Reorientation

Spent the day vaguely working and desultorily packing up my desk. The place looks rather different with everyone's detritus in boxes rather than scattered about.

A few other familiar things seen from a novel angle:

Piling blocks

While channel-flipping tonight, I ran across a bit of docu about Dale Chihuly's installation in Jerusalem. I was enjoying the Dude! Excellent glass! feeling when they got to the good part. He brought in these massive - looked like about 6'x4'x4' - blocks of ice from Alaska and built a wall of them. Then he got them backlit and let them melt. It took three days.

I am just bowled over. It looked amazing, and there are so many symbolic layers to the thing. I <3 art.


Today's earrings: hands, rocks

Bedtime reading: Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman

Particulates

When I left the house this morning, I was a little bemused that there was fog in the east instead of in the west. It wasn't until this evening until I realized that wasn't fog but a cloud of smoke.

Hope everyone's breathing easily.


Today's earrings: swords, estrogen molecules

Order the cheese tray

Got dinner at my local Fancy Restaurant. Excellent food, which made me all cheerful-like. The headwaiter guy has found his truelove and is beaming happiness in all directions. awwww

Later, Howie was (finally!) eliminated. Good evening all around.

My business cards came in! I'm official!

Just like a real live girl.
