Sometimes, the MTA is fun. 🚇

I beat the Mario RPG remake while cat sitting this past week. Lots of nostalgia for this one, and the updated graphics and sound were a fun way to reexperience it. 🕹️

I’ve been cat sitting Rocco this week. Here’s how it’s going. 🐈‍⬛

Got some doodling in today.

Two doodles on small pieces of paper. One is a skeleton prancing with some flowers around. The other is a whimsical bearded crazy hair face who’s smiling.

Another old gold hour shot. I don’t remember where this was taken.

I’m thinking of being from the 1970s.

Follow up food shots from Sunday’s supper club.

We started with some fish in a really nice sauce. Don’t you wish I remembered anything more specific? Me too.

Close up of fish in a light white sauce, garnished with some herbs in a white plate.

Then we had slice duck with grilled eggplant with a walnut and pecan sauce. That yellow Swiss cheese cracker looking dude is fried flower oil. Bonkers.

After that, we lightened it up with tamale, cheese, and pickled tomatillo with a unique salsa verde. Almost all the ingredients here are from pre-colonial Mexico.

Finally, we finished with a moist polenta cake with some sort of sweet, tangy jam and this light, sugary cracker cookie that I forget the name of.

Close up of a thick, brown cake, almost zuccini bread looking, with a dark red jam with a fruit that looks like strawberries but isn't. There's a half eaten cookie with some of the jam on it and sugar coating. All on a white plate.

The chefs gave wonderful explanation on each dish, and I can’t remember it. Thankfully, the pictures speak for themselves. All these shots were taken by my friend Jenny.

My Chef friend Kayla ran a supper club on our roof last night. Incredible food, and lovely company. No notes.

Playing with photo filters.

A photo of an abandoned Brooklyn street under an elevated highway. There is graffiti on the retraining wall on the left, and parked cars on the street. The image is stylized with filters to produce hightened reds and pinks, with jagged color stops.

Me, a white man, years ago. I have messy hair, thin stubble, and a tired, sunken expression. I hold a film clapper. You can make out that it reads "Ghost house Shit house scene 2E take 1"

One time, in the far distant past, I used to both have hair and make movies. I loved every minute of both. 🍿

I spent last Sunday in Central Park with my friend Lindsay, playing with her medium format film camera. She taught me how to focus, the F-stop, the focal range, and even got to peak inside and see how the entirely mechanical apparatus worked. So satisfyingly tactile. Thanks Lindsay!

It's a bright day with a metal foundtain as the focus. The fountain has a decorative angle on top. There's red cobbles on the ground, and trees in the background. Several people of various ethnicities mill around and sit on the lip of the fountain.

A big dog on a leash, sleeping outside. The dog's people, a white couple wearing sunglasses, are sitting nearby, holding the leash.

Green water with two box turtles, just their shells poking out from the surface.

Green water with bushy, green plant clusters popping out in curated clumps. There's a fountain spilling water down in sparkled drops in the top left edge.

A castle looking structure shot from a low angle against a bright blue sky. A leafy tree with twisting branches hangs between the viewer and the castle.

A park square with many dozens of people enjoying the day, shot from above. There's a fountain in the middle, and behind that is green water. People in row boast glide across the surface, and there's green trees behind on the opposite bank. In the extreme forground, out of focus, is the top of a low wall overlooking the square. A plastic water bottle rests atop it.

A jury of pidgins. Five are on a bathroom break. 🐦

Here’s Retsina, breaking in my new futon cover. 🐱🐈

A calico cat sprawled on a futon on the floor. There’s a tan blanket and a grey pillow. The blanked is pushed to one side, revealing a dark blue futon cover with white patterns which I don’t remember what they are and I can’t see them at this zoom level o. The photo.

I had a visitor this morning. 🐱

A calico cat, Retsina, cuddling in a blanket half on top of my white arm.

Taking gruvbox for a spin today for the first time in years. I’m digging it.

3 books stacked on top of each other: The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin, 2061: Odyssey Three by Arthur C. Clarke, and Norby: Robot for Hire by Janet and Issac Asimov

I picked up two sequels to books I don’t have the previous parts to, along with a novel starring Norby the Robot, whom I can only assume is a well known, beloved character. 📚🤖

A Money plant hanging from the side of a full, narrow wooden bookshelf in a white planter. The planter is attached to the top of the bookshelf with rope.

Over the weekend I picked up a new plant. Put some live trees next to my dead trees.

My roommate had an extra ticket so last night I got to see Jeff Rosenstock at the Warsaw. Really fun show. 🎵

How am I doing? Well today I’m slamming assorted rice crackers 🍘
