Seemingly overnight, the population of snow people in my neighborhood has exploded

I saw the trailer for the new Wuthering Heights and I’m afraid it’s Gatsby on the Moor, people.

@ranjit I recently saw a building in manhattan with blue tarps in every window. From a distance I thought “what a cool lighting effect” but on closer inspection it was just a construction site

@detondev I will bite my thumb at them, which is a disgrace to them, if they bear it.

@tripofmice hope you feel better! So many weird bugs going around this winter.

Random memory that dates me 

Camper van Beethoven played at my college.
In the middle of one of their songs they seamlessly broke into a flawless rendition of Kashmir and I thought it was the greatest thing I’d ever heard

One of the regulars at my windowsill café for birds.

Neon 

Ate dinner in this place, which has been there forever but I’ve never gone in. Borscht & pierogi. The highlight was a table of older east village artist types, writers & poets, musicians probably.
