what with me having no time to clean and less energy than time. I scrubbed everywhere that needs to be scrubbed, swept what needed to be swept, and all my dishes are clean. funny story: my house stays cleaner when I’m broke. Although why I didn’t do this in the months between getting back from egypt and starting the new job I don’t know. anyway yeah, photos unrelated (from Athena and Aphrodite’s bday party):
