I Can't Go for That
The pink bits on these lilies come from rose petals that had fallen on top of them.
It hasn't been a truly hot time in NYC, to my relief. I don't even have my air conditioner out yet. But the sunlight is getting summer hot, and it was a shock to me when I went out today, especially since we haven't been getting a lot of sun for the last two months so I'm more of a mushroom than usual.
It's still weird to me the music artists who get forgotten years later, some of whom were super popular and ubiquitous at the time and some of whom made really good music. This thought brought to you by me hearing a song that seriously and deeply sampled Hall & Oates' "I Can't Go for That" at CVS. Especially Hall & Oates, whose music was widely sampled by various artists because it's good and catchy as hell. But I never hear the originals played, including on the local oldies station. (Which, to my horror, has started playing some songs from the early '90s.)
I can't believe I hit my Medicare cap for physical therapy already; usually they'll let me continue going through August. After my remaining appointment this week, I won't get PT again until 2020 or I seriously injure myself again, whichever comes first. I once had two uninterrupted years of physical therapy because my ankles kept rolling.
I don't know if I'll ever actually make it, especially since it's in Staten Island, but I'm interested in visiting Alice Austen House, a designated site of LGBTQ historic significance. Alice Austen (1866 - 1952) was one of America's earliest and most prolific female photographers, and over the course of her life she captured about 8,000 images. Though she is best known for her documentary work, Austen was an artist with a strong aesthetic sensibility. Furthermore, she was a landscape designer, a master tennis player, and the first woman on Staten Island to own a car. She never married, and instead spent 50 years with Gertrude Tate.
If you're wondering, the icon used is something I originally made for my old Schuldig roleplaying account, tastes_of_honey.
