Three Amazing Things Before Dinner

Tonight on the way home from work I experienced the following:

1. A cherry tree that had been pruned into right-angle planes a couple of months ago. Now it's blooming so it's a giant rectangular prism of white blossoms!! It's beautiful. I will photograph it tomorrow, as it was too dim at the time, in the scintillating dusklight.

2. A man with one leg bicycling on a (regular old) bicycle. (How much of a heel am I for not riding a bike to work?)

3. A U.S. Supreme Court judge (via transcript, I think it was Souter, but don't quote me) refer to as accepted fact that the U.S. government "derives its authority from God." Um, excuse me? HOW ABOUT THE PEOPLE?!!!?!!!!!!??! I seem to remember something about them in the Constitution.

Meant to do some quilting tonight, but it hasn't happened yet. Maybe I'll watch some more Sex & the City, Season 4. They're running all of them on OnDemand, one season at a time. After season 1, though, they really went to town, making lots and lots of episodes and I can't make it through a full season before they switch them, so I've seen like half of the last two seasons.

Instead, I've been going through crap in my cluttered studio, trying to establish some order. (And avoiding THAT activity by emailing and posting to my blog.) I was sick yesterday, and worked a long day today. Anyway, it felt long. I think I was soaking up my boss' bad mood like a sponge, and didn't feel hydrated enough yet to seek solace in the yoga of Bikram. So I'm sort of in a funk.

'Night y'all.
