photos

Walking home yesterday, I tried to take a photo of this guy in front of me who was wearing rainbow-striped gumboots, a rainbow-striped jacket and a rainbow-striped beanie with a red pom-pom on top. He reminded me of Rainbow Brite. Unfortunately it was too dark, so you only get this weird ghosty picture:

Today, I started half-heartedly sorting and piling things again, but I finally got to a point where I could see the end in sight. So now I can see my floorboards, which makes me happy. Even better, though, is the fact that my keyboard is no longer covered in piles of crap, so I might be able to try to play it again.

I did, however, locate with a grin the Sandman series and Persepolis on your bookshelf. I just got a present of a compendium of the best American comics of the past year, which is making me want to read Alison Bechdel's _Fun House_. Are you familiar at all?

I loved Fun Home! (brief mention here)
At 4:39 PM, Queen of West Procrastination said...: What kind of keyboard is that? It looks really nice. (I'm especially asking because it looks like it has all 88 keys, and that makes me super-jealous. Mine is not full-sized, and I think I'm going to get a better one this year.)
At 5:14 PM, Lucy said...: It is nice, QoWP; it even has weighted keys. It's a yamaha p60, which is/was the bottom of their range of 88-weighted-key keyboards, but it's still pretty good.
