I Heart My Island

One of my favorite things about living on Roosevelt Island is the spectacular views we get of Manhattan's east side, but I particularly like how the city just disappears whenever there's the slightest bit of fog over the river. For example, this is what the Queensboro bridge normally looks like on a cloudy day if you're standing near the Roosevelt Island subway station. And this is what it looked like this morning. Today was foggy, but not remarkably so. The bridge fades away even more dramatically when there's a thicker layer of mist, and it feels like Manhattan itself just isn't there anymore, which is eerily delightful.

Tweet

Nice piece in Time about Twitter. (Hey, I like those puppy and kitten videos on YouTube - is that why I like Twitter too?) Also, every time I end up at the Time site lately (which admittedly isn't all that often), I can't help but notice that their current design is very slick. Especially when compared to most news and magazine sites.

Chris made dinner for me and our friends Johan and Meg last night, who we hadn't seen in far too long. And who actually hadn't ever seen our Roosevelt Island apartment — shocking, since we've been here just over two years now. There was much Stella consumed, and some really fantastic cheesecake from Junior's. (The leftovers of which were devoured this morning with coffee — mmm.)

I've spent most of today working, but for once it's solely personal stuff, which is very refreshing. My eyes are starting to complain about yet another day spent in front of a monitor, though, so I think I'll call it a night pretty soon.

You can now find me on Virb and Twitter. Yeah, that's in addition to Last.fm, LibraryThing, Flickr, del.icio.us, MySpace, Friendster, Orkut, Vox, LiveJournal, MetaFilter, Slashdot, and Digg. What can I say? I guess I like filling out forms.

The weather this week, by the way, is lovely. And the Stolen Babies album is tremendously fun.

In Which I Complain About Precipitation (Again)

The weather in New York City today may be eligible for some kind of award. I'm thinking along the lines of Most Dismal, Soul-Sucking Crap Imaginable (So Far This Year).

I don't have any idea what you'd call the stuff that's coming out of the sky right now. It's like some sort of cold, hard, tangible manifestation of hate. I know, I know - that makes it sound like it would be right up my alley. But as it turns out it just means my socks and pant legs were soaked through with horrible slushy material, and people seemed very keen to slip and fall down the stairs at the subway station.

I arrived at my apartment a cold, quivering animal, incapable of human speech and seeking only warmth and safety. Hooray for spring.
