My archive coughed up this madness. This is from the lobby of a hotel in Queens that I stayed in with my family more than a decade ago. The entire place was like this. Ladies on lionesses, huge split geodes, fountains with mermaids, leopard print on the beds. It was amazing!!
In the lobby of a deeply eccentric hotel in Queens, NY, there is a nearly life-size status of a woman riding a leaping, snarling lioness. The woman's long hair streams behind her. She's wearing an ornate belt which conceals her groin, and some necklaces which do nothing to conceal her bosom. She's also wearing a cape. She brandishes a sword in her right hand but the blade has broken off so now she only wields the handle. The lobby floor is grey and white marble. Outside, beyond a plate glass window, sits an ancient vintage car. It is a dark green. On the low window sill side a tall, slender brass coffee pot.

#Romancelandia I am happy to report that I have located the book I was seeking. It is called The Spite Date and was written by the wonderful @pippagrant0.bsky.social (I think that's her) and all is right in my world. Literally the funniest book I ever read #books #booksky a.co/d/02yiHcef

Here's the state of my garden today. I ordered a couple more of those adorable trellis/tuteur things. Kale and parsley are already coming up. (I dunno, might be collards.) Rose doing well despite the hard frost. Waiting to see about the blackberry! #garden #bloomsky

I'm having a delightful day. Men are fixing my closets and my drippy toilet and my sad drywall. I need to stay home to be available to them but I also can't do anything particularly productive. So I've been lollygagging about like a queen and I'm absolutely loving every moment.

This book confused me in every conceivable way. First off, it is in no way the cheesy werewolf romance in claims to be. It is a fantasy novel, if Patricia McKillip and Samuel Beckett could have written one together. It is lyrical but incomprehensible. #booksky

In an effort to improve my overall well-being I'm working on eating fiber. So here's my breakfast: mission carb balance tortilla, 2 eggs, 1/2 avocado, and a salad that has cabbage, apple, onion, olives, carrots, cherry tomatoes, sesame tahini dressing. Est 24-26 grams fiber. #cooksky

For those of you who are back to a more regular working schedule today, some poetry to get you through.
New Year Office Chitchat

How was your Christmas? he asks at the water cooler

and, as the machine gurgles, she thinks about

the bloodstained rug and the silent scraping of the spade

in the garden at midnight and the wash wash washing

of her hands, and the dreams,

those endless dreams which haunt the night-time

and smudge their thumbprints on the day to come,

and she replies Super, thanks. Yours?

Well hey, if they succeed in murdering millions of Americans while driving away all immigrants, just think how annoyed they'll be when labor relations become much less favorable for them. You know, for any hardy survivors, I guess.
