Miscellaneous

[redbird]

• The Lush lilac-scented bubble bath smells nice, but it made my palms itch. Oh, well, I probably would have had to end that bath with a shower in order to rinse my hair properly anyhow.


• Moxy Fruvous's albums Bargainville and Live Noise make an odd segue, from the introspection of "Gulf War Song" to the satire of "Michigan Militia." (This one may make sense only to bohemian_coast and cattitude. And me, of course.)


• The phone rang three times today: cattitude, womzilla, and eve99. That's a well-behaved communication device.


• Julian really is a good tiger cub, even if he did bite me the first time I tried medicating him.


• The people at the Greenmarket do a good meatloaf, but I suspect Julian and I may be tired of meatloaf in a couple of days. For the moment, I'm happy: meatloaf and a tomato from local farmers, and rye bread from down in Washington Heights. I like living in a big city, and one of the things I like is that there are so many good, tasty, and otherwise interesting things available.


• The extremely cheap subscription to Smithsonian I'm getting (via a coworker) comes with a membership card, which in turn gets me into the Cooper-Hewitt Museum free (most of the Smithsonian is free to everyone). I wonder if they'll have anything I want to see in the next year.
