poet and passions
Mar. 24th, 2013 09:46 pmI wrote down some stuff about dental surgery that never happened and Cosi fan Tutte, a comic opera that was longer than I expected it to be (the set looked it was designed by Salvador Dali too), and Empty Space, which I am reading instead of Bones of the Moon, because I wasn't able to go home to pick it up after finishing the Wolf of Winter, and Somalia, where they love spaghetti and I find it very hard to feel sorry for the intended recipient of some weapons the pirates stole.
No captions here, just pictures. Feel free to share them on tumblr or whatever. Let me tell you about the time we got on the wrong train. That is the story. We checked out the WTC memorial because we took the wrong train and ended up a few blocks away from the site. It was a lot like flying, really, they had to inspect your stuff (no photography of that stuff allowed) and it was enclosed, probably to protect it from the orangutans.
Not that we were going on Ellis Island (my Irish, Italian, and Hungarian ancestors arrived here and my English ancestors were here when the city was still New Amsterdam) or taking pictures from the top of the Statue of Liberty, since it was closed. Let me tell you about the Statue of Liberty. *CIVILIZATION REFERENCE ALERT! CIVILIZATION REFERENCE ALERT* It isn't anywhere near as useful as you think it would be, though I do like to build it just to keep fundamentalism away from enemy civs for as long as possible. Really, the only thing you gain from it is fundamentalism and maybe communism.
Like before, everything is behind a cut because they're not only big, there are a hundred of them.





































































































Burning Question: What's with New York and killer orangutans, anyway?
