Dear New York

Dear New York,

I know there would be problems with drug use and prostitution if you had them, but if you would add more public restrooms, I bet your streets and parks would smell less like pee.

Love,
Mun Mun

P.S. If you added some elevators to the subway, I bet people with baby strollers would appreciate it.

Audiobook of Golden Compass

Yesterday I finished listening to the first book of the "His Dark Materials" Trilogy by Philip Pullman on tape. Though I was alone in my car, I was tempted to stand up and applaud when it ended. It was that good. Philip Pullman narrated and a large cast did the voices on this Listening Library production.

Oge had recommended the trilogy a few years back and I'm finally getting around to it. If you like Harry Potter, you'll dig the Golden Compass fo' sho'.

I love Iorek Byrnison!

TK Sleeptalking

Sometimes I talk to TK and he seems awake, but he's really asleep. This morning around 5 am he had his arm around me.

Mun: I'm gonna get up and go to the bathroom.
TK: Are you going to call someone?
Mun: Like...am I going to call one of the cats? (once I'm in there)
TK: I don't know. I don't work for your organization.

Lost Bitch

I was driving on Gage Avenue in South Central today on an errand for my job and saw a flier someone must have put on a telephone pole looking for a missing person. There was a goofy close-up of a Latino girl and some information about her. Someone had scrawled at the top of the flier, "Lost Bitch."

Depressing and funny at the same time.
