It's been quite the week. NYC was great, even though I've once again come home with a cold. I learned a lot at Deanna's workshop, which I hope to apply to future gigs (and one definite gig, if the other parties will get moving on their end). The other women staying at D's place were awesome, and we had a margarita & tarot pajama party Thursday evening.
Friday morning we went to the Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, very close to D's apartment. If you've been reading for any length of time, you'll know how I feel about old cemeteries, and this one is just magnificent. Lots of wonderful statuary and landscaping, and set on the site of the Battle of Brooklyn (and the highest point in Brooklyn). It was appropriately misty, making for some great moody shots. See the whole set here. After Green-wood, we went out to Coney Island in the fog and dipped our toes in the ocean, then had a Nathan's hot dog before heading back.
The bus ride home was a nightmare of traffic and construction, taking 5 1/2 hours (normally a 4 1/4 hour trip). And the poor driver had to turn around and do the return trip! He was a hoot, though: a real New Yorker, with a great sense of humor. He made the trip a lot less unpleasant than it could have been.
Yesterday, I went down to Southwick's Zoo with sea_dark_wine, justjanus, and our friend Jess, where we saw lots of interesting and awesome animals.
OMG, the big kitties! Lions, tigers, and a leopard. Not to mention chimps, birds, rhinos, kangaroos, and a multitude of others. It was packed with families, but spread out enough it didn't seem too crowded. It was great fun. See the whole set here.
Unfortunately, the cold had really started to get its grip into me at that point, so I came home and crashed hard for a couple of hours. Today, I'm not much good for anything. I went out this morning for juice, tissues, and cold meds, and I am down for the count. I really hate being sick, and the last cold I had was last May, right after that NY trip. My usually robust immunity apparently doesn't stand a chance against the millions of NYC germs.
How has your weekend been?

Полна луна безумия, Как мама молока. Как лава у Везувия Пречиста и мягка. Как мякоть задненёбная На ощупь языка. И если маме некуда Направить этот ад, То груди от чрезмерного Болят-болят-болят. И если маме есть куда Направить этот рай, То речка с горки вниз бежит – Помпеи заливай. Хоть все притихло внутренне, И кратер под дождем, Приходит полнолуние, И город обречен. Tags: графо

One thing I'd wanted to do for National Poetry Month was carve a poem in soap and leave it somewhere. But, it turns out to be more difficult to carve words in soap than I had expected--you need to write rather large... which cuts down on the length your poem can be. In the end, I decided to try for aphorisms instead of poetry, and then, hey, if it's soap, I thought going for things related to clean ought to do the trick. So, intending irony, I carved "clean hands, clean conscience." Heh, not true, alas. And then, by way of a prayer (maybe by the guy with the troubled conscience?) I did "Wash away my iniquity." I thought I'd leave them in a highway rest stop--that way lots of people would have a chance to see them. So this Friday, I left them at a rest stop on our way west. "People are going to think you're a religious nut," Little Springtime remarked. The god of irony is laughing at me. clean hands, clean conscience wash away my iniquity soap in situ Tags: art, photos

 30 Days of Marvel: Day 30: Something you would like Marvel to do (movie, comic, cartoon, adaption, apparel, etc.)1. A new Gambit comic. By a writer and artist I respect, which might be good. And yes, they’re doing it. They’re doing it! I live in hope that it will be good, and that they will get him right, and that I’ll enjoy it. 2. Another movie with Tom Hiddleston as Loki. 3. A Black Widow/S.H.I.E.L.D. movie. 4. A new Young Avengers title. Or just give Wiccan and Hulkling their own comic. 5. A new Hawkeye comic. Yes, I know, they’re doing one. I’m thinking of Kate Bishop, not Clint Barton. (Not that I have any complaints about the new Hawkeye comic - I just think there’s room enough for two Hawkeye comics in the Marvel universe!) 6. Bring back Pete Wisdom. Ideally, I’d like to see him reunited with Kitty Pryde, and written by someone clever and witty. Or, conversely, Pete Wisdom working with S.H.I.E.L.D. 7. Return and redemption of Mystique, Daken, and Forge. 8. Restitution of the Spider-Man/Mary Jane Watson marriage. 9. The return of Nightcrawler. 10. A movie with Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Nick Fury. 11. A new Nick Fury comic that isn’t a Max comic, or set in the past. 12. More diversity at Marvel: more female heroes, more gay and bi characters (especially women, which are lacking), more handicapped heroes, more non-American heroes, more heroes of different ethnicities. More women writing their stories. More women editing and drawing their stories. Tags: 30 day comics meme, comics, marvel, meme
