Today has been eventful already. I was up till 3 am last night, for reasons unknown to anyone including myself, and entertained myself by looking at pics of Lora's new house. Nobody else had posted anything new at that ungodly hour so I went back to bed, woke up at 8 (????) and went to an early yoga class. I dropped my iPod (which is now dead, as well as my food processor, but may be under warranty) and broke up a fight on the way to yoga. I was walking past a nearby design school and saw 2 guys sparring. One was much bigger than the other. Then the bigger one grabbed the smaller one and really started whaling on him. I looked around desperately for someone big enough to pull the bigger guy away and saw 2 security guards. I yelled, "Officer, there's a fight over there!" and they came running over and broke it up. I was really, really, really relieved.

Anyway, yoga was really nice. Headstand is starting to feel easier for me, though I still need the wall. Hopefully I will be able to kick up into handstand and forearm stand without assistance someday ;)

Last night we went to Surya, a really nice Indian restaurant in the Village, so we could see the Village parade. I went a little later than D because he and M wanted to watched the parade before dinner. I got to the resto and no one was there except DG. D and M got stuck in traffic and my friend T did also. Eventually everyone got there, by 9:20 or so (we were supposed to meet at 8:30).

Anyway, here are some pics from the subway, parade and restaurant. Everyone was very nice about letting me take their picture. BTW, the vampire had flashing red teeth, but they did not come out in the photo.

Do you ever dress up anymore? That guy in the scream mask and no coat looks like he should be CHILLY.

Also, you have very healthy fridge contents. I have one shelf with three pounds of butter and a pumpkin pie on it. I think my famous corn casserole is on another shelf. Yeesh. No pics of my fridge. Too scary.

hehe, i kinda want to see the corn casserole though! it sounds super rich.

i almost never dress up...i did the pigtail and bracelet thing for the Halloween kirtan (basically a Sanskrit concert at my yoga center, we're supposed to go to one), but that was it. when i was little, i liked dressing up as Garfield, Strawberry Shortcake and all that.

I remember when Strawberry Shortcake was at the height of her popularity. I even remember the Purple Pieman.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
