New Heading Pic!

Ok, the picture behing the blog title has been changed from an adorable Ruddy Kingfisher to a wonderful American Goldfinch!

Has anyone else off in cyberspace started their Christmas lists? (Yes, I still do that. They're much shorter than they used to be though! And now they don't include Barbies.)

Hey

Hi, sorry I haven't posted. I've been very very very busy. I've been:

A, preparing for the Big Sit!

B, sewing my Halloween costume.

And C, perusing France and New York City.

The Big Sit is one of the biggest Birding events of the year. It lasts for all 24 hours of October 15th, which fell on a Sunday this year. If you're participating you are supposed to bird-watch for the whole time and count how many birds you see and hear. I think if you're a member of the National Birding Association (NBA, ironically enough) you can submit your number and the biggest one wins a prize or something. I spent most of Sunday sitting outside, part of the afternoon my friend sat with me. I identified (saw or heard) 3 birds! For a major amateur like me that's incredible! Congratulate me (with comments!)

Haha, it's been awhile since I pleaded for comments, from readers who I severely doubt are there.

My Halloween costume is Gaz, the sister of Dib from Invader Zim. I'm wearing a purple wig (I dyed an old blonde one of my mom's) and clothes I obviously am making myself.

And I was doing my perusing of France and New York City via Google Maps "street view." It's sososososo incredible. I've only been to NYC twice but I love it. And France never, unfortunately.

Anyway, GTG.

A Boot, in Honor of Those Changin' Leaves

These are Manolo Blahnik cap toe booties. I love their vibe. It's kind of film-noir, right? The Chanel-esque cap toes, the monocromatic, staid coloring. Aren't they great?

Speaking of Chanel-esque, I need to tell you something that can now only be called Chanel-esque.

Coco avant Chanel. Coco before Chanel. I can tell you right now that the movie is going to be a farce of the early life of my idol. In the review in the Times, it said, blatantly incorrect, that Coco and Adrienne were sisters. THEY WEREN'T! Adrienne was her frickin' AUNT! Dammit. She had two sisters, Julia who was a moron and faced the same fate as her mother, accidental pregnancy and being worked to death. And there was Antoinette, who died of a disease like yellow fever in South America.
