Okay, you finally get to see the view from the top of Brooklyn. Out in New York Harbor, over the statue’s right shoulder, is the Statue of Liberty. They’re hailing each other, which I love. And all credit for this photo goes to Rick, who took it. Blame him for me not having more happy pictures of Brooklyn to post, since I’m going to his house tonight and won’t have access to my laptop to upload. You’re gonna have to wait to see those.
So, happy post. Post lite. Non-political post. Almost. Mom gets to meet Teresa Heinz Kerry through her work, and I’m extremely jealous. I want to meet THK. Mom is also working a phone bank for John Kerry. I should also do that.
Other than politics. It’s tax-free week here in NYC (wonder why they picked this week? hmmm.) on clothing and shoes, so Lori and I are hitting the Skechers store and Gap tomorrow. Might as well take advantage of Mayor Mike’s generosity and take care of some of the winter wardrobe. My only question: how come I can’t get tax-free office and pet supplies? Is that asking too much? A tax-free visit to Target would make my year.
What else? I had a dream last night which I remember very clearly. Not an unusual occurrence. What was unusual was that it was a Def Leppard dream. Yeah, baby. Steph was there, and we found out that not only were the Leps having a concert on September 18, we were getting rewarded with a new Lep recording. Some old stuff, some new stuff, all rocking. And how did we find this out, you may ask? By meeting Phil Collen in Central Park (I don’t know, don’t ask), who told us and then got us backstage passes for the show. Joe Elliott was there, but he was an ass to us. Par for the course, eh, Steph? Overall, a very good dream. Much better than the dream I had Saturday night about going to a Liberace concert. I blame that on the Mexican we had for dinner.
Tomorrow…my thoughts on the Governator’s speech, a possible rant about NYC busses that serve two high schools and a college, making me wonder why I don’t find a better means of transport, and maybe a mini-post. If the tide of students isn’t as bad as today.
Moment of Zen: seen in the campus newspaper today: “The Writing Intensive course will finally answer the age old question of possessive comas: Do they belong before of after the ’s’?” Taken verbatim, folks. Not only the writer but his editor should obviously take the writing intensive course so they will know that possessives are indicated by apostrophes, not commas, and that “comas” are not a part of English grammar. Or shouldn’t be, at any rate.
