Tonight is the lighting ceremony for the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, which is not too far from my office. Today at lunch I went to see the tree, because I know the throngs of retards tourists will keep me well away from the area once the tree is lit. I took the following pics with my trusty Sidekick.
So my computer died last Saturday. May it rest in peace. I ordered a new one, but I won't be posting much til it gets here and I get some time to set it up. I'm sure you'll all miss me terribly. When I'm back, maybe I'll try a 101 things post...
My new office is right around the corner from Bloomingdale's. Today at lunch they unveiled their Christmas display windows to the accompaniment of rather loud opera singing. I went by after work to take these very fuzzy pictures using my Sidekick.
It's the eve of my last day as a copy editor, and I would like to honor it with a quote and photo.
"The copy editor is, in a way, a combination of shaman (who possesses arcane secrets, like when to use an en dash), trusted friend (whose wise advice keeps you out of trouble), and dominatrix (whose demands are both painful and satisfying)." --Steven Pinker
