I’ve written before about how — even though I’m online nearly all day — I like to read newspapers (and magazines) printed on actual paper. I also like to tear things out of newspapers and magazines: titles of books I need to read or movies I need to see, any news stories that inspire or annoy me. Various scraps of paper and occasional whole newspaper sections then hang around the apartment for a long time. Sometimes I don’t recall exactly why I saved them. Today I came across an item I tore out of the New York Times’s Metropolitan Diary column at the beginning of last December. Metropolitan Diary often features overheard conversations. I’m going to guess this one cheered me up a bit as I braced for a birthday later that month.
And, while I have no idea why I saved a photo of Joan Rivers to my computer desktop in June, it seems to go well with the newspaper clipping, so here it is.
This made me smile!
I am often inspired by random things. And I keep magazine tears for 25 years…
I have some of those too but usually I’m more clear on why I kept them and they’re filed!
What day in December is your birthday? Are you a Sagittarius?
Capricorn! Dec. 23.
Hee! It’s like good ole fashioned “pinning” a la pinterest.
I like the beach boys and the beegees. What does that say about me!
Haha the clipping and pic of JR are examples of what we call an “only in NY” moment. You know, like when you say “Hey look at that clown” and it really is a clown. (This has happened more times than I can count!) Love the clipping! My fav was on our first anniversary walking on the west side of Central Park, and an elderly couple in front of us shouting “Get a life!” “No YOU get a life!” back and forth! We still quote that one!
