Working on a holiday
HEY! Please check out scruffulous's breaking world news recap (i.e. pictures from this weekend).
I feel like I'm really growing up because Saturday I went to historic sites all over Brooklyn and my overwhelming feeling was COOL!!!!, not 'I'm tired!' In Greenwood Cemetery we walked through catacombs and elaborate tombs. Performers played mournful accordion music and draped themseves over headstones and trees. There were a million goth couples there, and in the entrance there is a massive nest of green parrots. Outside the cemetery gates is a greenhouse filled with fake bouquets for the graves.
Before that we got to go inside the great stone archway in Grand Army Plaza. Inside the archway going up a narrow spiral staircase is a puppet museum (open Saturdays through Oct from 12-4. They are putting on a performance of Nosferatu for halloween.) Anyway, you can just walk in and wander up this set of stairs overhanging with giant hand-made puppets -- old grizzled men, skeletons, dog-lady creatures. Please don't gag at this comment, but it's truly magical.
We also went to the opera house at BAM and twirled around on stage, which was fun because I feel I was truly destined for The Stage, and simply got sidetracked with this editing/office business. Lata!
