Nature should be confined to zoos, arbors, and botanical gardens

Today is a glorious day. 81 degrees, low humidity, a few fluffy clouds. Really. Just perfect.

Which is obviously why I lost my mind.

"It's so beautiful," I thought, as I was getting ready for lunch, "I should eat outside. It'll be great. There are lots of benches and I can bring a book and I will photosynthesize and maybe get a bit of color. Capital idea, Anne!"

And pleased with myself I packed up mu home made salad and some other food-y odds and ends and traipsed down to the street to find a free spot a bench.

I found it. It was perfect. In the sun, but kind of shaded, among the hubbub of city life, but not to loud or distracting. A nice spot to eat lunch and read. *happy sigh*

Then I became the victim of a pigeon bombing.

Goshdamnfuckingsonofabitchassholeshitfuckfuckingfuckerfuck!!!!!

Well, I wasn't the direct recipient. I just got some of the . . . splash, if you will. On my book. And possibly in my food. I didn't really feel the need to take a chance, though, so everything went into the trash. Two blocks away, as there don't seem to be any trash cans on sixth ave in midtown. Grrrr.

So. Next time you may sense that I am thinking of venturing out into nature again you all have my permission to berate me until I relent.

Stupid pigeon. Stupid six dollar sandwich that I ended up getting because it was relatively healthy.

Plus side? EW tonight! Should be interesting. Or really boring, but profitable.

And I went to bed at 10:30 last night and may have actually slept.

And Blindness is really good, but seriously disturbing.

Eesh. That happened to be with a seagull at Jones Beach a few weeks ago. I spread out my towel, went to lie down, and then noticed a strange spot on the far corner of the towel. This was within one minute after putting down my towel.

But of course, that doesn't suck as much as getting it on your lunch. B/c the whole point of packing a lunch is that it's cheap and healthy. Thus, of the good for those of us who don't have abundant cash. If that had happened to my turkey sandwich I took outside today, I think I would've been quite pissed.

That totally sucks and you know how I hate pigeons. Maybe you need a tinfoil hat. And as a bonus then you'd probably get a bench all to yourself.
