A dreary sunday laying about...
It's supposed to snow sometime today, but all I've seen is sleet and rain. Also, dreary like yesterday. But the temperatures are moderately cold as opposed to frigid. So I went for a walk and bought more stuff from the grocery store - mainly toilet paper, and a rotesseri chicken and soup. I want soup tonight - I think.
I've a window open and the A/C drifts on and off as needed, since the apartment is about fifty degrees warmer than it is outside - yesterday and today that meant between 76-86 degrees, without a window open or the A/C drifting on and off along with air purifiers. With them on? It's 75-77 degrees, sometimes drifting down to 69-71.
Ah. Apartment living in big cities. I'm not complaining - I like living in an apartment. I do not want to live in a house. Too high maintenance. I like having someone else be responsible for the exterior maintenance costs.
And it's a well maintained building.
Missed getting print magazines, so I subscribed to the New Yorker and New York Magazine (which includes the onzine Vulture in the subscription). ( Read more... )
Started watching:
1. Ally McBeal on Hulu (I never really watched it when it aired, just episodes here and there. It's vaguely amusing and holds up better than I expected.)
2. My Lady Jane - which is fun, but alas one season, so not sure about continuing.

Today the Interim Minister challenged the congregation to discuss race. Saying it is uncomfortable to talk about. ( Read more... )
Sharing two U2 songs in memory of Martin Luther King.
1. Pride: In the Name of Love
2. MLK
They sung MLK today at church. It's a deeply beautiful song.
