Yesterday I voted, but didn’t do any funny write-ins for Lizard People or Wendy or my friends (though I know more than one person who used my name as a write-in candidate for various judgeships - eep). Nor did I follow any election coverage, figuring it would all be settled in the morning and I could wake up to the results. Guess I was wrong! Looks like MN will be subject to another long, drawn-out recount. Yay.
Five good things for this day of post mid-term election madness:
- The beautiful Underbelly Project, with works by 103 street artists from around the world, were mounted illegally in a long-abandoned New York City subway station this summer.
- Touching Strangers: A Creepily Wonderful Concept: “Holding the hand of a stranger is a creepy kind of wonderful. And asking strangers to touch each other might only seem creepy — but it has produced an awkwardly wonderful series by fine art photographer Richard Renaldi.”
- Fish With Transparent Head Filmed
- A little on the precious side for me, but still fun and yeah, I’d stay there if I could: A Milan Hotel Fit for a Fairy Tale
- Common mistakes people make with cameras - from a LIFE photographer, with historical photos from the LIFE library. A good read.
The week has been full of minor disappointments. Found out the Robyn show is sold out. The elections have been discouraging. I finally went to the doctor to get my lungs checked out but results were inconclusive (not unlike the election). And I had to shell out $122 for the two inhalers I was prescribed. They seem to help a little, but I’m supposed to rinse my mouth out after using one (that doesn’t seem super safe). But the biggest downer? I hadn’t mentioned anything about the Bucklin family until now, hanging on to the hope that there would be a better outcome and the missing plane would be located, with all aboard alive. But yesterday’s news crushed that hope. My heart goes out to the family. And I can’t help think about how hard the upcoming holidays will hit them.
