The birds are a-tweet, the temperature is trenchcoat-worthy, things are finally starting to melt, and... what do I see there in the center?  Looks like a couple of tiny clovers starting to sprout.  But I'm not biologist.  Still... I'm feeling verrry optimistic!

My next door neighbor's porch.  She's a real go-getter of a septuagenarian.  Thursday is her "road-trip" day with her boyfriend... she and he go to points unknown for the day and they don't come back til 1 or 2 in the morning.  She also encourages us to party as much as we want, because she likes "to hear young people having fun."

As you may or may not know, I am ridiculously broke right now.  I did myself the disservice today of looking in a vintage/resale kind of shop and falling in love with a floaty pink skirt as I am wont to do.  Well, I just wouldn't let it die, so I rummaged around in my trunk for something I could sell.  I came up with a damned good purse, that was really not my style and hadn't been used in nearly a year, and even then, I think I used it possibly 5 times.  Moral of the story-- I got my skirt, plus $6.  On the way out, I noticed that the front glass was peppered with what I assumed to be BB holes.  

Now that February is a thing of the past, I've decided that March gets to be green, partially because it won't be too hard to swing, and also because I'm being optimistic about spring.  Here goes... !

Catching dinner with my sweets at this bagel deli that also makes a mean curry, in addition to General Tso Wings.  Here, the ubiquitous Good Humor freezer, I laughed at the explosion of ice creams on the side.  But where's the Choco Taco?

Jeff attending to his phone while we hang out at Wild Goose.  They recently put in a whole wall of record sleeves of the late 70's, early 80's one-big-thing-on-an-all-white-cover genre.  Although this blog is not really my main drag, and mostly a way of coaxing myself into taking photos everyday, if you do like it, as a few of you sweet people have said that you do, you can now Follow my blog with bloglovin !

Til the 27th,

Bowling.  These shoes are super fresh, and the lanes know it.  Unlike every other pair, they defaced these with their own name in Sharpie all over to deter theft.  "HP Lanes" is the new name of what was formerly known as "Mr. Bill's"... I think I might have left with them if they scribbled "Mr. Bill's" all over them.  Let it be known here and throughout the land that I officially predict a bowling shoe comeback, sooner than later.

I don't think I have the "photographing fish" thing completely down, despite my camera's "aquarium setting", things still look dark.  I'd like to come back to this subject soon, though-- but at the time I took this picture, I was in a serious time crunch and had just so happened to pass this fish store.  I stormed in with my camera, jostling past dubious parents with ziplocs full of guppies and 10-year-olds lingering around the tanks debating with eachother whether one fish would eat the ones he had at home and whether it would be cool enough watching it to risk it.  I think I spent exactly 90 seconds in the store.  What can I say?  I work fast.
