Yesterday I painted the LAST available walls to paint. (I say available because one room requires attention but is inaccessible at the moment--storing art there.) Now, in terms of painting, I just need to hit the trim on the windows over the next few days. Lots of windows... Meanwhile, the kitchen is about a week from completion. Hell yes. L ( Read more... )

Well well well... In addition to the snowdump I mentioned in my last post, it snowed off and on, and inch or so, pretty much every day for the last week. I became a shoveling queen. Seriously, I've got that shit down to a science and art now. Last night it finally rained, thus washing away some of the sheer volume of snow on the ground. Good ( Read more... )

"Shitfuck!" That was my first word this morning. (Yes, shitfuck is one word.) Of all the days to oversleep, a workday wherein it snowed overnight is NOT one of them. No matter how magical the train, it will not give back an hour of your morning. Yet somehow, miraculously, I was on the platform by 9:00 and the train was not packed with angry, ( Read more... )

It's currently snowing so hard, wet, and sloppy that it's actually making a NOISE. I can HEAR it snow.

Damn the groundhog.

Runny nose, multiple layers of clothing, gloves, hats, the fact that it's effin' cold... yeah. No fun. Not my best work. It's like Nature is saltin' my game.

Bring forth the sweet delirium of Spring. I'll still have the runny nose, but at least I can wear my cute trench coat. And when it's Summer, watch out...

Rain tends to make me feel sexy... good thing I got laid about 4 times in the last 16 hours.

This guy. This fucking guy, I tell ya: he plays me like a fiddle. A dirty, naked, moaning, writhing fiddle.

I know there's a drought and the temp has been in the 100s...

but it didn't get any warmer than 62 degrees in NYC today. Rain rain rain too. Mmmm! My gothy, darkling side is reveling. I'm curled up on my floor cushions and wearing thin, fuzzy sweats.

Don't hate. I'd give you some if I could.

Less than a month ago PM told me that Spring doesn't really come to NYC until late April or May. Case in point: it's snowing right now, just as he predicted would happen at least one more time. And did I say snow? Let me clarify: giant clumps and lots of them. Visibility must be 50 yards, at BEST. Soooo glad I wore my heavy coat this morning, ( Read more... )

Here are a few pictures for my Southern friends and family... The first one is out my back window (1st floor, remember). Used to be a table, a bench, some grills... now just alien sort of reminders of a Summer abandoned.
