this evening's vanity

so i live in the northern part of manhattan where the island starts to get really skinny. this means i am within a few feet of two rivers, and as a west-sider, it's the hudson which i can call my dear friend.

work has been inordinately overwhelming and frustrating to me in the last few days, and so tonight i decided to relax a bit by staying home and doing much-needed laundry. and i absolutely had to share the view of the sunset from my dear 149th street laundromat today. this is riverside park, just steps from my building. the last few days i've taken liberty of walking through this park to fairway, aka the best grocery store of all time. beautiful, fresh, delicious, organic produce - piles of exotic and delectable cheeses... fresh foccaccia bread and other bakery delights. ah! it's heaven - and i can reach such delights after a short walk down this path, gazing at new jersey under trees and lampposts. quite beautiful, no?

so happy dusk, everyone... from the winter-tree-branches and pink-sky-glories of manhattan...

and p.s. brittany asked me today to post actual pictures of me on my blog sometime - i tried to do some self-portraits with the park in the background, but they were just SO awkward looking. sorry, baby-b. sometime soon je promise.
