12 of 12: March

As you have probably noticed by now, my diligent pop culture blogging is now a thing of the past. I hope to start up again sometime in the near future, but for now, things will be awfully quiet in this corner of the internet. I blame my job and my spotty internet connection at home. I wish there was a way I could also blame Eliot Spitzer, but I haven’t quite figured a way to pin it on him yet. Long story short, the internet hates me these days. I am not too fond of it. We are barely on speaking terms. The magic is gone. That being said, here are a few things I would like to comment on before I move on.

Surprisingly, admit the chaos of my work day, I did manage to snap off twelve pictures for the month 12 of 12, so here we go.

If you look closely, you can see part of my face in this shot taken as I stepped outside the door to my apartment. If you look closer still, you could probably make out the Virgin Mary in the folds of my hat.

Usually, I make my own java at home, but I was running a bit late, so I stopped off to get a cup of coffee at my favorite cafe.

Rising from the subway to a bright, glorious day. Too bad I was trapped in my office for nine hours after this.

Work has been draining to the point of almost losing my sanity. This will probably be my view for the next three weeks.

There is a grim reality that always sets in when I leave the office after a long work day, knowing that I will be back to repeat the same sorry pattern again the next day.

One of the benefits to daylight savings time is that I know get to see the sun for a few precious minutes as I leave the office, instead of stepping out into darkness.

On my way to meet a couple of friends for dinner. I loved this woman’s red coat.

A street vendor and his wall of earrings.

Nothing makes one forget a work day faster than a nice, cozy dinner with good friends and good food.

On our way back home and the obligatory Starbucks on the corner.

Back home. Another day done.

And finally back at my apartment building.
