Saw today: a yearly Scandinavian parade proceeding along 3rd ave: maidens in embroidered folk costumes, dancing; tall blonde men, the Arian ideal, waving Norwegian flags; on a sidewalk – a big and smelly Viking, quite believable: in horns and skins, sweating and swearing and spilling his beer speaking of smelly: my customary Pilates class this [...]

Maybe you will find a use for it: “4 unopened bags of confetti for … your big New Year’s countdown or any other glittery needs you may have”. I have no cause nor desire for celebration. Have you?

I am sure I am not the first one to notice the wave of obituaries in the last week or two. But there is not only famous (or infamous) people that got cut down lately. The event stirred up different, sometimes opposite emotions: Vaclav Havel (sadness and respectful condolences to his country); Kim Jong Il [...]

Yesterday when I was walking on Prince Street in SoHo, among small boutiques I passed a window of a shop. The window displayed green “grassy”shag carpet and a manikin dressed in unexciting clothes sort of “gesturing”, inviting the customers in. At her feet there was a cute toy bunny, “feeding on the grass”. Or so [...]

Fall holiday season has manifested itself with arrival of fresh cranberries in the grocery shops. Thanksgiving is in the air – and I wanted to thank a person I will always be in debt to: my grandma. It is her signature cake, “Cranberry grille”, that I made following an old family recipe, from a black [...]
If not for i_shmael’ intention to visit NY for a couple of days I wouldn’t up and go for a walk in BBG. I was searching for museum exhibitions to visit together, and looked into Brooklyn Museum’s schedule. Then I thought – why not drop in next door and walk the paths at the Garden? [...]

*Собирая вечером одежду на завтрашнее интервью, обнаружила, что утюг не пашет. Просто не греется, хотя лампочка и горит. Оно канешна, ему уже лет 17-18, в утюжьих годах – Мафусаил, да и помимо общей у него были гериатрические проблемы: недержание водички для пара (просто капала вниз во время глажки, прямо на бельё), перекрученый артритом провод, процарапаный [...]
