Spring Saturday, NYC

Second Jocelyn W. sighting in six months! I motioned to her slowly in ASL as her cab pulled off down 5th Avenue, and I hope she saw! *Squee*! Anyway, photography: Main Library lion Pansies Bulgari Mikimoto (I once visited Mikimoto Pearl Island - even got to meet the 'ama,' the women divers who can stay under for five minutes!) 30 Rockefeller - hiya, Tina Fey! March tulips trip me out in a good way! Daffodils across America! Wow! Look at the time! Central Park South New York continues to grow... Renaissance studliness at the Frick - woof! The Met will let you in if the date on the sticker is 👌 More daffodils - all yellow! ''All things wise and wonderful' ( Donations help me live! LIIIIVE! 😋)

Vintage International's blurbs in praise of ' About Looking ' really pimp John Berger's as a mind with which to tangle, but his starkly obvious limitations as a thinker leave me coughing hard and dry for what I can do that he can't. From page 7, in WHY LOOK AT ANIMALS?: 'A peasant [the second time he pointedly deploys as an example a peasant, as opposed, I suppose for *some* reason, to a noble-born or person of rank]...[I]s glad to salt away [his pig's] pork.' And on page 42, in PHOTOGRAPHS OF AGONY, he declares with an unctuous finality that there can be 'nothing to say' about people who do not find 'arresting,' and who pass over, photographic depictions of violence and bloodshed - thereby, albeit completely unsupported, negating an implication made to the contrary not a couple of paragraphs earlier. In all, I am alarmed at his apparent haste in cogitating. If anybody needs me, I'll be out and about looking for myself... ( Don

The Agony and the Ecstasy: H&M Review 16-03-2019

Image
I'm an H&M loyalist, but never has this world class retailer - for many a go-to when they need wardrobe staples - never has it engendered any extreme feelings but those that are positive. Today, I visited their flagship store on Manhattan's Times Square, where I encountered several sartorial thou-shalt-nots among the many must-haves. Salient moments from the men's department in photographs (five megapixel): Yes, Yes, YES! To this classic-seeming take on vintage 1980s Members Only. Really, an improvement over the original. There are times when (granted, after applying some individual accents) I would wear almost exactly in what the H&M mannequin is dressed, but to pair the otherwise fetching jacket above with the pictured pants is a major, 'No!' I almost wanted to call the management (but I was frightened that I might face accusations of stodginess.) Oh God, the band collar button-down: I so wanted it to die ignominiously on the Macy

A Day In the Life In Manhattan (Pictorial) + (bleg)

(bleg: starting afresh after leaving behind California and shitty, criminal mistreatment at the hands of stalkers, who were particularly horrid in the wake of my father's death. Quite an escape for me at 41 years old while on disability, which I receive for my psychiatric diagnoses and brain disorders... Anyway, making a go of it in New York City, where I'm finally getting proper treatment and a regimen that's allowing me to continue my education, brush up on my vocational skills, and find work and an apartment soon. Still getting stabilized, and welcome any help you can give... Thanks!) Naijin, or altar, at the Buddhist Church of New York, where I attend services. Service book, from which I and others chant sutras... Yours truly, five months into my new life in Manhattan, 'gradatim ferociter' through the hard New England winter. The second poem I've written since landing at JFK. A minor correction... Hmmm... Random s
