sometimes, and soon.

it'd be nice to take a long, long break. sometimes I wish it was 1849.
recently acquired some new music which has been quite lovely seeing as most of mine is gone, gone, gone. well. i'd say like, 90%. im up to 1200 tunes on the work computer and that doesn't count what's hidden on hard drives, unlabeled cds, cassette tapes, the few records I own that didn't get destroyed by the heat of a car, or stolen by a real dickweed.
still. it's extremely nice.

umm hmm. this is starting to turn into what is usually reserved for a sketchbook so lets turn this around. This winter there's some cat shows coming up that I'll surely be at! will post dates later.

nap.

news. if you find something kind of rad on craigslist, and you inquire, and you don't respond for a DAY, the price drops. dramatically.

no, it's not the organaire, (write me BACK! It would go oh so perfectly on the dashboard of the passenger seat of my car!)
and no, it's not Hum's "You'd Prefer An Astronaut" on vinyl. That was actually on ebay, and I really can't spend $166.00 on it. Someone got it though, so I'm jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjealous.
something else.

Also, I need new glasses.
Also, aside from dealing with shitty last minute stress at work of getting denied permission for a very important image, and the fact it was only sunny for a couple hours, today was quite ok, for a couple reasons.

The Reanimation Library

Recently, I visited The Reanimation Library
Located in Brooklyn, this was such a unique collection of books that are considered to be somewhat "useless" and that not a lot of people would have interest in anymore. However, for those seeking something very different and to spark some creative interest, I highly recommend this little treasure trove on Union Street.

From the website, some of the material you can find is as follows:
textbooks
pedagogical aides
"how-to" books,
atlases
scientific, medical, and technical manuals
government documents
books about the natural world (yes!)
space exploration
urban planning

Almost all the books I saw had beautiful drawings and photos in them as well. I happened to pick up the book called Traveling with The Birds, from 1933, and "Treasure Hunting Tips and Metal Detector Facts", from 1975.

Also, the library's own image archive
was fantastic.

I intend to explore this page more and all the links accompanying it soon.

Oh,
Hi.
I have a blog again.
Sometimes I have things to say.
