Apologies to the Religious Jews in the Audience

Baruch attah adonai eloheinu melech ha-olam, asher k'dishanu bo'mitzvotav, vitzivanu lehadleek nehr, shel Mom.



I miss you, Mom.

May those of you who are observing Yom Kippur have an easy fast, and be written down in the book of life.

Borrowed from http://stakebait.livejournal.com:

"if I've done anything, in the past ever, that offended you and that we haven't talked already about, I would like to know if you want to tell me. I don't promise to apologize, but I promise to listen, and to explain if you want me to, and to wrestle down my defensiveness enough to at least consider the question of whether I ought to apologize or to change. And I promise that if I do, I won't expect automatic forgiveness."

Update!

Mr. Fantastic

I didn't catch this gentleman's name, as he was off for a night with his buddies.


9th Avenue, in the 50s

He looked pretty fantastic!

We Are All Nerds

We are currently witnessing a paradigm shift.

Comic book movies are breaking box office records.

Science Fiction and Speculative Fiction are becoming more and more popular.

Fashion trends have otherwise stylish people wearing the shirt you threw out fifteen years ago.

The Geek are truly Inheriting The Earth.

And I plan on documenting it.

Every non-geeky person I see reading a comic book, a science fiction or fantasy novel, wearing a genre t-shirt, or sporting any other trapping of a geek, I will photograph and publish here. (With their permission, of course!)

I give you J, my first example...

Has Anyone Seen My Red Stapler?

Where did I go?!?

I went to Pennsic.

Other than Comic Con, this is the geekiest vacation I could have gone on.

And there was literally four days separating the two.

I was sure I'd find a suitable image for what I dubbed my "Geek-cation Double Header," and sure enough, providence smiled up on me.


Look on the left side...

What did you guys do on your Summer Vacations?

Friday Photo Blogging!

It's Spring in New York, Stapler Fans!

I love Spring. I love taking pictures of the new green things all around, too!


Park Avenue has pretty trees


I love the tulip beds on Park Avenue.


More tulips!


One of these things is not like the other...


I love trees that have flowers!

Friday Photo Blogging!

Ok, Stapler Fans...

Don't use this info to stalk yours truly.

One of the things I really like about my job is that I work near Grand Central Station. Aside from being convenient, it also means getting to experience Tartan Week can be done on a lunch hour.

I took some photos, and now I share them with you...


Advertising!


I really love bagpipes. And men in kilts. Lucky for me, they often come together.


There was a fashion kiltmaker there. She had some GORGEOUS stuff.


Like this dress.


I preferred this dress, though.


I always squee a little when I see The Lewis Chessmen.


Not Scottish, but extremely cool anyhow.


Seriously, these guys were so great, I waited for the next train.


They rocked. Hard.

That's all I got!

Maybe next week you'll get more kitty pictures...
