Blackberries near the Fortress of Solitude
I took the #12 out to my mother’s to finish watching a certain PBS series. The bus stopped near the Fortress of Solitude, which was what Matt and I called our old place. I’d forgotten how the blackberries grow in abundance around there. There will be some good pickin’ come August.
I knew this day was coming and I’m still sad.
Postcards from Russia and WDC
I love the simple line drawing on this postcard. David sent me a portion of Charles Bukowski’s poem “Consummation of Grief” which is striking and which I have fallen in love with. Thanks David.
This came from one half of my favorite blog: Pike Schemes. We will see each other very soon and she is as excited as I am. Because there’s nothing like a little trans-continental postcard communication when a face-to-face meeting in the hometown is imminent, though still seeming to be very far away. Thanks Sara!
Three sentence movie reviews: Downton Abbey Season III
Oh so many things happened in this season and I wasn’t really pleased with some of them. Still, I’m intrigued by Mr. Fellows’ unorthodox use of cast members (is he a British version of Joss Whedon?) and let’s face it, I was engrossed the entire time. I think with season four, I’ll make more of an effort to watch it in real time, because now everyone is over discussing what happened.
Cost: $4.00 (first disc watched Comcast On Demand, last two discs rented from Videorama)
Where watched: At mom’s house, with mom.
