things and a poll
The doves in my alley have adopted the strange behavior of landing in front of cars and just sitting there in the middle of the pavement. I know they can act funny during nesting season, but they don't seem to be defending their nests, just fascinated by puddles and/or lacking in self-preservation instincts. Today I had to stop the car and get out before one of them would move along. DOVES, YOU ARE DRUNK.

Other things, randomly:
+ One highlight of my trip to New York was the Alexander McQueen exhibition at the Met. I didn't know a lot about Alexander McQueen before I went; I knew people were very upset about his death but I didn't have a sense of why he was considered so important as a designer. Augh, this exhibit though--so great and so beautiful! If you have a chance to see the exhibition, I really, really recommend it.
My favorite ensemble:
(The hat, OMG!)
+ As part of my birthday celebration, I saw Hamlet performed at a park near my house, by a little company that's been doing Shakespeare there for like 30 years. A couple of the actors were a little shaky but the guy who played Hamlet was exceptional and I was left with such a wonderful feeling of having seen something great. I felt emotionally attached to him by the end, the way one does when someone draws you into their character that way.
+ I still need to actually sign up for het_bigbang, but I've decided to do it. Cue anxiety! But rather than inflict it far and wide, I thought I'd distract myself by taking a poll. The subject: het_bigbang filter, yes or no?
Poll Het_Bigbang poll: Should I make a filter?
