Eye-popping Parrots 2 (more parrots)This Bloomingdale's window series was amazing to see in person, with the light and colors popping out of the windows a bit. The leopards prowling in the back video screens in two windows kept distracting me though, with the movement I perceived at the corner of my eye making me think someone was coming up on me, setting off my "canny New Yorker" fight-or-flight instincts. At 3 a.m.

I also posted some photos I took before the serious rainstorms of two recent days. Like in this brief clip taken at St. John's Roman Catholic Cemetery, which doesn't look ominous at all.


You can see them all at my Flickr.

This cool car is the only survivor of the sixteen red 1958 Plymouth Furies used during the filming and promotional tour of the 1983 horror movie Christine. I'd love to get behind the wheel of something like this and drive it a bit. No parallel parking though.

Bo Burnham posted this on his account, so Netflix won't kill it. Here's "White Woman's Instagram," which is deeper and has more empathy than it first appears to. He set up and staged all these images on his own. And performed them.

those windows are amazing (the clothes aren't for me, but I do love the displays)
