Oh, anecdotes.

Oh, anecdotes. I once had so many of you, though you were all variations of only a few themes (water, good! dreams, interesting! strangers, crazy!). I have less anecdotes these days because of the whole not leaving the house thing. Instead, I have twitter sized observations. For instance:

- My Christmas tree is still up.
- There are planes flying advertisements outside my window.
- My friend’s dog ate a squirrel yesterday.

I would illustrate these (first two) with photos, but getting up and finding my phone to take pictures seems hard. So instead I will give you some old photos and you can insert the missing objects in them mentally.

Here is a picture of my balcony:

Imagine sitting here and watching the giant Geico gecko drift by in the wake of a helicopter. You can also imagine, for accuracy’s sake, that it’s almost two years after when this photo was taken, but that won’t alter the picture. The red chairs, laptop, and dying flowers remain the same.

Here is a picture of a corner of my apartment:

Picture an ornament-less Christmas tree where the mic-less mic stand is. Again, accuracy requires an update. In this case, the passing of two years time results in a giant skyscraper obscuring much of the lake view. But it’s mirrored and reflects the sunset and is maybe even an improvement.

It looked beautiful even while being built:
