So there is this thing with umbrellas up here...they have very short lifespans. Maybe its the specific wind currents created by all the skyscrapers...maybe its just the weather in this part of the country and the umbrella death rate only seems so much higher here because of the concentration of people...but anyways....they don't survive long. Take any given rainy day in New York...walk 2 blocks..any block and you will see at least 1 dead umbrella...1 dead umbrella for every 2 blocks...how many blocks are there in NY? The other day (it was raining) I got off the subway, climbed the stairs, was about to step out onto the sidewalk, looked up to see this guy pull out his fancy automatic umbrella and push the button and the umbrella shoots out and keeps going- it shot of the pole and across the street.

I just wear a rain jacket. I'm not coordinated enough to use umbrellas anyways.

It is freakin cold up here. NY.

I am really bad at keeping up with blogs.
that is all i have to say.

Fish Eat Figs

Seriously. I just saw the "Freshwater" Planet Earth, one of the few I haven't seen. There are these fish in the Amazon that eat figs as they fall into the water from overhanging trees. Craziness. My cat has been trying to eat my moms mini Palm. Nd by trying I mean he has been eating it. She had to put it up on one of the few shelves he can't get to. yet.

Very strange to be back at home.
My room is a trip
Snoopy and cows cover the shelves.
The drawers are full of Umbros (from my soccer playing days)
Wasabi (my cat) is quite curious about it all.

Buh Bye!

So it's my last day of work for the foreseeable future. That makes me feel kinda funny inside.

No longer will I be a member of C.R. Time Company (where we have the time for you).

Yea that's right, I've been making time for the last year. It's a cool job.

HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEEN

No bumble bees to be found :(. And I am really just to lazy to make something. So its back to the backup- Rebecca the She Devil. I have horns and a spiky tail and a corset and a pitchfork. And I will wear my favorite shoes- my stiletto boots- or my "kickin butts and takin names" boots as I call them.

Austin, Tx for Halloween 08! This is going to be off the hook.

TENS of THOUSANDS of people are expected to hit downtown Austin tomorrow night.

Insanity will ensue.

Halloween is closely tied with Earth Day for my favorite holiday.

I need to find my flask.
